💡 600+ STRATEGY
NEET 2026 Last-Minute Strategy — Score 600+ in 14 Days
🌿 Biology First — 50% of NEET!
- NCERT Biology word-for-word revise
- Diagrams = direct questions (Heart, Kidney, Brain)
- Human Physio + Genetics = 60 marks!
- PYQ Biology repeat rate: 40–50% per year
- Target 330+ in Bio for AIR <5000
⚠️ Negative Marking — CRITICAL
- Attempt only 80%+ confident questions
- Any doubt = skip immediately
- NEVER random guess in NEET
- Section B: most confident 10 of 15 only
- 4 wrong = lose 4 marks (= 1 correct wasted)
📅 14-Day PYQ Plan
- Days 1–4: Bio — Human Physio + Genetics + Ecology
- Days 5–6: Chemistry — Organic + Physical Chem
- Days 7–8: Physics — Mechanics + Electrostatics formulas
- Day 9–11: Full mock: NEET 2023 + 2024 papers (timed)
- Days 12–13: Weak area revision + formulae sheet
- Day 14 (May 2): Light only. REST WELL!
📅 Exam Day — May 3, 2026
- Arrive centre by 1:00 PM (1 hour early)
- Carry: Admit card + Original ID + Photo
- Exam 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM sharp
- Start with Biology (fastest, most familiar)
- Then Chemistry, then Physics
- Skip doubtful Qs — come back at end
