NEET 2024 Physics Preparation Strategy:

It is always preferable to understand in depth the chapters you are unsure of. Question-solving, in particular, is beneficial, but only if you have a solid understanding of the chapter you are solving. Because otherwise, if a tough question in that chapter comes up, you could get into problems.
You also cannot devote too much time to one subject; you must devote equal attention to all subjects.
Keep in mind that due to the multiple calculations in each chapter, Physics should not be treated like Mathematics. Understand the ideas in order to practise the formulae properly.

Important Chapters

First, you need to give extra attention to these chapters,

Mechanics
Electrodynamics
Modern Physics
Heat and Thermodynamics
Optics
Simple Harmonic Motion
Waves

NEET 2024 Chemistry Preparation Strategy:

It is always beneficial to strengthen your theory portion of the chemistry chapters. As can be seen, many of the questions are theory-based, so read them carefully.
Understand the concepts in Organic chemistry, which has 14 to 18 questions, for better success. The chapter on Isomerism and Effects must be very important to finish. It is preferable to study chemical bonding, p-blocks, and coordination compounds at the very least in Inorganic chemistry. Because you can expect 10 to 18 questions, ignoring the subject will not help you.
Remember that practising the previous year’s chemistry questions will not help you because the subject does not always follow a set pattern in NEET. To summarise, it is fine to practise but not to rely on it.

NEET 2024 Biology Preparation Strategy:

As you may know, NEET Biology is divided into two topics, Botany and Zoology. Plus, each section carries i.e., sections A and B, 35 and 15 questions respectively. However, do remember that section B carries 10 questions so the total number of questions remains 90.

NEET comprises both class 11 and 12 biology subjects, where 40-42 questions come from class 11. The other 48-50 remaining questions are from class 12, so prepare your studies accordingly. More importantly, you have to know which class syllabus you are confident about.
About 68-70 questions are from NCERT books, so study the NCERT biology books thoroughly. Plus, 7 -10 questions can be tackled if you solve the previous year’s questions. But remember, like told earlier, do not engage too much time behind problem-solving this question.
The syllabus for biology is pretty vast and you need to have a deep understanding to navigate through it. The best way is to keep making notes when studying the chapters as later when revising the process will be a lot easier.

A General Instruction for the Candidates of NEET 2024

Keep a routine for your NEET studies, i.e., schedule your studies for each subject throughout the day. Make a month-long schedule for each topic and stick to it.
As previously stated, keep notes on each topic as this will come in handy. Especially when trying to locate a particularly important section of a chapter.
In addition, you should thoroughly study the NCERT books because, in most cases, the examination will include questions from the books.
At the beginning of your NEET preparation, you can always take significant bits from various study materials and books. However, at a later stage, stick to one book that you are familiar with.
