What is the best way to revise syllabus during NEET preparation?

I am answering about how to REVISE syllabus and I am assuming that you have an average hold in the subjects as you have read them previously.


Choose your panic subject and give it a fixed time. I will elaborate. I had problems with inorganic chemistry and few chapters of biology. And the evening time was most productive for me to understand things as I woke up late and studied late till night. So, I made a plan of 25 days and divided the chapters of inorganic chemistry and entire biology into small parts to read everyday. I devoted entire evening for that.


Easy-peesy subject plan. There is always a subject which seems easier to you than your friends. That subject is your stronghold. For me , It was Physics. I knew that even if I don't solve the questions of physics daily, I will still fetch a decent mark in that subject. Once you have known your stronghold, assign your non productive time to itI woke up late in the morning and took time to orient myself. Hence I used to solve physics in the morning. That helped to orient my brain too.


Once you have assigned time to your fear and stronghold, Reach out for remaining subjects.

  • Physics :Thermo, Optics, Gravity, Modern Phy, EMI
  • Chemistry : Organic, Kinetics, Electrochem, Solutions, Atomic structure, Noble gases, Halogen rxn, Lithium family and others . Its very difficult to assign important topics to chemistry because everything seems important in this subject.
  • Biology: Ecology, Reproduction, Molecular basis of Inh. , Biotech, Plant kingdom , 5 kingdom classification, Cell and overview of plant an human physiology.

I wrote the word 'overview' because plant and animal physiology will take multiple attempts to revise.

AND

These are *important chapters* according to me because I was good with the remaining chapters. But you can have a completely different perspective. Please use the above list as an example and not as a reference. Make a list of your own and stick to it.


This will be the backbone of your revision.

  1. Reading/solving weak subject in your dominant time
  2. Reading/solving strong subject in your weak time.
  3. Making a list of other remaining chapters and assign them the leftover time.

For few small yet high yeilding chapters like biomolecules, polymers, chemistry in everyday life, cockroach, (first chapter in XI Biology) etc, make it a habit to read them like stories before going to sleep. They are good sleep inducers and repeated reading will make a strong base in your mind without any effort and give you a peaceful sleep too. Dont make their notes rather scribble in the NCERT so that you see it everytime you open the book.


Time is precious but take a break. Remember you are not a robot. Don't expect yourself to be able to stick 100% to your plan. There will be days when you cant read and want a break. Go out for a walk or eat good food and just sleep. Don't watch a movie because it will affect the seriousness of you preparation. When you are back to form, return to studies.


Always keep 2 weeks in hand. Again, this is a personal opinion. You are free make modifications to it according to your need. But make sure that you keep some time.

If NEET is on Sept 13 (just an example), make a plan till August 30. And assign time to your subjects in such a manner that everything gets covered within April 30. By this, you will also get an average per day reading time.

You can see many of your friends ahead of you and many friends lagging behind. But if you plan a perfect per-day reading time, all these things will stop to matter. And you will know that you will finish your revision before 2 weeks. More confidence !!!!!


Once you complete revising, give as many MOCK TESTS as you can. Make sure they are full course tests because part-syllabus tests will be of no help in last moment.


Believe in god. Don't waste time to think about backup plans if you fail. See, no one in the world can give a guarantee of your passing and failing in NEET. But introspecting about negative consequences will downgrade your confidence and will make you more closer towards failure

Best of luck. Hope that you will stand in your own white coat soon
