NEET Strategy: What does NTA focus on?
Hello everyone, this is Shahul. Recently, I shared a question on whether the sheer number of questions you practice and their accuracy are the only factors that will guarantee success in NEET. Many institutes advocate solving 50,000, 60,000, or even 70,000 MCQs. But is this really the best approach? The answer is no.
Focus on Conceptual Understanding
The National Testing Agency (NTA) is increasingly emphasizing the importance of conceptual understanding rather than mere memorization. This shift is evident across all subjects—biology, physics, and chemistry. NTA is not just testing your ability to recall facts; they want to know how well you understand the concepts.
When it comes to building these concepts, solving questions plays a crucial role. Reading alone might give you a 50% grasp of a concept, but your understanding deepens when you successfully solve related MCQs. The right questions, therefore, are those that challenge your conceptual strength, aligning with what NTA seeks to assess.
Why Fewer, Quality Questions is Better
Many students mistakenly believe that solving a large quantity of questions is the key to success. However, after speaking with numerous students over the years as the founder of Memoneet, I can confidently say that the quality of the MCQs you solve is far more important than the quantity.
Imagine focusing on 100 well-crafted questions per chapter, covering the essential 72 chapters. That totals around 7,200 to 7,500 questions. These questions alone could build a strong conceptual foundation, equipping you to tackle any question that comes your way.
Memoneet’s Brahmastra Test Series: Perfect Strategy
Take our Brahmastra Test Series (BTS) for NEET 2025 as an example. Last year, in 2024, we saw remarkable improvements among students. Many went from scores of 200-250 to 500-550, and even above 650. One student, in particular, jumped from around 410 to 650, despite solving fewer questions.
In BTS 2024, we provided 2,400 high-quality questions. These questions alone enabled that student to make such a significant leap. It’s clear that focusing on fewer but more relevant, NTA-level questions is more beneficial than tackling a random assortment of 60,000-70,000 MCQs.
Focus on Quality
In conclusion, quality trumps quantity every time. The next time someone boasts about solving tens of thousands of questions, don’t be swayed. Even if you only solve 10,000 questions, if they’re the right questions—conceptual, NTA-aligned—you’ll be ahead of the game.
Thank you for your time, and remember, focus on quality to ensure your success in NEET!
Best regards,
