• Know the syllabus first. The syllabus is as per the undergraduate medicine degree as per the provisions of the MCI. Know about the important subject, topics and sub-topics so that the candidates don’t miss out on anything.
• Focus on the most important subjects first including Patho, Pharmacology, PSM, OBG, Medicine and Surgery.
• Complete the preparations for memorizing parts at first.
• Solve MCQs as much as possible. Refer to solved papers and question banks for typical questions. As per previous NEET PG Toppers, solving MCQs early on helped them mark the difference.
• Make a note of questions that have been repeated frequently in the recent few years.
• Make time for daily revision of studied topics. Make short notes and bookmark important sections. Refer to these notes and ensure that every topic/subject studied is revised at least 2-3 times.
• Refer to the previous year question papers of the NEET PG exam. Include them in a study plan to cover the preparations for high scoring sections efficiently.
• Avoid discussing the preparation strategy, just stay confident and positive about the preparation that has been done until now.
• Solve mock tests online and offline and improve time management capabilities so as to attempt a higher number of questions accurately in the exam.
