Scheduling

There is no substitute for framing a good study schedule. It takes time to set up, but it will be worth it as it indicates that each time you sit down to study, you are spending time efficiently.

Setting short-term and long-term goals

Apart from setting an aim of clearing NEET and getting into the best medical college, you also need to set short-term goals on the basis of everyday tasks. Layout a plan for tasks, to be performed on a daily basis to ensure the NEET syllabus is covered. This boosts confidence when small tasks are accomplished.

Work with the calendar

Start working backwards by first finding the date of NEET. Take a look at all the days, weeks and months before the date of NEET and chalk out a plan accordingly. Mark each hour of the day you wish to study, the days you will be too busy and the flex days to study extra in the event of something unexpected coming your way.

Staying consistent

Haphazard studying is as good as not studying at all. Give it your all to put up with your study plans regularly throughout the day. The more you inculcate studying and preparation in your routine, the more it becomes a habit and hence the effectiveness increases. This way, you are training your mind to be ready to learn for each day.

Strike a balance

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy – goes perfectly in this context. Ensure to indulge in enough, stipulated breaks too. 5-10 minutes for every hour is not a bad idea. Further, refrain from dedicating the entire day to one single activity, for instance studying Biology the whole day. It can bore you sooner than you thought. Add a range of activities revolving around the same activity smartly. This way, you are learning interestingly minus the possible distractions.
