NEET 2020: Five Common Preparation Mistakes that Bring Your Score Down - “When you make a mistake, there are only three things you should ever do about it: admit it, learn from it, and don’t repeat it.” a beautiful quote by Paul Bear Bryant. Candidates might make some NEET common mistakes but working on that or avoiding mistakes can lead to a better score. There are millions of students across the country who prepare to crack the NEET exam but out of that millions, only a few students make it to clear the exam for granting admission to around 1,63,150 MBBS/BDS/AYUSH/BVSc&AH seats. The reason is not like that the aspirants who do not qualify the NEET entrance exam, do not study well or give their all-time in preparation, nor is it like they are not serious about the exam. The fact is NEET 2020 is a single medical entrance test for undergraduate courses which makes it one of the most competitive exams of the nation. Seeing the level of the exam, it requires a proper NEET 2020 preparation strategy. During the preparation of NEET 2020, there are some common mistakes that students do, and that costs the score level down, despites of better preparation. Candidates are advised to read the article on “ NEET 2020: Five Common Preparation Mistakes that Bring Your Score Down” to be aware of the mistakes and avoid doing any of them.

5 Mistakes to avoid while preparing for NEET 2020
Aspirants can go through the below-mentioned points that one should inculcate during the preparation in order to assure high score in the upcoming NEET 2020 examination:
Preparing without schedule
“A plan is what, a schedule is when. It takes both a plan and a schedule to get things done.” a quote by Peter Turla. Candidates preparing for NEET without a proper schedule might land themselves into lots of confusion in the end and even their hard work will not give any result. Candidates are advised to prepare a daily routine for NEET 2020 preparation as per their convenience. As every candidate has their different time in which they know they can prepare well. So, candidates have to prepare the NEET 2020 timetable according to that. Candidates also know about their weaker and stronger points for the NEET exam. So, candidates have to work more on the weaker section and have to plan accordingly. It must be noted by candidates that they should not leave any portion of NEET syllabus 2020.
Working harder than working smart
Sometimes hard work does not pay but the smart work does as there are students who have a misconception that by devoting a certain number of hours in the preparation can help them to crack the NEET 2020 exam. Yes, it is right for getting success or having a better result. The efforts are important, but knowing where to make efforts makes all the difference. There will be situations or times when students sit still in front of books for hours and hours but do not gain much because of the lackness of concentration or attention. Candidates should not work harder by targeting a specific number of hours for NEET preparation. They should act smartly by targeting a specific number of topics or chapters. Especially during the last month of NEET 2020 preparation, the change in the score will be made by the smart work of the NEET aspirants.
Ignoring NCERT and jumping over lots of books
The primary step a medical aspirant makes during the preparation is searching for the best books for NEET 2020. By taking some anonymous advice, most of the aspirants end up buying lots of reference books, neglecting the NCERT books for NEET 2020 preparation. Ignoring the NCERT book and focussing more on the reference book is one of the most common mistakes students make during the NEET preparation. In order to score good marks NCERT books should be prioritized first for preparation of NEET 2020. After evaluating the previous year NEET question papers, experts advise that in the medical entrance test more than 95% of questions are based on the NCERT concept. So, one cannot secure a decent score without adding NCERT books as a tool for their NEET 2020 preparation. A common problem in aspiring candidates of NEET is switching from one book to another. Doing this might lead candidates in lots of confusion.
Not doing a proper self-analysis
Self-analysis is the most powerful way of getting answers for all confusion and the improvement begins with the self-analysis. There are many students during the NEET 2020 preparation who escape the phase of self-analysis in the race of knowing more and more. Candidates should note that without being aware of their preparation analysis, they can't score in the NEET result. So aspirants have to avoid this facet of preparation of NEET 2020 to score well in the exam. To cope up with these candidates are advised to practice the questions from the NEET 2020 sample paper, question papers, or opting for various mock tests for the exam. By practicing the question candidates easily have the NEET preparation analysis of the area in which they have to work more and in which portion they have their grip.
Not taking care of health and hygiene
Sometimes the students’ with more dedication and enthusiasm or fear of the NEET 2020, study for hours and hours and forget that their body & brain needs some rest. In Fact, there are aspirants who even don’t care about health and hygiene, which are the most ignored but more important mistakes which aspirants make during NEET 2020 preparation and this should be avoided. This duty is not only for the students but parents also to know how to keep aspirants healthy during the NEET preparation. Without proper health one cannot be able to secure a good rank and even appear for NEET 2020. So candidates should take a little break during the NEET 2020 preparation hours, do some physical exercise and even a small meditation can boost up the concentration level.

Hey!
As per the eligibilty criteria for NEET 2021 for SC category, candidate must have atleast 40% in 10+2 with PCB. So, you are eligible to write NEET 2021 exam but you need to work hard and score good marks in NEET so as to grab a good medical college in India. To know more, visit here:

Thankyou
Doneet counseling required high intermediate or 12th percentage to give admission in medical Collegemy pcb 44.7 inter 53%can get mbbs to admission in medical College by neet counseling in neet exam with 550above how do neet counseling done and how much inter percentage required for neet counselling
No, you don't need high percentage in your 12th to be eligible for neet counselling.
You just need to be eligible for neet examination with percentage in pcb i. e you should have passed 12th board examination with physics, chemistry ,biology/biotechnology and English and must have got at least 50 % in aggregate of PCB i.e Physics, Chemistry and Biology /biotechnology in 12th examination if belongs to general category , or at least 40% in aggregate of PCB if belongs to Obc/ Sc /stcategory.
Now,
Your aggregate in Physics, Chemistry and Biology/Biotechnology is
= 44 . 7 % i.e lesser than 50% , but more than 40 % so you are not eligible for Neet if you belong to general category but if you belong to OBC/ SC or St category then yes you are eligible for Neet examination.
From your previous question that I answered, I know you are from obc category. So, don't worry with 44.7 % in pcb you are eligible for neet and neet counselling too and after qualifying Neet examination you can get admission in Medical Colleges on the basis of rank or marks obtained by you in NEET
Your profile suggests that your domicile state is AP.
So, to give you example for eligibility for neet counselling, below is the eligibility criteria for AP neet counselling:-
* must be 10+2 or its equivalent passed with PCB i. e Physics, Chemistry, Biology (Botany, Zoology)/Biotechnology and English
* Percentage requirement in PCB for different categories in 12th:-
-)OC - 50% marks
-)BC/SC/ST - 40%
-)OC PH - 45%
*Age :- should be 17 years by December of the year of admission i. e 31st December 2021 in case if you are going to appear in neet 2021
* Must have qualified neet exam. Qualifying cut off for different categories is :-
-)OC- 50th Percentile in neet ug
-)BC- 40th Percentile in NEET ug
-)SC/ST - 40th Percentile in neet ug
-)OC PH - 40th Percentile in neet UG
You can check the same at official website of Dr NTR UNIVERSITY of health Sciences which conducts AP neet counselling , the link is provided below :-
http://ntruhs.ap.nic.in/Admissions/index.html
And yes you have chances to get a seat with 550 marks.
For example,
in neet 2019, 449 marks for obc category was the cut off marks to get a seat in government medical college under under AP state quota AU region and it was for Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, Srikakulam
I hope that I was able to clear all your doubts.
Thank you

There are also chances that your neet 2021 might be delayed due to covid. Also, now that CBSE board examination are going to start from 4th May chances of Neet examination to be delayed has increased , but this cannot be said with surety , so for now we need to wait for the notification from NTA regarding the same
