Mistakes that you should avoid during NEET preparations

When I was in class 11th, I made a lot of mistakes. And if I had not corrected those mistakes in class twelve, I would probably not get selected into a government medical college. In this blog, I'll be sharing with you all the different mistakes which I did and with some of my friends did, which I learned from, and hopefully you can avoid them in the future. So whether you are in class 9th or last 12th, and if you are aiming for need, that makes your need aspirin so in some way that this blog might apply to you anyways, without further, let's the first mistake is actually very critical.

So the thing is solving questions. So solving questions is something which you have to do for any competitive examination. No matter how much you study. If you don't solve questions, there is no point in your studies because you don't know how to use your knowledge. You don't know what questions are going to be asking from your knowledge.

And when I was in second year, I was genuinely a little bit afraid that I might not score good. So I was avoiding questions just because of the fear that I might not score good. And that was one of the things which I also did in class 11th, which I corrected later on. So the daily objective which any retirement should have in his mind, especially if you're in class eleven, 12th, is that you should be solving anywhere from 150 to 300 questions per day. That would be a mixture of both chemistry, physics and biology.

No matter how bad you are at the topic, no matter how good you are at the topic, the questions which are there will tell you are your reality. And sometimes it might happen that the thing which you are afraid of might be the easiest topic that you have to do in the question. But secondly, don't be afraid of solving questions. They are literally the key to the door that is called as any competitive examination.

Now, my second one is a little bit more complicated to explain, but there was a girl in class 9th and class 10th, the same girl, of course. She was very intelligent and she was very pretty and I had a crush on her. I genuinely had a crush on her. And the thing was, when 10th, the third part of 10th happened, we kind of broke up and it just pains my heart even now. But we are good friends.

Now. The thing is that that breakup actually left a really big dent on my heart and somehow I felt like I needed to prove the world I was capable I was good enough so that in a way I could impress her okay. You broke up with me but still I have achieved something in life now that I've looked back upon it that was a very wrong ideology because you have to accept with what you are born with and you have to improve not because you want to be somebody else. You want to impress somebody but because you want to achieve your own personal dreams. First of all, if you are a need aspirant don't get into any sort of relationship because that is going to eat away some part of your time as well as some part of your mental stability and secondly, if you have just broken up with your school crush don't study to prove a point study because you want to achieve your dream.

So this was something which was genuinely a factor in class 11th but in class 12th I just gave everything up and it was all because I wanted to achieve something right? The next thing is pretty easy, pretty common so I see a lot of people asking me how did you crack meat or how did you study physics, how did you study chemistry? What is the resources used for? Allergies I do guide them most of the time but the thing is it does not mean that whatever I am telling you is the literal best thing that's going to work for you it's not absolute. It's not like if you have asthma and I'll give you turbulence so your estimate will go away it's not that exact so just like that every single student has a book which fits that particular student I was the one person who loved reading at Sivarma and GRB together so I did that and I suggested the same to many people but many people didn't like it so the thing is if you are blindly following a senior.

Especially the seniors on YouTube. Including me. Of course it might happen that whatever I'm saying that might not be the best fit for you so you have to realize the fact that there are things which one person is going to tell you. Recommend to you and there's going to be a thing which you are going to be suitable for so bridge this gap and find something in between which works for you but also gives you the best results so make sure that you are not following into the trap of blindly following seniors on YouTube or your life etc. But you have to decide for yourself what is good for you.

What is bad for you of course by taking suggestion and reviews from the people you love and the people who have gone through the same phase as you have the same thing applies to many of the study techniques I see a lot of YouTubers making videos on activity call and space repetition which is a beautiful thing in itself and it is helping me a lot right now. But the thing is, if it doesn't apply to you, it just doesn't. And there is no pressure on you to just blindly follow all of these techniques, follow the things which work for you the best, right? So the next story comes from class eleven standard of Anush Patel just giving the test in his classroom. And we had this All India test series, right?

So of course, whenever you are in a coaching institute and there are all of these grand tests of All India Testeries, you start to see yourself in a competition with your fellow batchmates. And that is the point where it gets really difficult for you mentally as well as difficult for you physically to prepare for that particular sort of competition. But it's also necessary. So the thing is, in my class, there were a few people who are scoring so much higher than what I was going. If I was in rank 800 or so out of like 50,000 people, they were scoring somewhere between 100 or 150 or 200, 300.

So I used to feel like, okay, I have to bridge this much competition just because I want to get ahead of XYZ and I want to be better than this guy or better than that guy. So my goal here was not that I wanted to become better, it was because I wanted to become better than XYZ. The reality is, I realized it like way later in class twelve. And then I thought to myself, okay, my friends, this XYZ person is not my competition. This ABC person is not my competition.

I am my own competition. Now, the thing is, once you are in that mindset that you are your own competition, your results start to genuinely, physically improve. So there's a real story. I was in scoring between the ranks of 500 to 600 in All India Test Series, which is conducted Pan India. It was a big coaching institute, which I was a part of, and my scores started increasing day by day.

So initially I was between 506 hundred and gradually at the end of the test series, I was scoring somewhere between 50 to I guess my best rank was 67. So I went from the guy who scored 800 something rank in the day one all the way to rank 67 in the last test of the Test Series, out of around 30 to 50,000 people, approximately. And that all happened with my preparation, of course, that I changed my mindset from being better than XYZ to being better than myself. And that's a big change if you stop looking at the people who are ahead of you and think of just about yourself. Okay, managing 15 questions how do I improve myself and become better?

So that the next time these 15 questions come to me, I don't make a single mistake. So this is a mindset. Once you start getting that into your brain, your life will change. And of course, you have to continue a preparation with that. Because just because you have a mindset, that does not mean you will succeed in that particular thing.

You also have to put in the amount of work, put in the hours. We stay hungry, we devour. Anyway, that's my basic point, right? So the next one might not apply to you because it is something which I don't feel like people are doing enough. So the thing is, I see a lot of students who just directly aim for all the rank funds.

And that's a beautiful thing because that's the absolute ultimate goal for any single examination. I also see this other subset of population who just thinks and they set low goals for themselves. If you set your goal for 615, you're going to end up at 625. If you set it for 690, you're going to end up at 670. So that's the way it works.

If you set your goals reasonably higher, then you score just slightly lower than what you want it to be, because there's a dragon which is trapped inside you. For my friends, like, every aspirant who is watching this video, there's literally like a fire breathing dragon which is trapped inside you. All you have to do to unleash it is to change your mindset and start working hard. And as well as that, believing in yourself, but also setting up goals higher so that that dragon which is inside feels achieved. And by the time that dragon reaches over there, he will reach somewhere very near to that goal up or down.

So make sure that your goals are reasonably higher than what you are you're not trying to achieve. Right? So my next point is something related to tests. There's one strategy that I want you to follow, which I've never talked about this before on the channel, but it's very simple. Let's say that you have five chapters in your textbook and you want to make these five chapters the best five chapters that you're going to prepare for.

So what you have to do is that read, revise and solve the question mark of these five chapters. And then week one, focus on chapter number one. Week two, focus on chapter two and so on. So in each single week, you are just compacting and packing that chapter into one single test. So make sure that you have a test aligned of at least 50 or 100 questions that you're going to give at the end of week one, after studying the chapter and solving the question bank for one particular week.

So each week of your life, you're going to finish off one chapter. This way, whenever a question comes from that part, I know Jaya, because I have done the hard work. Okay, number seven. This is the most important point in my entire video. And nobody talks about this on YouTube, on any platform.

So if you're studying for hate, you will feel a sort of mental pressure. It will be like an axe which is hanging above your neck. So at any given point, you will feel like you're going to die. The thing is, this pressure is the pressure of selection. And there will be some days where we will question your preparation.

You will question, Kiara, it's not the right, my score is not improving. And at that point, you have to realize that this phase will also pass on. You have to be confident on yourself and you have to maintain your own mental sanity. So my point number seven is to take care of your mind. You have to stay mentally strong during the preparation.

They're going to be days which are going to be full of darkness. You might lose a loved one during these two years of preparation or even after that. There might be financial instability, but it is in your house. There might be friends who might not speak to you. You might be in a relationship and you might have a break up.
