By Topperlearning Expert 13th Jan, 2023 | 08:50 pm

Your preparation for the NEET exam should not just be confined to hard work. Rather, smart work can be your biggest asset in cracking the competitive exam. Gather insights into previous years' NEET question papers’ overall difficulty level.

Significance of NEET Trend Analysis

Every year, the subject experts at TopperLearning perform trend analysis. Here is why you must go through the trend analysis:

●     This analysis presents you with a complete idea about the question paper pattern and the actual weightage of chapters in the syllabus over the years.

●     It is a great resource for students keen to understand exam trends and the major changes that have occurred over the years.

●     It provides students an upper hand in their NEET exam preparations.

●     It helps structure your preparation strategy for the exam and allocate sufficient time to chapters that have held more importance over the years.

Aspirants must refer to the following year-wise list shared below.

Interpretations:

●     From last two years shows that the Class XII Physics Chapters have contributed a higher percentage over class XI.

●     According to CBSE reduced syllabus Communication system chapter has been removed.

●     Optics, Electronic Devices, Electrostatics, Properties of Solids and Liquids, Electromagnetic Induction and Alternating Currents, and Current Electricity are some of the crucial chapter for NEET preparation.
