As we have less than 30 days from the NEET PG exam, let’s discuss a highly effective exam strategy to utilize these 30 days to the fullest.
Four things you should remember:
- Be mentally strong – It’s a mental game, especially now – in the last 30 days. Try to remain calm and focused. With a relaxed mind, you can give a great finishing touch to your preparation.
- Be very choosy in what you do – Understand what is important to cover and plan accordingly. It’s not important to cover everything. Just remember it’s time to revise what you studied already and practice more. Previous Year Papers (PYP) are the most effective way to identify important topics and facts.
- Play on your strengths & shore up on weaknesses – The “One-size-fits-all” formula is not good at this stage. Focus on your strengths. MCQs and Grand/Mock Tests are the best way to identify your strengths and weaknesses.
- Multiple Revision is the key – The best way to revise is student notes & recap videos.
Let us go through each of them in detail:
1. Attempt at least Previous 5 Year Papers:
According to a detailed analysis of the previous year’s papers, we can assure you that the topics which have been asked in the last 5 years of the NEET PG exam have an 80% chance to be repeated in the coming NEET PG exam. And thus, multiple in-depth revisions of past 5-year papers must form the core of your last month’s NEET PG strategy.
Aakash PG plus has given detailed solutions to previous year’s papers where all 4 options are explained in detail covering the topic in its entirety.
If you have already done PYP thoroughly, then work on:
- Harrison tables: you know which ones – pericardial disease; fever & rash; aspergillosis treatment, etc.
- Skull foramina
- Nerves of the hand: supply & injuries
- Dermatomes of UL & LL
- Parasympathetic ganglia
- Sphenoid bone – anatomy & applied aspects
- Orbit – anatomy & applied aspects
- The base of the brain – exiting cranial nerves – images
- Coronary blood supply
- Thoracic duct
- Thoracic cross-section at T4 – image
- Foramen of Winslow
- Stomach blood supply
- Uterus – position (anatomy, with applied)
- Internal iliac artery branches
- Internal carotid artery branches
- Gastrin physiology
- Stomach acid secretion physiology
- Iron absorption – all steps (yes, hepcidin as well!)
- Ions responsible for action potential phases, with antiarrhythmics’ MOA
- Aquaporins
- Lung volumes & capacities – applied aspects
- Lung compliance – applied aspects
- Antibiotics MOA – detail! (which step in RNA synthesis or cell wall synthesis inhibited; with the binding site)
- Peculiar adverse effects of amiodarone; phenytoin; lamotrigine; cyclophosphamide;
- Inhibitors of ETC;
- Glycolysis – applied aspects
- abInsulin – physiological actions, with transporters (GLUTs) – actions & locations
- 10 images from Robbins every morning; 1 organism from micro every afternoon; 1 drug class every evening; Park’s textbook 1 hour daily
- You get the drift … “read whatever you remember”… write the points 2-3 times and it will help you to remember them for a long time.
Doing a PYP means reading up on the topics – quickly: a few additional facts (other than what was asked the last time). A MM question is always a PYQ, as is Rh iso-immunization!
2. Practice through MCQ and Mock/Grand Test:
Give yourself a fixed target: To each his own; depending on your capacity and stamina; give yourself a daily target and stick to it diligently. A daily practice of 40-50 MCQs from the question bank/ a weekly Mock Test practice to give you an exam simulation experience to minimize the D-day stress/anxiety is the best way to utilize this last month. Question-based revision helps you to understand the concepts, cover high-yield topics, and also prepares you for attempting MCQs at the exam center.
Aakash PG plus has 20,000+ MCQs based on topics that have been repeatedly asked in the exams. 5,000+ clinical-based and 3,000+ image-based MCQs prepare you for every exam pattern possible. Detailed explanations along with the use of high-resolution images, flowcharts, and tables help in better retention.
3. Notes:
Utilize notes as the most effective tool for revision in this last month. It is best if you have your handwritten notes as these are best to understand and memorize for the exam day.
If you have not prepared your notes till now or are not sure if they are sufficient enough, then it’s best to leave them to us.
Aakash PG plus has brought these smarter notes specially crafted by specialists and super specialists, where, we have tried to make simplified notes in the form of flowcharts, tables, use of easy mnemonics along with patient snapshots, and extra punch points to give that extra edge in your NEET exam. Our notes are miniature versions of your reference books so rest assured.
You can utilize our notes for your final revision and you need not open your books at this time. The previous year’s paper questions and the points which have a high probability to be asked in the future have been highlighted specifically so that there is no doubt of them being missed.
4. Revision is the key:
Try to revise your course at least 3 times. You need to ensure that every revision takes less time with higher retention. You can prioritize the topic’s revision after analyzing your weak points where you feel you need multiple revisions but don’t forget to take into account the weightage of subjects/topics in previous year’s papers.
Aakash PG plus recap videos are specially created to utilize this crunch time to the fullest. Each topic has its recap covering the humongous syllabus in the minimal time possible.
