The real struggle of the students starts after the class 12 board examination results. Here students have to look for a career that will make their future secure. One one the important career options is choosing the medical field. To enter this field option, students must crack the NEET examination.
NEET exam consists of three different sections, i.e Physics, chemistry, and Biology.
All three sections carry equal importance. Here in this article, we will discuss NEET Chemistry preparation.

Tips to prepare for NEET Chemistry
Following are the tips to effectively crack this section. Chemistry is one of the easiest sections. If practiced thoroughly then it will be one of the easiest to crack.
Following are the tips to crack the chemistry section
- The first step is making the proper schedule. Divide the entire syllabus into small sections. It will be easy to understand and learn.
- Always begin with NCERT first. Study thoroughly the NCERT books. Most of the questions asked are from NCERT only. One should understand the basic book NCERT first. After the base is cleared students can practice more questions from the reference books.
- Keep calm and relaxed. Do not load your mind with excessive pressure and tensions. By doing do one will disturb their daily routine. The human body cannot work continuously. It needs a break in between.
- Eat a healthy and balanced diet. One should always nourish their body with a properly balanced diet. Without proper diet and good eating habits, the body will not function in the right direction.
- Practice chemical reactions, nomenclature, the periodic table, etc nicely. Most of the questions asked are from these sections.
- Students should practice class 11 and class 12 syllabus separately. Do not mix both the year syllabus.
- Refer to NEET Chemistry Important Questions PDF.
- In case of any doubts always seek help from mentors or teachers. One can also take help from the reference books if required. Never leave the doubts for the end moment.
- Solve previous years’ question papers. By doing so students will be able to understand the type and pattern of the question asked.
- One should watch various educational lectures. This will help them to understand the concepts easily. Today various online platforms are available where students can excel their knowledge.
- Students can also study in groups. This will help them to understand the concepts fast.
- Always revise the course from time to time. Revising helps to recall the previous learned chapters easily.
- Never skip meals. One should always load themselves with proper nutrition. Have proper sleep. If one will not follow then it will lead to various eyes troubles, headaches, weakness, drowsiness, etc.
- Never do long sitting hours study. Give body and mind time to relax.
Conclusion
From the NEET point of view, Chemistry is one of the easiest subjects. It requires quite less time for preparation. It is most scoring out of the other two. Always try to understand the base of the chapters. Timely attend the classes, do proper revision, study well, solve the previous year’s question paper. If students work hard then nothing can stop them from gaining success. NEET is one of those examinations which requires proper concentration right from the beginning. Stay focused and set your goals
