To recommend the best possible way to utilize Pre-PG app, you should first know the biggest mistakes that doctors make while preparing for NEET PG. Note that this advice is for average students trying to get to the top 5000 ranks.
THE BIGGEST MISTAKES
- You don’t consider your weakness in deciding what to study. You typically study by subject, dedicating a fixed amount of time for each subject. You quickly go through all the questions available on the subject and move on to the next subject. As a result, you have put equal effort into each topic and concept in the subject. You might have improved a bit, but not good enough to get to the top ranks. Time is your most precious resource, and you have not been smart about investing it.
The successful doctors always focus on their weak topics first and don’t move on until they have improved.
- You get too many simple questions wrong. You obsess over the controversial questions, researching the answers on the internet and discussing them on Whatsapp groups. Meanwhile, even though you know that the “Prometric Era” when difficult questions got rewarded higher is OVER, you are still not asking yourself why you are getting simple questions wrong and not doing anything to fix this problem.
The successful doctors recognize that nearly everyone gets simple questions right and getting them wrong will cost them their rank.
- You don’t practice enough MCQs. You spend most of your time reading notes. You restrict your MCQ practice to taking the Pre-PG daily test or other test series. Even when you take these daily test series, you don’t focus on analyzing the results and questions you got wrong. You are happy when you do better and sad when you don’t, not realizing that is just regression of luck — you are not improving.
The successful doctors know that you have to learn the process of eliminating wrong answers, and the only way you can do that is by practicing MCQs and analyzing your mistakes.
- You do not revise regularly. You keep going through tests and questions without reviewing things you got wrong. Often you memorize the answer without considering why you got the answer wrong in the first place.
The successful doctors realize that improvement comes from understanding why you make mistakes and revising things you got wrong at regular intervals.
