1. Knowing your weaker topics is the first step– How can you improve something if you don’t even know what you’re weak at? Thus, identifying the weaker topics and sub-topics is crucial for their elimination. If you’re already aware of your weak chapters/concepts, that’s great and you can make a note of it but honestly, the NEET syllabus is huge and the probability of anyone being aware of all their weak topics is very less. Here Darwin’s PrepDNA comes to the rescue. The color-coded grouping analytics feature assists you identify the subject, topics, and sub-topics that you are weak at and need to work on.
Begin at the left and work your way to the right on PrepDNA. To gauge the topics that need more focus, practice the topics you have never solved. These grey areas can be filled in by answering a few questions about each subject and observing the questions where you get stuck. Continue with the reds and oranges before moving on to the yellows and greens. Red and oranges show the areas of weakness and where you need more practice. Study the topic again and attempt a few more questions from the same topic after a few days. Simply click on the topic from the red or orange color and start practicing again. Create a habit to polish the topics you struggle with.
2. Clear your concepts to improve overall precision – NEET exam questions are designed to test your understanding of the concepts rather than just your ability to memorize and regurgitate information.
