But this doesn\u2019t mean that you should avoid early preparation. But according to our NEET experts, aspiring candidates should start with their NEET preparation from class 11th, it is considered to be the best time as the syllabus of medical exams is also covered from Class 11 onwards.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:post-content -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Clearing NEET exams requires hard work and a well-planned NEET preparation strategy. So, this is why instead of starting your exam prep a few months before the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aakash.ac.in\/neet-exam\">NEET exam<\/a>, won\u2019t do you any good.<\/p>\r\n<p>At Aakash, we have trained lakhs of NEET toppers. The biggest difference between average and top rankers is this: they do not \u201cstart in class 12\u201d. They build their base from Day 1 of class 11.<br \/>Let us understand how to start NEET preparation from class 11.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why NEET Preparation from Class 11 Matters So Much<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the NTA, more than 20 lakh students appear for NEET every year. But very few score above 650. It is because NEET tests concepts and not your memory.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you do not understand class 11 topics well, class 12 can feel hard for you. Topics like:<\/span><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mechanics in Physics<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aakash.ac.in\/important-concepts\/chemistry\/chemical-bonding\">Chemical Bonding<\/a> and<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aakash.ac.in\/important-concepts\/chemistry\/thermodynamic\"> Thermodynamics<\/a><\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plant and Human Physiology<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are foundation chapters.

Not how fast you can solve them. Knowing the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NEET exam dates<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is important for you. Check it to know when you need to start preparing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understand the NEET Exam Before You Begin<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you start planning anything, you need to understand the basics:<\/span><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Total Questions<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: 200 (180 to be attempted)<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Subjects<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Physics, Chemistry, Biology<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Total Marks<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: 720<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Marking Scheme<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: +4 for correct, -1 for wrong<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Biology has 360 marks alone.

You will find out similar topics, and it would be really beneficial for you in the long run. Make a list of NEET topics and then tick them off when you have studied them in your school. According to our expert faculty members, 90 percent of the questions of the NEET exam are covered in NCERT books. So, if you ignore your NCERT books, you\u2019re actually ignoring 90 percent of your NEET syllabus. Studying NCERT books is like following the roadmap of your NEET journey. NCERT books cover topics in a detailed manner, they explain each topic in a way that is easy to understand and can be memorized easily. Also, NCERT books are designed keeping the CBSE guidelines and curriculum in mind which are followed by all entrance exams. <strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><strong>3.

As if you have backlogs of different subjects or topics, and the current chapters which are being discussed in your class are different, your mind won\u2019t be able to focus on any.

Also, don\u2019t forget to make notes while you\u2019re studying or revising, as they\u2019re very important and will help you as a quick revision guide.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><strong>5.
