Nov 1, 2021

NEET-SS Paper-A Preparation Strategy

Your strategy for Paper-A will act as an essential determinant in deciding the path of your future journey. If you are looking for the perfect strategy for nailing the exam, it’s time to take that off your plate because we have a plan that covers every aspect!

Paper A: Total Number of Questions- 40Most Probable Distribution

Internal Medicine	30/40
Respiratory Medicine	3/40
Paediatrics	5/40

Dr. Santosh M. Patil researched and analyzed multiple exam papers and concluded that for most of the specialties (Cardiology, Nephrology, Gastroenterology, Rheumatology), 75% of the paper A tests your knowledge of General Medicine.

Also, you can attempt 83% of the questions based on Respiratory Medicine and 66% of the questions based on Paediatrics if you study Harrison’s Principles of Internal Medicine thoroughly.

You need to constantly work on enhancing your knowledge of Adult Medicine and revising the concepts because it will help you ace Paper A.

Internal Medicine: Most Probable Distribution

NEET-PG Level	23/32
Core SS Level	9/32

A large majority of the questions based on Internal Medicine may not seem too challenging or complex if your revision is on point. The difficulty level of such questions is almost the same as that of the questions that appear in the NEET-PG.

Now, if the remaining questions give you jitters and keep you awake in the middle of the night, we have a plan that will make you feel relieved.

Dr. Santosh has concluded that most of the core SS questions are asked from the areas/topics that many aspirants tend to overlook. It manages to convince them that this category of questions is too strenuous to deal with. But we have the map that leads to the treasure box of the sections you must not miss:

Harrison’s Tables/Flowcharts/Images

Updated Guidelines

Harrison’s Statements

Infectious Diseases

Oncology

Ignored Sections
-Approach
-The First Few Topics in Harrison’s

It has been noted that the questions that are rated as ‘very difficult’ are from these sections. And if you ensure that you don’t miss these, your opinions will strongly differ from those who rate core SS questions too difficult.

At this stage of your preparation, if you take care of the following points, your dream rank won’t seem too far:

Refrain from studying everything all over again. If there are specific topics you need conceptual understanding for, trust PrepLadder’s video content to take care of that.
Complete the pending chapters before you start revision.
Appear for exam-relevant mock tests.
Solve as many MCQs as you can!

You can master the art of nailing the second part if you understand the most probable distribution of the questions and take into account the points crucial to this phase of the preparation.

Paper B: Total Number of Questions- 60Most Probable Distribution

Category 1	The number of questions that can be answered by thoroughly reading Harrison’s Principles of Internal Medicine	46/60
Category 2	The number of questions that can be answered through core SS reading	14/60

Category 1 Questions of Paper-BDifficulty Level(Most probable distribution)

NEET-PG Level	30/46
SS Level	16/46

You can master the art of nailing the second part if you understand the most probable distribution of the questions and take into account the points crucial to this phase of the preparation.

It is understandable that the second category of questions can manage to stress you out. However, if you are aware of the apt sources of information, you won’t miss out on anything important- neither during the preparation nor during the examination.

Make sure that you complete all the tables from SS books.
Don’t forget to read and revise the latest stats and guidelines for important disorders.
Practice as many MCQs as possible- there is no alternative to practicing as much as you can!
