How to Prepare for NEET MDS – Chapter 2 – How to Prepare Theory & MCQs?
Welcome to the Chapter 2 of the series on NEET "All About NEET MDS Entrance Exams". In this section, we will know how to effectively study the Theory and also prepare for the MCQs.
The next task is to analyze the test performance. This assessment will give you some crucial ideas on your weak aspects while answering questions within a stipulated time.
How to analyze your test performance?
- Check the Key answers and compute the score
- Note down discrepancies if any and clarify asap
- Just don’t relax after this
- Spend sufficient time to analyze your performance
- Note down and mark the wrong answers including the reasons – like wrongly marked even though you know the correct answer, got confused with the options etc.
- Also, make an assessment of how many questions you were able to answer correctly within the stipulated time frame.
- Make an assessment of the wrong answers you committed (that leads to negative marking)
Always remember, your final rank depends on your total mark and also in the number of negative markings you incur. Therefore, be very careful in analyzing these two aspects when assessing your practice test scores.
As a teacher myself, I have devised a simple technique to help students sort out the questions during test assessment in a way that makes it easy for them to revise. This technique is called as EMD Technique. This technique is used in all the Brihaspathi online materials and also in the printed study materials. This EMD system has also been incorporated into the Brihaspathi Android App.
It’s a very simple technique which goes a great way in helping students to manage time and subsequently in the revisions.
Mark the Questions directly in the Book against each Question as below
(we have inbuilt facility in our Android App) – See the below Illustration. You can do so in the book or material you are using)
Easy – those type of questions you will never make wrong even in sleep
Moderate – these questions require at least one revision before the exam
Difficulty – that type of questions you always make wrong or doubtful, confusing, requires lot of memory
See a Demo Question sheet below marked with E, M, D Markings. It will save you not only a great deal of time but also make you revision concentrated on the questions that are difficult for you.
Use the table below to keep a regular record of the time-based responses to your practice tests. Even if you decide not to join any coaching center and do self-study, you must use the record system below to assess your regular performance in the simulated test of solving MCQs.
