NEET preparation is not something that can be accomplished in a few days’ time. There may be a gap of weeks before you come back to chapter A. By this time, you may not remember everything important about that chapter that you may have read from somewhere else. This is where sticky notes come in handy. Make a note of important things, outside of the textbook, and paste it on the corner of the relevant pages. A quick look at these little notes and you can recollect everything.
Tip#6: Note down your mistakes
When you start solving NEET mock tests you will come across many questions that you may have difficulty with. It is advisable to make a note of all these questions in your revision notes. Taking a quick glance at these mistakes just before the examination will prevent you from making the same mistakes during the examination.
