How to Prepare Chemistry for NEET Exam 2023

With NEET 2023 around the corner, it becomes a season of preparation and revision all over again. NEET is the medical entrance exam conducted for students to gain admission into the medical undergraduate program. The students are tested in three main subjects: physics, chemistry, and biology. Some students find it difficult to prepare for chemistry as there are a lot of chemical reactions that have to be kept in mind, and they find it difficult to memorize them. 

Here in this blog, a better understanding of how to prepare chemistry for NEE exam is discussed.

Tips to Prepare Chemistry for NEET Exam 2023

1. Know the Syllabus Properly

Before beginning NEET preparation, it is common practice to skip over understanding or analyzing the syllabus. Knowing the syllabus is the first step to good preparation for the NEET. Check the syllabus, try to understand the topics, and start evaluating the importance of each topic. This can be understood by looking at the weight of each topic. There will be constant updates and insights on the pattern of the exam. Make sure to keep track of it. The percentage of weight will help you determine where you should spend more time revising.

3. Create Notes

The best way to learn quickly and retain the information for a long time is to make notes on every topic you are learning. These notes should be prepared either while attending coaching sessions or when you are doing your own self learning. These notes are necessary to help you come back when you start planning your revision. It will be ideal to use acronyms while studying, which will help you remember important equations and points easily. It will also help you to have a quick glance over the notes just before the exam, and it will help much better than textbooks. But make sure you also learn from the notes that your coaching institute has given you.

4. Target the NCERT

Before investing yourself in learning all these other academic textbooks available in the market, you have to get a good hold of the NCERT textbooks. This is because the entire chemistry syllabus in the NEET exam is based on NCERT textbooks. Without laying the foundation of chemistry with the help of NCERT, it will be difficult to understand the advanced level of questions that are dealt with in the books by outside publishers. The coaching institutions first deal with NCERT and then go to other books.

5. Examine Previous Years’ Question Papers 

Previous year’s question papers will give you a good idea about the types of questions that will be asked during the NEET exam in 2023. It will be much easier for you to understand the concepts if you regularly practice the questions as part of your preparation. It will also be helpful if you run into problems and need help completing the questions. Sample question papers will aid in dealing with different kinds of questions, and as you know, practice makes perfect, and this will help you score well in Chemistry.
