Please mention your state category. For 500+, read NCERT biology textbook (you must read a lesson twice a week in preparation). For the 1st time, read it carefully line by line, while studying it for the 2nd time, just go through all the lessons (choose a single book, attend the lectures. - Plan in a way that in 3 weeks span you must be able to study a lesson twice and do all the questions related to the same. - Now, it looks like if you read a lesson today, you are repeating it in every 6-7 days, so you don't forget too many points. -If you are able to revise or read a lesson (for big one, 1-hour and small one-40 minutes), you are going to get a triple century in NEET biology I. e. 300+/360. - For physics: Just follow the lecture correctly after getting some idea on the lesson. Just learn the formulae by heart (1st-year). Try applying them if you don't get them and ask your lecturers. For chemistry:
Do same as you did for biology group (reduce, repeat time from 1-week to 4-days). For organic, listen to your lecturer carefully and learn what he/she is saying the same day. This is the only way. If you face a lag, you are knocked off. For physical, do same as physics and apply the 2-year law for both the years.
