Last year, the Board released the CBSE results for Class 10, 12 on May 13, 2024.

Q:   How can one prepare for the boards and the NEET at the same time?

A:

With focus and dedication, you can definitely prepare for Board exams and NEET simultaneously. We recommend you follow the below points:

Understand the Basics: Understand and absorb every detail in the NCERT textbooks for Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. Create your own notes, highlight key points, and solve practice problems based on NCERT.

Plan Your Time Wisely: Develop a practical study schedule considering school, NEET preparation, and breaks. Initially, dedicate more time to NEET and adjust as the board exams approach. Stick to your plan and avoid procrastination.

Focus on Key Topics: Recognize the topics crucial for NEET that might not be as emphasized in board exams, such as advanced organic chemistry. Allocate extra study time to these priorities.

Practice Regularly: Solve previous years' NEET and board question papers to grasp exam patterns and question types. Take mock tests frequently to evaluate your progress, identify weak areas, and boost your confidence in exam-taking.

Take Care of Yourself: Maintain a healthy sleep routine, eat nutritious meals, and engage in regular exercise. Prioritize mental well-being by taking breaks, practicing relaxation techniques, and seeking support from loved ones to avoid stress.

Seek Support: Consider taking help from teachers and peers or utilizing online resources for NEET-specific preparation. Consult teachers for clarity on subjects and guidance for board exams. Don't hesitate to ask for help when needed.

Believe in Your Abilities: Stay positive and motivated throughout your journey. Understand that consistent effort and a strategic approach will lead to success. Celebrate your achievements, no matter how small, and trust in your ability to excel in both exams.
