Key Tips for Cracking NEET-PG

1. Practice MCQs Daily

• Importance: Essential for confidence and familiarity with the exam pattern.
• Target: 100-200 MCQs per day
  • Start with 20-50 questions daily if 100 is overwhelming
  • Gradually increase to 100 questions; then to 150-200 as the exam approaches
• Content: Mix of previous year questions and other important questions from MCQ-based platforms (Marrow, PrepLadder, Unacademy, etc.)
• Strategy: Learn to recognize patterns, rule out options, and strengthen guessing ability through practice
• Subjects: Cover multiple subjects daily for versatility

2. Plan Three Revisions

• Importance: Consolidates learning and ensures thorough preparation.
• **Duration:
  • First revision: 45 days
  • Second revision: 20-25 days
  • Last revision: 8-10 days before exam
• Focus: Last 8-10 days are most crucial; aim to revise important concepts from all 19 subjects.**

3. Create a 20th Notebook

• Purpose: Consolidate important information from all subjects into one concise source for last-minute revision.
• Alternative: If not making a personal 20th notebook, use 'First Aid' for USMLE Step 1 or BTR by Zainab Aram Ma’am
  • First Aid: Covers many subjects (pathology, microbiology, psychiatry, pharmacology, etc.) but not all (e.g., gynecology, pediatrics)
  • BTR: Another comprehensive resource recommended
• Personalization: Essential; using someone else’s 20th notebook is less effective

Conclusion

• Non-Negotiable: MCQs daily, three planned revisions, a 20th notebook or alternative source
