Chemistry Preparation Tips for NEET Aspirants
Chemistry plays an important role in getting a good score and rank in NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test). With the right strategy, scoring good marks in chemistry can be very easy. Chemistry is generally divided into three parts: physical, organic, and inorganic chemistry. Chemistry questions are mostly direct and NCERT-based. The total number of questions is 45, and each question carries 4 marks. Here are some tips that you can follow to score well in the subject.
1. Understand the Syllabus First
Chemistry is considered a highest-scoring subject, as it is a requisite mixture of concepts, memory, and practice. For NEET candidates, they are required to study class 11 and 12 chemistry NCERT books. Three main parts that chemistry is divided into:
- Physical Chemistry—Concept and Numerical Based
- Organic Chemistry—Reaction mechanisms and concepts
- Inorganic Chemistry—mostly theory and memorization
It is very important to have a balanced preparation of all three parts of the subject.
2. Weightage of Chemistry Section in NEET
For the chemistry section, this is the approximate weightage in the examination.
| Section | Weightage |
| Physical chemistry | 30-35% |
| Organic chemistry | 40-45% |
| Inorganic chemistry | 25-30% |
3. NCERT is a must
For NEET, NCERT is the most important book for chemistry, as it works as a base for the exam. After studying NCERT very thoroughly, you can refer to some other books. Many questions are directly and indirectly from NCERT.
- Read every line carefully
- Note down important topics and points
- Go through the tables, reactions, and named reactions multiple
- Solve all the examples and exercises
4. Tips for Physical Chemistry
To be thorough in physical chemistry, one has to have strong conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills.
- By heart all the formulae and derivations.
- Practice numericals every day
- Make a formula sheet for all the formulas and revise them every morning when you wake up.
- Practice regularly to improve speed and accuracy
- Important chapters: Mole concept, thermodynamics, chemical equilibrium, electrochemistry, chemical kinetics, etc.
5.Tips for Organic Chemistry
For organic chemistry it is very important to understand reaction mechanisms instead of memorizing them.
- Learn general organic chemistry very well.
- Practice name reaction and conversion multiple times
- Revise reactions repeatedly
- Important chapters—General organic chemistry, hydrocarbons, alcohols, phenols and ethers, aldehydes and ketones, biomolecules, etc.
6. Tips for Inorganic Chemistry
Inorganic chemistry is mostly NCERT-based; the questions that are asked in the examination are mostly direct.
- Read NCERT line by line
- Make short notes for quick revision
- Revise as much as you can.
- Important chapters—Periodic table, Chemical bonding, Coordination compounds, p-Block elements, etc.
7. Additional Tips
- Solve PYQs to get to know the exam pattern, important topics, difficulty level, and time management.
- Take regular mock tests, as they build your confidence and help you identify your weak areas and speed.
- Revision is the key to getting a good rank not only in chemistry but also in other subjects.
- Weekly revision of complete chapters and monthly revision of all the chapters
- Make flashcards and short notes of the topics for easy and quick revision.
Conclusion
As we know, chemistry plays a crucial role in getting a high score, as it combines conceptual learning, problem-solving, and memorization. Focusing mainly on NCERT test books, regular practice of numerical problems, and very thorough revision of reaction and the concepts will improve your performance in the exam. It is very important to have a balance of attention in physical, organic, and inorganic chemistry. Be very consistent about the PYQs and the mock test, as they help you to focus on your weak areas and time management. For NEET aspirants chemistry is a very high-scoring subject, as it boosts the chance to get into a good medical college.
FAQs
Is physical chemistry most important?
No, all three parts are equally important.
How many questions come in NEET from chemistry?
The total number of questions is 45, which carries 180 marks in total.
Can I skip the numericals in chemistry?
No, that would be very silly because each question carries 4 marks, and leaving even 1 question means losing marks.
