Preparing for Boards with NEET Exam

Many students gets worried that if they prepare for NEET, their boards preparation may get affected due to this. This is wrong assumption. Rightly said by Himanshi Malik (MBBS student) –

“Boards are something that need not to be worried about. If your grasp on concepts is good then it is easy. As a NEET aspirant, your sole focus is on MCQs so you may find subjective questions difficult to write but believe me you can still do very good with just a little practice. Just do previous years question papers. Try to write in points and draw flowcharts. Manage time while attempting.”

Board exams basically test your knowledge while NEET questions test application of knowledge. Acquiring knowledge with clear concepts will take care of you Boards. NEET requires more practice, speed, accuracy and time management skills using various results and tricks.

You have to be flexible between solving questions for board exams and NEET. Board exams have step-wise marking scheme, you need to write in points, flowcharts and diagrams are part of the answers. While in NEET, you just want the answer in shortest possible time with rough calculations.
