Regular practice of mock test

NEET PG 2025 mock test is like a practice match before the actual game. It is just the replica of the actual exam which makes candidates learn all about the NEET PG 2025 exam pattern. Appearing in the mock test every now and then helps candidates to check their performance on the basis of their preparation. NEET PG mock test 2024 also lets candidates know whether the existing preparation strategy needs any tweak or not.

Revise thoroughly

Revision is key. Whatever has been read from the syllabus, that needs to be revised regularly so that it remains in your mind for a longer time. Revising from notes gives you an edge. Make a strategy for the revision, like choose revision of lengthy topic with smaller one or comparatively boring topic with an interesting one. Do take care of the fact that all topics get revised on regular intervals of time.

Q:   How difficult is the NEET PG?

A:

NEET PG is a higher-level exam with a high level of competition. The NEET PG exam syllabus is extensive and covers all 19 subjects that a medico studies during the MBBS. The student's preparation time is also limited, and they must balance coursework and an internship.

This leaves little to no time to prepare for the NEET PG. A student works an internship at a hospital before the NEET PG exam, and the shifts are unpredictable. A lack of preparation time combined with intense competition makes NEET PG a difficult nut to crack. At the same time, it is not impossible task to score well in the exam. Candidates only need proper preparation, planning, and consistent efforts. What matters is that you believe in yourself and work towards your goal.

Q:   Which book is the best for preparing for the NEET-PG?

A:
Anatomy- Pulse + Rajesh Kaushal notes Physiology- Soumen Manna Biochem- Rebecca James Pathology- Devesh Mishra Pharmacology- Ranjan Kumar Patel Forensic- Submit Seth Microbiology- Apurba Sastry ENT- Manisha Opthalmology - Sudha Seetharam SPM- Vivek Jain Medicine- Mudit Khanna Pediatrics- Sushanta Bhanja Surgery- Pritesh + Surgery Sixer by RRM Gynae & Obs- Unit Bhojani Orthopedics- Apurv Mehra Radiology- Summer Seth Skin- Pulse.

Q:   How many hours should I study per day to crack NEET PG?

A:

Candidates expect to devote many hours to crack any competitive exams. This rule applies in NEET exam also. Candidates have to devote serious 5-7 hours daily to prepare the exam throughly. Experts belive candidates should utilize this time with proper planning. They should have strategies in place how to use these hours to cover in and out of every topic of NEET PG syllabus. Some candidates may require more time than daily than others and this may depends on many factors especially where they actually stand before starting preparation.

Q:   How much time is sufficient for NEET PG preparation?

A:

This depends on a number of factors. Preparation time may vary from candidate to candidate as per their individual ability. On an average candidates should have 3-5 months to give their best shot at NEET PG. Out of 5 months preparation time, 2 months can be dedicated for topic preparation, 1 months for revision and rest for mock test and practising sample papers. Candidates should plan in such a way so that lengthy and difficult subjects can be covered within 1-2 weeks while easy and short subjects to be covered in 3-5 days.

Q:   How important is taking mock test to prepare for NEET PG?

A:

Taking mock tests is an important aspect of preparing for the NEET PG exam. It can help you in several ways, such as: Understanding the exam pattern and type of questions that may be asked.

  • Familiarizing yourself with the online mode of the exam.
  • Identifying your strengths and weaknesses, and focusing on improving your weak areas. 
  • Enhancing your time management and accuracy.
  • Boosting your confidence, as you'll get an idea of what to expect in the actual exam.

However, it's important to note that mock tests alone may not be enough to crack the exam. You should also complete the entire NEET PG syllabus and focus on other aspects of your preparation, such as studying the important topics and practicing previous year's question papers.

Check previous year question papers

Solving NEET PG question papers make candidates gain confidence before the exam. Candidates get to know about the type of question being asked in the exam and their difficulty level. Candidates get an idea about the number of questions being asked from any particular topic. Previous year question paper also helps candidates to work on those areas where they lack.

Seek the guidance of seniors/professors to clear doubts

Doubts are something that makes candidates confuse and it needs to do away with as soon as possible. As NEET PG 2025 is one of the toughest exams, candidates should not live with doubt in any topics of NEET PG 2025 syllabus. Colleagues/seniors/professors should be consulted to make you understand the concept and clear doubts.

Be Postitive and Motivated

Candidates should never let the negative thought come into their mind. Never think too about the outcome in the exam. Always think that your preparation is the best. Whenever you feel low due to any reason, try to unwind yourself through the things you enjoy the most. This could be watching your favourite music or playing games or anyting else. The objective is to let brain relax and rejuvenate.
