What will be the paper level of NEET in 2021 ??
Hi
This is quite difficult to predict your Neet paper level or difficulty level of Neet examination paper but don't worry it will be more or less similar to previous years Neet question papers according to which your neet 2021 examination is expected to be of moderate level.
But yes,
whether you will find Neet examination easy or difficult depends upon your preparation level . If you prepare well for neet examination then you will find it easier otherwise if your level of preparation is not good then you are bound to find it difficult .
So I suggest you to prepare well for your Neet examination following the below tips so that you don't find the question paper difficult and can score good marks in your neet examination
*Go well through NCERT and master it .
*Make routine or timetable :- your routine should revolve around 3 things i.e study, revise and practice .
*After finishing each chapter you should practice questions, you should practise at least 80 to 100 numericals / mcqs in Each chapter .
*Solve previous year NEET questions.
*Once done with complete syllabus, go through NEET mock test papers
