Divide questions as per efficiency
After completing the previous year’s neet papers, take a sheet and divide it into three rows.
- In the first row, write a question number and the concepts involved in it that you got wrong. Mark them as weak for the time being.
- In the second row, write concepts involved in questions that you answered correctly but were confused by options or experienced difficulty with, and mark them as intermediate.
- On the third side, mark as strong any concepts that you understood in one reading or that did not confuse you. Repeat for each practice paper.
Begin learning concepts based on the analysis. Master the weakest concepts first, then the intermediate and strong concepts later.
Find silly mistakes and work on them.
Several neet aspirants make silly mistakes such as filling the wrong option in the OMR, not filling that answer in the OMR, not reading “not” in the question, especially in biology, or taking the wrong number while solving questions, and so on.
So, you’ve made a sheet; now, go through the wrong questions in the weak section to see if the question is inaccurate due to silly mistakes, and write the question number and the mistake you made on the backside of the sheet.
Make sure you don’t make the same mistake again in your following paper.
Work on Time Management
Always wear a watch when working on previous year’s papers. Although you will have three hours to complete the paper in the mains exam, always try to finish the question practice paper 15-30 minutes before the actual exam.
So, once you’ve finished the paper, keep track of how much time you spent answering questions and filling out OMR. Also, try to finish your following paper before the last one. If you do this in each practice test, you will stress your brain to work faster, and you will not feel as much pressure to solve questions quickly in your actual NEET paper, despite being under high pressure.
Don’t get demotivated
Many students become demotivated if they do not receive high marks on previous year papers. These papers, on the other hand, are only for identifying and improving your weak points. So, even if you feel demotivated, think to yourself, “I will work on each of my weak areas and get more marks in the next paper, and I will not make the same mistake next time,” and your performance graph will begin to turn positive.

Finally, this is the strategy for analyzing every previous year’s paper, sample paper, or mock test. If you follow these steps honestly, your performance in the actual exam will undoubtedly improve. This strategy will assist you in identifying your weak points and working on them, as well as in time management, determining the best plan for you, and avoiding silly mistakes.
