 Rumors have swirled around the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET), with students getting a little confused about which ones are true and which ones are false. In this article, Kings International Medical Academy (KIMA) will dispel common myths that hold sway among NEET aspirants. 

Myth # 1 The key to cracking NEET is to have multiple resources!

One of the common myths that a lot of students believe in is that they should be studying from a variety of sources. They have the notion that the more materials they study, the better they will perform in the NEET. However, this is not true. The reason behind this misconception is that students often rush to look for other materials after finishing off their previous batch of notes. This results in two major problems. Firstly, with so many sources, it can be difficult for the students to focus on one particular concept at a time. Secondly, this will lead to a lot of confusion during the revision process. So to ace NEET, it’s not wise to have too many study materials. 

Myth #2 Long hours of study will help them ace NEET 

Several students get bogged down by the idea that they need to study for 10 hours a day to score well in NEET. As a result, they end up studying just for compliance sake. In reality, there is no hard and fast rule about how much time should be spent on preparing for NEET. However, it is important to understand that they are not going to get anywhere with investing just two hours of preparation. They must spend at least four to five hours daily to be able to achieve a decent score in NEET.

Myth # 3 Expensive books are the best

Another common myth about the NEET preparation is that expensive books are the best resources. The truth of the matter is, it’s not--at all! Several pricy books have lower quality of content compared to the more affordable books that are available in the market. Don’t fall into this trap. Make sure to read reviews online before selecting your resources and then when you’ve picked your choices, purchase those that would best suit your needs

Myth # 4 Solving the previous year's questions will help them ace the NEET

Many aspirants feel that solving too many test papers will make give them the advantage in making it to the NEET exam. Over the years of NEET’s existence, students have started to develop a habit of solving all the previous year's questions. While there’s truth and proofs to this strategy (one acquires a foreknowledge of the exam which the examinee can utilize during the actual test), it’s doesn’t guarantee the examinee of an absolute overview. Patterns and questions vary per NEET. In a nutshell, using the questions which came out the previous year isn’t much of a reliable study resource or material. Not to mention, cramming up your brain isn’t healthy. Just study smartly and solve the important questions. 

Myth # 5 By passing the board exams, they can also pass the NEET 

For any NEET aspirants, it is very important to have a 360-degree idea of the exam pattern and the syllabus. It is very easy to fall into the trap of fallacies while preparing for an exam of such esteemed reputation such as NEET. Some students feel that passing the board exams will automatically help them pass the NEET. But that’s not true because both of the exams are different in many ways, and so are their patterns and syllabus.

It can be difficult, to commit to a career calling that requires extensive training and a lifetime of learning, but it is also a deeply rewarding and fulfilling experience. Thus, doctors are expected to devote their entire time and energy to their patients so, medical students are expected to observe the same ethical standards.

All the best NEET aspirants!
