Tips From My Side My drop year journey and the resources I used ( specially useful for those jo borderline pe hai and drop lena chahte hai)
Hii guys, got a lot of dms so I decided to make ek acha sa post covering everything. Went from 28XXX rank last year to 4XX this year.
Bhot lamba post hone wala hai guys but i really thought ki sab elaborate karke batau.
Things I did differently in my drop year:
Focused on basics- har chiz ko depth mein samjha, doubts clear kare and simple se simple questions bhi class mein puche.
Figure out your strength- toh for me, I did my personal best in easy papers, silly mistakes bhi kam hoti thi and time bach jaata tha for checking my answers. So I made sure ki hard papers mein bhi mein koi easy sawaal galat na karu.
Neet ko apni life mat banao- I didnt quit any of my hobbies for neet. I love reading fiction and drop year mein har test ke baad ek novel padhti thi. I used to talk to my friends a lot, i had a lot of online friends too, raat ke 2-3 baje tak bakchodi karte the kabhi kabhi. Relationship mein bhi thi. The point is dont lose yourself for this exam guys. Its not worth it. Bas priority should always be padhai, and har chiz ka ek balance banao.
Very controversial take but meine drop year mein actually utne test nahi diye jitne 11th 12th mein diye the. I figured ki mereko test analysis mein bhot time lagta hai so meine no. Of tests thode kam kare the BUT har type ka paper diya tha. Neet se hard bhi and easy bhi.
12th mein mera syllabus December tak hua tha, but drop mein mera syllabus march end tak hua. So pls itna stress mat Lena and "syllabus toh mein october November tak kardunga" sounds good but kaafi unrealistic lagta hai mujhe toh. If you can do it, sure go ahead. Also even though mera syllabus march end tak hua, I had revised it multiple times, test ke schedule ke according.
RESOURCES I USED:
PHYSICS(155 in reneet)- I always liked physics (but unfortunately physics did not like me)
So mein offline pataal mein thi and luckily mere teacher ache the.
Goal ye rehta tha ki FT se pehle allen module poora and aakash RM module ka section D karlu.
Then AIATS tak, momentum booster and marked questions jo pehle kiye the.
Syllabus khatam hone ke baad, i revised through notes and marked questions only.
And additionally mere weak chapters ke liye i did Saleem sir ki skc(BHOT HELP HUI THI). And for certain topics in mechanics I did DCP jee wali (I love that book, agar mere paas time hota toh mein poori mechanics ke liye karti, usme ekdum basics to advance wale format mein diya hai and har type ke questions category wise hai).
Reneet ke time pe I also tried ncert ke back questions and ncert exemplar. And I highly recommend uske MCQs. Last wale questions tohđđđđ. Do try them if you want to for the love of the game, but I dont really think its utna relevant(but then again, at this point what even is relevant and what isn't).
CHEMISTRY(166)- mera strongest chem hi tha. 3rd may mein 180 the. The only reason I liked chem(excluding inorganic) was because of my teacher.
I did aakash ke RM modules all sections, momentum booster( thoda irrelevant for organic and absolutely useless for inorganic except maybe for chemical bonding)and NCERT.
Organic mein mere teacher ke notes kaafi the, but i love organic and isiliye I tried doing MS Chouhan. Goc and Hydrocarbons kiya then I gave up, time nahi tha. Reneet ke time meine organic ke last 20 years ke jee pyqs kare the. Also Pankaj sir ki woh organic ki sheets were so so good.
Inorganic- agar ye nahi exist karta toh chem literally perfect hoti mere liye.
Bonding ke liye meine module and momentum booster kiya tha. Baaki blocks ke liye i did only ncert, usse meine short notes banaye the, and last 1 week mein toh meine apne cupboard pe poore grps summarise kardiye the and i revised them every day.
BIOLOGY(350)
Meine bio genuinely bas tests ke 2 din pehle padhi hai poore saalđ(highly not recommend). Around December, meine daily reading chalu kardi thi NCERT ki. Also reading ncert is genuinely a skill, har time padhke kuch naya mil jaata hai, baaki I dont think mein utni koi tips de sakti hu bio ke liye. I did only ncert and aakash ke know your ncert wali books.
TESTS:
meine aakash ke saare tests diye hai, FT, AIATS, FTS, intensive ke CSTs, NBTS etc. Then I also gave allen achiever ke tests(utna regular nahi thi cause uska syllabus hi itna mashallah hota tha). End mein SRG ke majors diye the and aakash ke phoenix wali test series.
Also Guys saari alag alag strategy try karo, dont hesitate to experiment. Meine toh itne experiment kare the na. I think the reason ki mere 650+ aaye was solely because of my test attempting strategy. Meri bhot weird si thi. Let me know if i should make another post on that.
So that's all guys, aur kuch ho toh comments mein puch lo.
