Last Minute AIPMT Preparation Plan and Tips

Many students tend to leave out their preparation for entrance to the last minute.

This is not because they want to but because of board exams and the less number of days between the last board exam and the entrance exam.

This is a common problem and definitely there are ways to improve this situation and feel well prepared for your exam.

Read further if your exam is in about a week or two and you are feeling unprepared.

Following are some tips related to your preparation.

How to complete your syllabus

Divide your syllabus into chapters based on their importance in exams. Check out the weightage for AIPMT here: Complete AIPMT Study Material

Again divide each section into chapters done or chapters not done by you. Good Enough Meter on simplylearnt guides you on whether you have done a chapter or not.
Now tackle your syllabus in the following manner based on how many days remain:

Exam is in 2 days – If you have done most of important chapters then just leave out anything not done, however important the chapter is. If many important chapters are not done yet take 2-3 most important chapters and do 25 questions each.
Exam is in about a week – Take one new chapter daily and practice 25 questions on each. Also take a few important chapters daily and revise them using notes and practice a few questions. Leave out the last day for revision only.

Revising Your Syllabus

You would have made some notes or formulae sheets on each chapter earlier, in the last minute make sure you revise a few chapters (ideally 5) daily. Revise the chapters in the order of their importance in the exams.

If you do not have notes or formulae sheets they are available on SL .

Making up your mind

Now is the time to remain totally positive. Tell yourself daily that "I CAN DO IT"

Introduce some breathing exercises in your routine and eat well
