Nine Golden Strategies to lessen Negative Markings in NEET's PG

 NEET PG Exam is an online test with 300 multiple-choice questions. Here in this article, we'll examine some ways to minimize Negative Marking in NEET PG.

While candidates study for the entire year long to prepare for the highly competitive exam in the final few months, candidates find themselves in a tricky situation. While preparation is one aspect that is tested, the most important exam of one's understanding and ability is when students actually attempt the exam. More than just one's understanding and ability is what counts. What matters is the candidate's mind and ability to answer the questions that they are familiar with and their shrewdness when trying to answer the questions they are not sure about. According to NEET the PG model, candidates will receive four marks for a correct answer and one mark is deducted for a incorrect answer.

Tips to reduce negative marking in NEET PG

1. No Wrong Answer

In an effort to answer greater number of questions students begin making guesses about 2 hours into the exam, which leads to taking on questions they are unsure of. The students need to understand that this is not the time to test your aptitude. More typically, it is discovered that any attempts with the use of guesswork can result in negative marks. In most cases, students do not make it on the merit list.

For example, you can answer 50 questions are certain - you'll have 200 x 2 = 400

If you attempt 50 questions using the guesswork method, 50 marks will be removed, reducing scoring to (400-50) 350.

So, the plan is to use guesswork to only those questions you know some inkling about and leave those you're completely unsure of.

2. Brain-warmer

Find the questions that are easy and then begin with less difficult questions to ease anxiety. Stress can affect confidence of students, the best trick is to begin with simple questions first. This affects the psychology of students through restoring confidence in himself. It is like warming up your brain in preparation for the difficult questions to come. However, beginning with tough questions creates stress that is multiplied that causes student to mark the wrong answers regardless of the questions students were well-versed with.

3. Examine the Question Three Times to Avoid Erroneous marking

Read the questions carefully and be extremely cautious of words such as not including. Students usually do not pay attention to such words thereby marking wrong choices. Thus students need to be sure that they understand the question actually is.

4. Check all options thoroughly

In this case, for instance, you will get the following query: Try more

Posterior pituitary or Neuro secretes:

A. Oxytocin b. TSH

C. Prolactin d. Oxytocin and Vasopressin

After reading the question and seeing the first option with excitement, you would mark 'a' as your choice without having read the other possibilities. Making a decision on a subject you've an extensive understanding of is the worst thing. A lot of times, 'All of these' are an acceptable answer, but most students completely ignore.

5. Elimination Guesswork

If you're not sure about a certain question it is possible to eliminate the option each by one in order to discover the correct answer. If you eliminate 2 options you will have 50% of the chance of being correct . If you eliminate three choices then there is a 100% probability of being right.

6. Do 3 rounds

A good time divide is a second guideline to avoid negative marking. The aim is to make the most effective version of questions as per your capability. If you allow enough time to revise this means you won't have any time for negative marking because the majority of your time will be devoted to studying the questions that you can do using your knowledge instead of wasting your time studying questions that are entirely new to you.

7. Make a Risk Make use of it or lose It!

Don't be afraid of taking the risk of a knowledge-based experience that you already have. A majority of 180-200 questions are easy. All of them will test your analytical abilities. It is impossible to be 100% sure of the questions. What NEET PG examiners are looking at is your reasoning , as well as your intelligence. Candidates who are qualified will be the ones who answer between 50-80 questions using their reasoning ability with the help of the elimination technique. If you are prone to stress or avoid trusting your gut on these questions, you will end up making a big mistake.

8. Avoid Last Minute Rush

The last-minute test is usually disastrous. Experts suggest that students should take their time and submit their responses within 10 seconds of the deadline to avoid making rash and untrue guesses.

9. Reverse Psychology: Evaluate yourself prior to taking the test

Mock tests are the most effective way to assess yourself. Give as many mock tests as possible and mark your responses using only guesswork. Examine your marks to determine the percentage of your guesses actually worked. This will discourage students from be haphazard in their guesses during the test.
