This means: – Accuracy matters more than speed. – Biology cannot be weak. – Careless errors can drop your rank quite sharply.
Track question types, not chapters. Classify: Direct • Assertion-Reason • Multi-Concept • Numerical Fix weak areas first.
Identify: Concept Errors • Application Errors • Careless Mistakes If carelessness >10%, fix speed.
Analyse 10-year PYQs. Spot repeating topics. Mark NCERT. Study patterns, not randomly.
– Collecting too many reference books. – Ignoring the negative marking impact. – Studying without tracking error patterns. – Giving mocks without structured analysis. – Ignoring weak chapters because they feel uncomfortable. – Studying passively (only reading, no recall testing). – Solving questions without timing yourself.
Solving previous years’ question papers will help you get an idea about the type of questions you will be asked in the exam.
