Revision Strategy for NEET MDS
You may have spent hours, days, and months preparing for the NEET MDS exam. But all those long hours of study would only be effective when you can carry out several phases of multiple revisions.
The NEET MDS exam period is always stressful, and therefore, it is best to be prepared. Before entering the exam hall, you must feel confident to take on any challenge.
The first stage towards this confidence is to develop crucial revision strategies to improve NEET MDS preparation through:
- Revision Planning
- Applying revision strategies and techniques to become a PRO at revision
- Making sure you are geared up for the Final Day.
Take a look at our informative article on the different aspects of NEET MDS revision strategies and how you can apply them.
Revision Planning
It would be best if you created a REALISTIC PLAN for your revision.
For instance, some students create a timetable to complete the entire syllabus of Dental Anatomy in a week! That’s just not feasible.
Don’t make a plan where you are reading 16-18 hours a day, trying to cram multiple NEET MDS exam topics, only to realize that it wasn’t possible in the first place! The whole process will make you more nervous.
You need to build a clear picture of the topics you would be revising and areas where you feel less confident. NEET MDS Syllabus is divided into 17 topics; you can further divide them into sub-topics. For this purpose, it is useful to create a revision timetable that will help you to manage your time.
You can start by following these planning strategies:
Choose what to revise.
What you choose to revise will depend on your subject, the type of topics, and how much time you have left for revision. Unfortunately, there’s no miracle number for how many hours you should study, but we advise that you to revise for at least 10-12 hours a day, two months before the NEET MDS exam.
REMEMBER, THE EARLIER YOU START YOUR REVISION, THE MORE PREPARED YOU WILL BE.
Here are some guidance points you might consider:
- Make a list of the topics asked in the Dental PG MDS exam, and what can you realistically revise in that time.
- Analyze the topics which you have covered in more depth.
- Identify the topics where you require improvement.
- Identify and revise key fundamentals/concepts/theories.

Plan your revision timetable
Making a realistic timetable and managing your time is crucial to NEET MDS success. You may want to put in as many hours as possible in the weeks leading up to your exams, but with too many study hours a day, you may struggle to focus.
Create a detailed revision timetable for NEET MDS, considering the time you have left for the exam, and your strengths and weaknesses. Start by setting up a daily goal. For example, if you want to complete DMS in four days, write the number of hours you would put in the day and the sub-topics you would study.
While deciding on some topics, most students can either be overconfident or too lax. They either put in too much effort or no effort on some topics.
