If we talk about the right time to start preparing for any entrance exam, there’s no fixed period or age for that. In fact, the exam preparation time varies from one individual to another, but the start of class 11th is considered the best time to start preparing for the medical entrance exams since the syllabus for these entrance exams is almost same as that of class 11th and 12th. Each year, thousands of students passing out of class 12 write the medical entrance test in India, but only a few of them manage to obtain a good rank and secure a seat in their favourite college/institute. One needs a well-planned strategy added up with immense hard work to crack one of the most difficult exams in India. Instead of banging your head just one or two months before the test’s commencement, it would be better if you start preparing right from class 11.
Collecting the syllabus for the examination is the most important thing that every medical aspirant should know before starting preparing for the pre-medical test. Because all medical entrance exams mostly cover NCERT syllabus, you can compare the syllabus with your current course curriculum. You will find many topics to be common with your study curriculum. It would be quite beneficial for you as you don’t need to learn or prepare those common topics separately. This will help you devote ample time to the parts of the syllabus that are not covered in your course. It was found that, in all medical entrance tests, more than 90% of the questions come from NCERT books. Thus, if you read your course books meticulously, you will cover more than half the distance to your destination. Moreover, if you read NCERT books properly and thoroughly, you will get in-depth knowledge about each and every topic starting from its basics. Most of the pictorial questions you see in the exam are sourced from the NCERT textbook itself.
Nothing works in the absence of a proper schedule. Until and unless you make a complete and thorough schedule for the way you want to study, you will not be able to complete the syllabus. A well-planned study schedule will successfully help you cover your school course and medical test preparation parallelly. Set affordable weekly targets that can help you cover the syllabus giving enough time for revision. So, start your medical test preparations with Extramarks now.
