The NEET exam determines the undergraduate MBBS admissions in India. Students aspire to be good and responsible doctors, and the NEET test determines their chances of success. NEET is the first of the many steps one needs to take toward becoming a successful doctor. While mastery in subjects of the NEET exam, viz. Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, is a non-negotiable, cracking this exam is a sum-total of key qualities that an aspirant should possess. So in this blog on education, let’s discuss some key qualities a NEET aspirant should possess. Each candidate will chart their own course, focusing their efforts on a few essential abilities while maintaining their motivation levels. Click here to read more about motivation. How to maintain your motivation to succeed in your NEET exams.
Given below are some of the qualities that a candidate should possess in order to succeed in the NEET exam.
Goal Visualization
The concept of Goal Visualization is borrowed from sports, where athletes are taught to picture and imagine themselves winning a championship. This helps them in focusing their preparatory efforts and staying focused that the ultimate path is the desired path and will require sacrifices.
The visualization process will not only help a candidate stay away from distractions, social media, or other unproductive activities, but also help a candidate in dealing with frustration, overcoming burnout, and appreciating that it is good at the end of the effort.
Failure in sample exams or fear of the massive curriculum might deter even the most dedicated applicants — but with the ultimate goal successfully imprinted in the subconscious, one can remain unwavering in their effort and dedication to passing the NEET exam.
Letting go of the Putting-Off Mindset
A rigorous study requirement is mired by thoughts of putting things off for tomorrow — sometimes, the time at hand compels students to not be regular or cover only the bare minimum during any given day.
Whenever one sits down to study, he/she may not feel like studying. He/she may feel uninterested for the day. All of this delay compounds over time and has the ability to seriously delay your preparation. The fallacy that tomorrow will come for a particular task cannot be farther from the truth.
Consistency is Key
Some of the best mental coaches agree that it is not about intensity, but about consistency. Showing up every day is the single most important focus that one should have while preparing for the NEET examination.
This is also related to points 1 & 2 — just letting go of the mental traps due to laziness, feelings of delay, and procrastination can have disastrous long-term effects on your preparation — it can derail your effort.
Simply turning there and studying, even if you don’t care, will leave you feeling satisfied every day — you won’t be nervous or disturbed by any delays in your preparation schedule.
Heads Down, Ears Shut
No doubt the NEET is a competitive exam — in a competitive exam, there are competitors. Whenever there are competitors, students tend to gravitate into a habit of consistent effort towards talking about toppers, their peers who score well or constantly wasting innumerable hours to understand what their competition is up to.
The real winners don’t care about the competition — they create their own path, their own success mantra, and have a guiding framework of syllabus orientation, study schedule, and positive attitude.
The habit of consistently tracking peers will leave you exhausted and has the potential of seriously derailing you. Understand that:
- Your competitor is also appearing for the first time
- He/she has no extra knowledge
- They have equal access to course content
- They may be releasing false information to the peer group
Act like a real winner — keep your head down, block out the noise, and continue working as a champion with whom people crave for sharing their success mantra.
Smart Work
The childhood adage of “a Donkey works the hardest yet is paid the lowest” couldn’t be farther from the truth. Loading yourself up with the unnecessary content, syllabus, and noise about peer performance will leave you nowhere.
Added to it the vast NEET syllabus will only add to the preparation pressure. The study halls are brimming with content and tactics; choose the finest ones for you after consulting with your lecturers and trusted senior peers. Start with understanding past year’s papers, question patterns, key areas of test and evaluation, and time management strategies.
The focus should be on achieving results productively, rather than merely putting a tick in the box of course completion.
