But there is a big challenge facing the students from the medical stream, i.e., balancing their preparations for class 12th board exams and the NEET 2020.

As per the rules, students need to score at least 50% marks (45% in case of physically handicapped and 40% in case of reserved categories) in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology or Biotechnology subjects during the board exams along with the required percentile in NEET to be declared as qualified.

Here are some useful tips to help the students crack the NEET Exam 2020 along with their class 12th board exams: - 

Prepare a time-table: - “Failing to plan is planning to fail,” this saying best describes the importance of having a proper time-table for studying. Students must prepare a proper time-table wherein more time is allocated to weaker concepts and vice-versa. This practice will help with better management of the time available and ensure coverage of all the key concepts for NEET 2020 as well as class 12th board exams. 

Take one subject at a time: - “Too many cooks, spoil the broth.” Remember that having concepts clarity is essential in clearing both  NEET and class 12th board exams. So during the preparations, take one subject at a time and clear all your doubts pertaining to it before moving on to the next subject.

Study NCERT Books: - Including NCERT books during your preparations will help you significantly. As per experiences shared by students who have cleared NEET previously, most of the questions come from the NCERT textbook. So including it in preparation plans will help with class 12th exams as well as NEET 2020. 

Mock Test: - Practice mock tests for NEET 2020 as well as the board exams on a regular basis and in a time-bound manner. This will help you get rid of the jitters and be more confident while taking the exams. 

It is not an easy task to manage both the board exams as well as NEET preparations simultaneously, but that being said, it is not impossible either. With a little dedication and a lot of effort, you can indeed achieve both these objectives.
