NEET UG : Last Minute Revision Tips and Exam Strategy
There are students who start their competitive exam preparations as early as 10th grade onwards and then there are students who find it difficult to manage time for preparation between school assignments, tests and studying for the boards.
Even though its essential to start the preparation for these exams early there are some effective last minute revision tips and exam strategies that all students can follow to ensure that they are well prepared for the competitive exams.
Let us look at some of these tips and strategies:
1. Take Mock tests –
The benefit of taking up mock tests is that students can assess their own performance, understand how prepared they are, get an idea of the exam pattern and how they need to manage their time throughout the exam. Hence, attempting mock tests can boost student confidence and prepare them well for the competitive exams.
2. Be Optimistic –
Stressing on the fact that you have less time remaining is only going to discourage you, make the most efficient use of the time you have. Comparing yourself with others is also not the best way to go about. Hence, developing a positive and optimistic approach is going to help you prepare well, even if its last minute.
3. Do not hesitate to ask doubts –
Holding on to your doubts is not going to help you, you need to get them clarified by either your coaching instructor, teacher, friend, or anyone who can give you the right information and help you out. Getting a clear picture of and understanding all your concepts is important before attending your competitive exams.
4. Sleep Well –
It is common habit for students to study overnight; stress themselves out and perform poorly in the exams. A good 7-9 hours of sleep is essential to study and attempt the exams with an active mind. Plan your day properly and make sure that you stick to that schedule. Taking power naps of 20-30 mins is also recommended to refresh and help students regain their focus.
5. Revise all Important Concepts, Formulas, Theorems, etc. –
Even if a student does not know the direct answer to a question, they can make a fair attempt to answer if they know the concepts/Formulas/Theorems right. An effective method to memorize concepts is by jotting them down in books, this way the student can easily recall the various formulas, concepts etc.
