How to Score 150 in Chemistry for NEET 2024 with 3 Months Left

Less than 3 mins to read

Scoring 150 in chemistry, especially with only three months left, requires a strategic and disciplined approach. The key to success lies in a thorough understanding of all three sub-divisions of chemistry: physical, inorganic, and organic. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you achieve your target score.

Physical Chemistry

Physical chemistry forms the backbone of your chemistry preparation. To excel, you should be well-versed in the concepts covered in NCERT, supplemented by question-solving from coaching books. Here are some key areas to focus on:

Stock solution Cathode rays and their properties Canal rays and forces acting Important points (4 frequently asked questions in Aakash tests) Stark effect and Zeeman effect Distorted tetrahedron C2 containing both pi bonds Enthalpy of atomisation (same as enthalpy of sublimation for Na) Accuracy of pH paper sp2 and sp3 hybridisation, including diagonal hybridisation

While not all these points will appear in the exam, going through them once ensures you're well-prepared. After studying NCERT and solving exercises, you can attempt NTA accuracy tests based on Allen's Abhyas papers. For additional practice, messaging me on Telegram for specific questions can be beneficial.

Additionally, Parth Goyal's Chem Hack will provide the final touch to your preparation, ensuring you're fully equipped to tackle any question that comes your way.

Inorganic Chemistry

Inorganic chemistry can be mastered through daily revisions and short notes. Most points in NCERT can be condensed into 4-5 pages, which can be easily reviewed in 10 minutes. Regular reading and spaced revisions will help with retention. Focus on:

Multiple reads of NCERT (at least 5 times) Revising after every 2-3 weeks Creating pocket notes and mnemonics

Pay attention to exceptions, as inorganic chemistry is full of them. Avoid wasting time on internet or heavy books; focus on NCERT and supplementary notes for clarity.

Organic Chemistry

Organic chemistry is both fast to solve and tricky to master. Thoroughly understand each concept and the reaction mechanisms. NCERT is a must, and Allen's handouts can provide additional insights on concepts and previous years' questions (pyq). Following Parth Goyal's Chem Hack will ensure you're well-prepared. Practice is key:

Practice 70-100 questions per chapter Focus on understanding the reaction mechanisms and deriving formulas Tricky questions must not take more than 45 seconds

General Preparation Strategy

What You Must Know About the Subject

Chemistry requires a balance of factual knowledge and conceptual understanding. To crack the subject:

Do not miss any lectures Focus on physical and organic chemistry for speed, as they are easier with practice Incomplete chapters like biomolecules, polymers, chemistry in everyday life, and environmental chemistry can yield 4-6 questions each year

How It’s Done

To improve your score:

Revise lecture notes Solve coaching modules Use standard books like N Awasthi (for physical chemistry) and M S Chauhan (for organic chemistry) Only one book for inorganic, NCERT, and follow the tips provided in the related answer for inorganic memorisation Avoid piling up doubts and get them cleared by faculty Understand physical and organic chemistry to derive formulas and guess reaction mechanisms Recognise that inorganic requires memorisation of exceptions

How Much Hours a Day to Study

To balance preparation:

Spend less time on physics and more on chemistry Allocate sufficient time to cover inorganic chemistry comprehensively

What to Solve

Here's what I recommend for effective preparation:

Physical and Organic Chemistry

Revise lecture notes first Solve coaching modules next Use standard books like N Awasthi and M S Chauhan Also read NCERT for organic and states of matter, surface chemistry for physical chemistry Previous year NEET/AIIMS/JEE questions for practice Solve mock tests for better evaluation

Inorganic Chemistry

Read NCERT more than 5 times Use coaching notes for additional insights Revise in text and back questions of NCERT Use coaching modules for more questions Practice previous year NEET/JEE/AIIMS questions Solve mock tests often

Additional Tips

Remember to read biomolecules, polymers, chemistry in everyday life, and environmental chemistry for at least twice a month leading up to NEET. Solve mock tests to improve speed, especially in chemistry, which should take less than an hour.

Conclusion

With the right approach and regular practice, you can significantly improve your chemistry score. Stay focused, clear your doubts, and make efficient use of your time. Best of luck!
