Are you a student who is keen to crack the NEET 2024? One of the most important aspects of the NEET exam is conquering the biology section. Prof. M. Jayaprakash, HOD of the Zoology Department, has shared his expert insights to help prepare our students for the exam in a strategic manner.
While preparing for the NEET, it is essential to recognize the significant weight biology holds in the NEET exam. Comprising four subjects—physics, chemistry, botany, and zoology—biology alone accounts for 50% of the marks, with 360 out of 720 marks to score for sure.
To excel in the biology section, focus on thorough textbook study, as most questions are taken from NCERT textbooks. Professor Jayaprakash emphasizes the importance of reading, re-reading, and note-taking to aid memory retention. Additionally, revising scientific terminologies repeatedly can help strengthen memory and enhance understanding.
Practice makes perfect, so make sure to solve MCQs based on textbook content and previous years' biology questions. Allocate 90 minutes for 180 questions, aiming for efficient time management to complete the biology section within the first 50 minutes if possible to alleviate stress and anxiety for the rest of the exam duration. Also prioritize answering the easiest questions first to maximize marks and allot time accordingly for other subjects. Another expert tip for students to keep in mind is to only attempt questions with high certainty to avoid negative marking and increase their chances of success.
Remember, adopting a logical approach to exam writing is key to maximizing efficiency and accuracy. Aim for a perfect score of 360/360 in the biology section by following these strategies. With dedication, effective study strategies, and expert guidance from Zephyr Entrance Coaching, you can ace the biology section of NEET 2024 and pave the way for a successful future!
