Let’s start this blog with a little motivation, shall we? 


“When you’re losing motivation, just remember how amazing you’ll look in the white coat.”


The NCERT books for Classes 11 and 12 are regarded as the holy grail by subject experts and they are a must to secure high scores in NEET 2022. Finding the ideal books, however, can be difficult for many students who want to pass the NEET in 2022 with high scores. Such applicants frequently question whether the NCERT materials are sufficient to pass the NEET 2022. All those issues and more are answered in this blog.

Overview

The greatest study resources for NEET 2022 preparation are NCERT textbooks and PYQPs. Additionally, the primary subjects included in the NEET curriculum 2022 are Physics, Chemistry, and Biology - all based on the NCERT syllabus for Classes 11 and 12. As a result, students preparing for NEET 2022 should extensively review the NCERT textbook content. 


Candidates should carefully read the NCERT text, which serves as the foundation for each question. These textbooks genuinely lay the groundwork for the subjects and will support additional information and facts that are more significant. 


Students will undoubtedly need additional study material to pass NEET 2022 because NCERT textbooks will only build a strong foundation and aid in expanding the subject knowledge. 


Multiple-choice questions (MCQs) are part of the NEET test, and only studying NCERT books will not assist candidates in correctly resolving the questions. Aspirants who want to pass the NEET test can practice objective books in addition to NCERT to improve their study methods, speed, and accuracy. The exam will have 200 questions, and in 50 per cent of cases, they are mostly NCERT-based. Other than NCERT books, the next best study material is PYQPs of NEET.

How to Score 650+ in NEET 2022 with Zero Preparation?

As we all know, there are a few requirements for the NEET exam preparation, namely commitment, effort, focus, and attention. Put in all this and you'll achieve a score of 650 or above on the NEET exam in 2022.


Remember, nothing is impossible. However, nothing can be achieved without putting in  100% effort and focus. If you're willing to provide every last bit of energy with the utmost sincerity, the sky's the limit. Competitive exams like NEET, JEE, and others demand both effort and attention to detail. The only way to succeed is through perseverance.


In total, out of 200 questions, a candidate is required to solve 180 questions in the NEET exam. For a score of 650 points, one must attempt 163 questions with almost no mistakes. Planning is necessary prior to the exam and computations must be made. The only thing that can make someone flawless, is practice. To avoid receiving a failing grade, answer 163 questions correctly, as the score will be affected by the negative marking. 


Follow These Steps to be Clear of Your Goal

  1. Understand the Exam Pattern - 

  • There are 200 questions in the question paper, and out of the total, aspirants need to answer only 180.

  • 180 questions are divided into 3 sections: Physics, Chemistry, and Biology.

  1. Know the Syllabus - Physics, Chemistry, and Biology courses from Classes 11 and 12 are covered in depth in the NEET 2022 syllabus. NTA carefully examined the 10+2 syllabus for the state board before developing the NEET 2022 syllabus.

  2. Know the negative marking criteria - If the aim is 650 or higher, the marking criteria should be known. The aim and score can both be ruined by a false answer. The evaluation criteria for the NEET exam in 2022 are as follows:

  • 0 marks are given for Un-answered question

  • +4 marks are given for a correct answer.

  • -1 mark is given for the wrong answer

  1. Make a Timetable - Create a schedule based on the course syllabus. Prioritize the easiest topics first, then move on to the most challenging ones. Give Biology, Chemistry, and Physics equal weight in the order of importance. Start with biology while continuing with another course. Start by focusing on the arguments that have the most support and weight. In less time, cover more ground.

  2. Gather all the Study Material for NEET 2022 Preparation - For NEET preparation, there are several reference books available. Try to solve the test questions from last year as well. Conduct practice exams to gain a sense of the difficulty level of the question bank. To solve the numerical and chemical reactions, quicken your timing.

Conclusion

Everything you need to prepare for the NEET 2022 Exam is in the NCERT textbook. It's not enough, though. However, NCERT is required. It aids in developing a solid conceptual foundation for you, which is crucial for NEET preparation. Some claim that a structure cannot stand without a more solid foundation. 


Second, practising a lot of questions will help you achieve a NEET exam score of 620 or above. The back exercise questions in NCERT are insufficient for practice. To practice MCQs and a variety of different questions, students need reference books. Therefore, without a structure, an empty base is meaningless. NCERT plus the extensive practice of questions will surely give you 620+ on the NEET. Clearance of concepts is also required. Only when concepts are clear can you find an answer to a problem. So, continue to practice and keep your notions clear.
