Few general guidelines from my side to help you out for next few months

  1. Remember that it is still possible !! - this is probably the longest time anyone has got for preparing for NEET PG (due to COVID19 related delay). Even if you have wasted time waiting for dates to be announced, I am sure you would have gained at least 20-30% extra knowledge in this extra time that you got. Trust me - it WILL make a great difference for the actual exam (I hope you haven’t wasted the FULL extra time which you got)

  2. Theory + MCQs + Revision = Good Rank . This formula holds good whatever the pattern of exam. Along with revising the theory matter by itself, relevant subject/topic MCQs will help you to revise theory which you have studied.

  3. Solve MCQs also daily - either from SWTs or GTs or any source. The basic idea is to train your brain to solve MCQs. It will break the monotony and prevent slowness and boredom and under-confidence from setting in. Even 45-60 mins of MCQs will be enough…a little more than this is welcome.

  4. Don’t get bogged down in one subject only - 2 subjects at a time will help you to cover more and give confidence (2/3 of day for big subject and 1/3 of day for small subject) is a good guideline to follow.

  5. Don’t get carried away by too many “new type” questions . Most Apps and mentors in an effort to be “up to date with the new pattern AND to make their Q-banks unique” have started inserting “PG level questions” into the Q Banks (again, their intention is good - BUT too many PG level questions will undermine the confidence of PG aspirants). If your basic theory knowledge is good - you WILL be able to answer a good proportion of these “clinical type” questions also !! PG level questions will comprise less than 5% of the 300 questions in the actual exam.

  6. GT’s (Grand Tests) - How many grand tests to write ? What to do is GT scores are low etc… GTs have multiple uses

To test your endurance - whether you can sit in front of the computer for 210 minutes un-interrupted and write the exam.

To test your MCQ solving ability - to recognise silly mistakes, to solve long clinical questions by identifying the “keywords” in the question etc…

Don’t worry too much about GT scores and lose confidence - The PG seat is NOT allotted based on GT scores - It depends on the NEET PG exam !!!

These are a few thoughts which I have shared. Hope it helped.
