If toppers are to be listened to then it is highly advised by them that each and every student have their own weaknesses and positivity. It is better to work on the weaknesses and enhance the positivity. Self-strategizing is the best way to understand what method and what way will be beneficial to the individual.

  • Start preparing from class 11th: Most of the students who have topped the NEET examinations tend to support the fact that one should start preparing for such examinations since they start with their class 11th Starting from this time helps in providing better focus and understanding of the subjects. One gets a total of two year time to give to this preparation. You can easily get distracted from your path if you are any late from starting with the preparations.

  • Don’t just study for the sake of it: Studying with keeping in mind that you are here to attain knowledge and not cram. Studying without understanding the basic depth of the subject tends to destroy the foundation. It is advised by the previous students to gather knowledge while studying or you will end up memorizing things and that is not a good practice for topping or rather cracking such examinations. Giving to gather an understanding is the deep knowledge that least student tends to have who think of preparing for the NEET.
  • There is no substitute for hard work: Not just toppers any person who knows the value of hard work will tell you the same thing. Achieving something exemplary needs dedication and hard work that is unmatchable in nature. You will be competing with students with an equal aim of studying medicine from the top-notch medical institutions in India and only your hard work can speak for yourself. Setting an example and turning out to be an example needs plain and simple hard work. Any kind of shortcuts to the road of such achievements might lead to a disaster that can be dangerous for a career.
  • Learn time management: Time management is the key of achieving the dream of being a topper in the NEET examination. Each and every individual has a number of things lined up and finding out time for each of them is essential and equally important. Every other work and entertainment is important and should be maintained but not at the cost of another. There are things that provide oxygen to survive and curtailing the same just because you want to focus on NEET will spell disaster such as stress and as mentioned stress is a down-point in NEET preparation. So, make a proper time-table and decide how much time you want to invest in what activity. Your segregation of time for each work will be your first step towards making sure that your mind is de-cluttered with stress and tension.
  • Talk with the previous students: You will come across a number of students who appeared for the NEET examinations at one time or the other and have cleared it with flying colors. The previous toppers advise to have a chat with them and get some insights about what they did that made their preparation different from yours. The different individual has a different take on how things are to be done. There is no need of following them blindly. Just grabbing an idea or two is the best way to mechanize study patterns and preparation for the NEET.
  • Eat healthy and stay healthy: Staying healthy is the best way to ensure that you can give your 100% to the NEET preparation. All the previous toppers made it a point that they keep their body and mind healthy as it will help them in providing fuel to their goal. Proper intake of food and exercise is the best way to tackle health and stability. You need to keep a proper check on the food that makes you ill or lethargic. Take a stroll every time you are done with a meal as it helps in digestion and a proper digestion leads to overall health. Meditation and exercise are another way of ensuring a proper well-being of the body and mind. Remember your healthy self can help in providing the best output.

No doubt NEET is one of the most important examinations for candidates who want to study medicine in India but it is essential to understand what an individual is capable of achieving. Confidence in oneself, honesty on their mindset, focus on the goal, dedication towards the aim and the undaunted spirit of never-to-back-down is one of the best methods of achieving anything in life.

A spirited person has the power to achieve greatness with a handful. Good Luck!
