How do you strike a balance between theory and MCQs in your NEET Exam?
Tips for balancing theory and MCQs:
Concentrate on theory for precision and MCQs for speed
Accuracy and speed are the two most significant requirements for scoring well in NEET. Accuracy comes from a solid theoretical foundation, whereas speed emerges from practice. For NEET, you must complete both theory and MCQs.
Don’t hurry through the MCQs without first studying the theory
You would be unable to solve NEET MCQs if you do not read the theory thoroughly and rush to answer questions. Post that, practice MCQs to ensure you have a firm understanding of the fundamentals.
After understanding the theory, practice MCQs in all forms
Once you’ve understood the theory, you’ll need to put it into practice to see how well you’ve learned everything. Practice MCQs in all possible permutations to answer as many questions as possible in a limited amount of time.
Never overlook the theory section when attempting to answer as many questions as possible
To get a good grade on the NEET exam, you must answer all of the questions properly. However, it is not possible to achieve this by focusing solely on MCQs and ignoring the theory. For NEET Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, you should never neglect the theory and practice MCQs as much as possible.
To maintain theoretical information, answer questions every day
Assume your teacher has finished a topic or chapter, and you are reading the theory for the first time. To maintain the principle, you must practice questions on a daily basis, not just once.
If you’re having trouble answering questions, go back and revisit the theory and applications
If you’re having trouble answering problems, go back over the theory of the questions in which you made mistakes and try again. While you’re doing it, go over the examples as well, as they’ll help you understand how to apply the theory.
To discover the theory that has to be revised, answer some random questions
Pick random problems for revision because they will assist you to figure out which theory section you need to concentrate on rather than memorizing the entire chapter.
