Recall Questions You Attempted
Look at the memory-based questions and determine the questions you recall having attempted in the exam. This will help you determine how well you performed on the paper.
Cross-Check Your Answers
Compare your answers with the answers given in the NORCET 11 question paper PDF and tick off questions where you have different answers than what is given.
Determine Topics You Have to Study More
This is not a question-specific step. For instance, when you see a question regarding Addisonian crisis, study adrenal insufficiency, cortisol, aldosterone, sodium and potassium disturbances.
Prepare for NORCET 11 Stage 2 Using the Question Paper
Candidates who are successful in Stage 1 must start focusing on NORCET 11 Stage 2. The memory-based question paper will help you know the areas you have to concentrate on in Stage 2.
The official AIIMS NORCET 11 answer key and candidates’ responses should be verified on the official AIIMS exam portal. The memory-based answers that can be found after the exam is over are unverified, and there might be mistakes in them.
Therefore, candidates must use the NORCET 11 question paper with answers only to make a preliminary analysis of their performance and have to wait for the official answer key before coming to a conclusion about their results.
