Biology Preparation Assistance

Review the topic before learning it in the classroom.

In order to have a strong foundation, it is essential to read your biology curriculum every day.

Be sure to learn from NCERT Books For NEET. Since many questions are diagram-based, it is important to go through the diagrams in the NCERT books.

Crack all the sample questions given in NCERT for pre-medical examinations. Some complex questions may appear in which the connotation and theory of the problem are changed by rearranging a few words.

The candidate should be aware of the relative importance of each unit so that they can plan their studying accordingly. Chapters with greater importance should be given more attention.

Prioritize the following topics for a decent NEET score: Plant Diversity, Genetics and Biotechnology, Ecology, Plant Reproduction, Plant Physiology, Cell Biology and Cell Division, Animal Diversity, Human Physiology, Human Reproduction and Reproductive Health, and Origin and Evolution. However, other chapters should not be ignored.

Topics like Plantae and Animalia can be a bit tricky to understand. It’s important to regularly review and practice the concepts of Phylum non-chordata and the class levels up to chordate.

To emphasize important points, use markers.

Attempt to practice taking online exams in order to become more familiar with the format and to help you stay on track with time management.

Drink lots of water.

Make sure to get enough sleep.
