Biology Preparation in NEET 2023:

Choose the appropriate materials:

1. Reading theory: systematically prepared NEET centric materials.
2. Revision materials: organize your notes exclusively for the revision purpose (should be used parallel with the reading materials & for the revision later).
3. MCQs: NEET + NCERT past papers & practice tests.
4. Avoid using multiple & unfamiliar materials to prevent confusion, delay in preparation & make your revision easy + effective.

Suggested Schedule with time distribution for Biology in NEET-UG?

The time you spend/subject depends upon Your basic knowledge in the subject (Cover weak areas first →go to your stronger areas→ returning at the end of your entire review to those subjects you once considered your weak areas.
The schedule is not rigid & you can adjust the distribution of the hours based on your knowledge in the chapter:

1. Plan to spend more time on those subjects/chapters that gave you trouble, and less time on your strong subjects/chapters.
2. High yield subjects & topics should be given more importance.
