If you
aspire to become a doctor, the National Eligibility and Entrance Test is the
gateway to get a seat in one of the best medical colleges in the country. Every
year lakhs of students take the entrance exam. The competition is getting
tougher as the number of candidates who strive to secure a seat increases every
year. You have to score well on the test and get a good rank to get into a top
medical college.
The exam
pattern remains the same as in previous years, with one mark deducted for every
wrong answer and four marks awarded for every right answer. You must be aware
of the exact marking scheme. This can reduce your chances of losing marks and
maintaining your rank.
Here are
some successful tips from KIMA on how to avoid negative marking in NEET 2022.

to the topic, Tips to avoid negative marking in NEET
Read
questions carefully
At Kings
International Medical Academy, we foster the habit of reading the question
thoroughly. It’s important to go through the question paper carefully at the
beginning of the exam. This is because you might find questions that are
similar to ones in previous years' exams, but there could be subtle differences
in the questions. So it’s important to read all the questions thoroughly before
starting the test.
Skip
Doubtful Questions
If a
question seems to be time taking and doubtful then leave it at first, and try
to come back to it after attempting the other questions. This way you will save
time and get more marks by attempting more questions instead of losing marks on
the negative marking on a doubtful question.
Mark
Only Correct Answers
There is
no negative marking for unattempted questions, so don’t attempt a question if
you are unsure of the answer. In case there is no time to review the questions,
mark a question that you think is correct.
Don’t
Be Overconfident!
It
is wise to not assume that you know the answer even if you think that one
option seems correct. For example, if you assume that option B looks like a
correct answer but you are not 100% sure, go ahead with another option rather
than attempting the wrong answer.
Avoid
answering the questions at the last minute.
Answering
questions at the last moment can also lead to negative marking. Therefore, do
not wait until the last moment and complete your paper in time to avoid
negative marking.
Practice
makes you perfect!
The best
way to avoid negative markings in the NEET exam, candidates should practice
mock tests. In the mock tests, they can know how many questions are to be
answered in the given time limit. However, the candidates should not attempt
all the questions. They should skip the doubtful questions and answer only
those in which they are confident.
Don’t
stress yourself!
Try
meditation or breathing exercises for 15 minutes every day for the next few
weeks before the test. Meditation helps calm your mind, improves concentration,
and helps with focus. This way you’ll be more ready to face any stressors that
come up on test day.
Take
away
These are
some tips from Kings International Medical Academy that helps you pass the
exam. You should think positively and never give up. Don't fall for tricks. Try
to answer questions you know well! Focus on your weaknesses and make sure
you're prepared for all possible questions. And of course, be sure to study all
the relevant material!
