1. Accepting Weaknesses

Accepting Weaknesses

Rahul began his journey by honestly assessing where he lacked — not just in chapters, but in mindset, revision habits, and exam temperament.

Tip: Start your comeback by identifying weak areas and being brutally honest with yourself.

2. Strategic Time Allocation

Time Management

He divided his day into fixed slots — mornings for Biology, noon for Chemistry, evenings for Physics, and night for revision or mock attempts.

Tip: Have subject-wise focused sessions instead of scattered study hours.

3. Rebuilding NCERT Foundation

NCERT Focus

He restarted Biology and Chemistry directly from NCERT, underlining, highlighting, and making short notes for revision.

Tip: Don’t skip NCERT lines — especially diagrams, in-text, and highlighted points.

4. Daily Question Practice

Practice Questions

Each day, Rahul attempted 60–80 MCQs from different topics. He reviewed each answer critically — even the correct ones.

Tip: Quality of review matters more than quantity of questions.

5. Self-Analysis via Mistake Book

Mistake Tracking

He maintained a ‘Mistake Book’ — jotting down why an error happened and what the right concept or trick was.

Tip: Maintain error logs with topic, reason, and correct approach.

6. Weekly Full-Length Tests

Mock Tests

Rahul took full NEET mocks every Sunday to track progress and simulate real-exam conditions.

Tip: Time your test exactly like NEET — same day, same slot, same discipline.

7. Learning from Topper Interviews

Topper Insights

He followed YouTube interviews and success stories to find study hacks, revision plans, and mindset shifts that worked for others.

Tip: Note what successful students avoided — not just what they did.

8. Fixing Biology First

Biology Boost

Biology was his lowest-scoring subject initially. He focused on diagram-based questions, NCERT line-by-line memorization, and mock practice.

Tip: 360 in Biology is the easiest boost — don’t let it pull you down.

9. Physics & Chemistry Balance

Balancing Subjects

Rahul paired tough Physics topics with easy Chemistry ones on alternate days to maintain interest and reduce burnout.

Tip: Don’t study both hard subjects together — plan for psychological ease.

10. Last 30 Days Plan

Final Month Strategy

In the final month, he shifted to full-syllabus mocks every 3rd day, followed by 2 days of error revision and NCERT brushing.

Tip: Last month is for refining, not for covering new chapters.
