Steps/Tips to Score 180 in NEET Chemistry 

Chemistry is something that can boost your rank. It isn’t as difficult as physics, nor does it have a lot of theories like biology. Therefore, the chances to score are more in chemistry. Mainly, there are three branches of chemistry. 

• Physical chemistry 
• Organic chemistry 
• Inorganic chemistry 

NEET Chemistry Golden Tips 

• The first point that you need to remember before appearing in the exam is to have concept clarity
• There will be around ten direct formula-based questions which can be solved only when you have clarity of concept in your head
• Focus mainly on formulas. The best is to prepare a formula sheet
• Also, numerical practice is of utmost importance
• Take the help of guides like NCERT, DPPs, and 10-year question papers
• Do a thorough preparation of every question to score 180 in NEET Chemistry

Inorganic Chemistry 

• Inorganic chemistry is the most scoring part of chemistry
• The entire paper on inorganic chemistry is from NCERT
• While studying for this part of chemistry, keep your strategy the same as when reading for Biology
• There are books like Fingertips, NCERT Line by Line, and others that are most popular when it comes to NEET Chemistry
• Keep previous years’ questions handy and practice them at least five times at regular intervals
• While reading, highlight all exceptions as they are most likely to appear in exams
• Also, write the answer of why so that you don’t have to go through the entire thing again
• Follow the correct sequence of chapters

Organic Chemistry 

• Organic chemistry is another scoring part of chemistry
• Students generally face problems in organic chemistry because they have not gone through the class 11th topics well
• Unlike other parts of chemistry, organic chemistry in class 11th is closely interlinked with class 12th topics
• Hence, understanding the basics is important
• While studying inorganic chemistry, start with IUPAC < Isomerism < GOC1 < GOC2 < and so on
• Reactions in NCERT are extremely important
• Make reaction charts to understand better
• Practice questions from MS Chauhan’s book  

Note that low or high weightage does not make any difference if you aim for 180 in NEET Chemistry. Focus on reducing the number of units as it will release the pressure in your mind. 

Revision Strategy 

• Take out at least two hours for revision every day
• Do not procrastinate
• Stick to the right revision cycle
• The day your chapter notes are completed, revise them the very next day Revise the same chapter after three days, followed by seven days
• Keep repeating this cycle until and unless you’re feeling every topic
• Keep on participating in revision tests
• Sit for at least two weekly tests and one to two monthly tests
• Once you’re done with the tests, a thorough analysis of every topic is important
• During the analysis, follow the cycle: silly mistakes < calculation errors < speed < corrections < doubt clarification
