Preparing for NEET Exams: Journeys and Lessons Learned
The journey to the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) is often grueling, filled with challenges and hard work. This article delves into the experiences of two aspiring medical students, highlighting the importance of consistent preparation and the impact of exams on their lives.
Experiences of a NEET Participant Post-Board Exams 2019
My CBSE Class 12 exams in 2019 were far behind me, but I was still preparing for my first-year MBBS exam at MUHS. Recently, I returned to my study notes and the NCERT books after a two-year break to get ready for the board exams. I pushed through by reducing my sleep and dedicating countless hours to hard work. The results, while satisfactory, brought a wave of mixed emotions.
The exam grade was 86, which fell short of my expectations. My father and I were not elated, but my mother remained optimistic. Even though I made a numbering mistake in my physics paper, I struggled with chemistry as well. Reflecting on the journey, I urge juniors to focus on their studies and practice consistent hard work. Without it, success can be elusive, as I am now experiencing.
Unexpected Results: A Tale of Relief and Triumph
Suddenly, on a peaceful Sunday, my friend informed me that the NEET results were out. The suspense was almost unbearable! I checked Google for confirmation and, much to my surprise, the results were there. My mother was in the kitchen, and I could not resist the temptation of seeing my marks directly. My mom is now proud and happy.
I had prayed for good results and was prepared for the worst. To my disbelief, the percentage was 94. Initially, I did not believe it, thinking it must be a mistake. Yet, the reality was irrefutable. My consistent hard work over the year proved fruitful. Even if my physics performance was subpar due to unforeseen issues, the overall aggregate was exceptional. A lesson learned is the value of steady preparation and the impact of results on self-perception and parental pride.
A Fresh Approach: Preparing for NEET with Diligence
Another aspiring medical student, who did not study seriously throughout the year, later regretted it as their school exams suffered. Consequently, they embarked on a rigorous study regimen in January, hoping to secure a score between 80-85. Their physics scores were less impressive, but the rest of the subjects, especially biology, performed well.
Data shows that steady preparation rather than a last-minute flurry often leads to better outcomes. It is important for every NEET aspirant to maintain a consistent study schedule, manage stress, and focus on core subjects. Success in NEET is about much more than just the exam; it is about the journey and personal growth.
Therefore, whether you are planning for your NEET or any other board exams, remember that consistent hard work and dedication are key to success. Stay focused, stay motivated, and embrace every step of your preparation. Good luck to all aspiring medical students!
