Still, how is it that a much lesser number manage to pass the exam with flying colours? There ought to be something that certain aspirants do differently than others. If taking up mock tests right is the cue, then how should one go about it?

Let’s find out below the strategies recommended by toppers and experts in regard to solving mock tests of NEET 2024 and getting the best out of it.

Solve previous years’ papers

Experts recommend that students solve papers from several previous question years of NEET (and AIPMT before it) but also likewise entrances such as AIIMS and JIPMER MBBS provided that the syllabus is similar to that of the one prescribed for NEET 2024. However, all other exam like AIIMS MBBS and JIPMER MBBS has been merged under the NEET. So, it is known to all that NEET 2024 is a single entrance exam for taking admission in a medical UG course.

“Take at least 15 mocks and previous 12 years’ papers before the final exam and follow them up with performance analysis”, says Mr Nagarajan. Tamoghna Ghosh, an AIIMS MBBS topper, on a similar note, added that “I solved past 30 years’ question papers to understand the pattern and question types. I used to take a lot of mock tests and got them thoroughly analyzed by mentors”.

Practice mock tests of different kinds

NEET Mock Tests 2024 can either be subject/topic or full-length. Aspirants must try and solve as many different types of mock tests for NEET 2024, as befitting their individual situations.

Specific questions pertaining to a subject or topic can be practised from NEET 2024 question banks to solidify one’s concept and develop expertise. Solving mocks subject-wise will help NEET 2024 aspirants ace every subject individually. While preparing for Physics, considered one of the more difficult subjects, this strategy especially proves to be fruitful. For NEET 2024 preparation, practising full-length mocks is also equally important. The benefits of practising mocks for NEET 2024 cannot be fully reaped until one focuses on full-length mock tests.

Performance evaluation

During the NEET preparation, the evaluation of performance after every mock test is the key factor that comes into play. It helps in the identification of errors and gives aspirants a chance to work on them.

The following aspects should be kept in mind while preparing for NEET 2024 using mock tests.

  • Time management

  • Negative marks being lost

  • Subject-wise performance

  • Analyzing weak and strong areas

Always beware of negative marking

On NEET 2024 exam day, authorities will not provide chances for trial and error. In NEET, for every wrong answer, candidates will lose one mark. Therefore, keep evaluating the performance in this context while solving mock tests, and try to limit the marks lost due to wrong answers.

Always time your attempts

As NEET is an offline exam, it is very crucial that aspirants attempt about 15-30 odd mock tests by simulating the exact exam day environment within the exact time frame allotted. This will ensure that candidates analyse so as to how much time to devote per question depending on its difficulty on the actual exam day.
