NEET 2026 MCQ Solving Strategy
A well-planned NEET MCQ strategy helps students maximize scores by improving accuracy, reducing negative marking, and managing exam time efficiently. Instead of attempting all questions, focus on a smart, stepwise approach to select and solve MCQs.
- Three-Round Method: First solve direct and sure-shot MCQs, second attempt concept-based numericals, and keep lengthy or tricky questions for the final round.
- Accuracy Over Attempts: Avoid blind guessing, especially in Physics and Chemistry, as negative marking can reduce overall score.
- Option Elimination Technique: Use units, dimensions, graphs, limiting cases, and sign analysis to remove incorrect options quickly.
- Previous Year Question Pattern: Many NEET MCQs follow repeated logic with changed values—identify and exploit these patterns.
- Time Management: Do not spend more than 90–100 seconds on a single MCQ during the first attempt.
- Strong Formula Base: Most NEET MCQs are formula-driven; revise formulas along with conditions of applicability.
- Smart Review Marking: Mark only partially solved questions for review, not completely unknown ones.
- Control Negative Marking: Attempt doubtful questions only when at least two options are confidently eliminated.
- Final Verification: Recheck units, powers of ten, sign conventions, and given data before submitting the answer.
