To add to the points mentioned above, candidates can refer to the below-mentioned points in regards to their preparation for the exam.
- Keep Track of your Progress: Keep a record of the work being done every day. Make sure that the work being done today is better than the previous day's work. It also ensures that the candidate does not repeat the same mistakes that were committed the previous day.
- Divide your Time: Candidates should make a proper timetable by dividing their time effectively and allotting more time for the important sections of the exam. This way they can systematically prepare for the exam without wasting too much time on any particular topic or subject which could ultimately lead them to run out of time to prepare and study the rest of the subjects in the syllabus.
- Study Materials: Lots of study materials are available online, as well as in the market. Moreover, candidates can check out the reference books to get knowledge about the exam topics. Apart from using reference books, the most effective material to study is to solve the NEET PG question papers from the previous years.
