Hello NEET aspirants!
How are your preparations for NEET Chemistry 2021 going this year? We understand you well. We know how difficult it is to handle all the subjects together as you near your examinations. We are also worried about how your revisions are going? That is why, at #ChemistryBench, our experts have come up with a list of do or die chapters and topics that you need to concentrate on for NEET Chemistry 2021 this year.
- For students who’ve already kick-started their revisions, this is a kind of bonus list for some extra or 2nd set of revisions!
- For students who’re still fighting against the syllabus, this is something that you cannot take for granted.
To easily score higher or at least clear the exam, you have to invest in some additional hours or efforts. Not to all the chapters. But, to a few chapters or topics in the NEET chemistry 2021 syllabus.
As you know, NEET Chemistry 2021 examination will have 45 questions to be answered. Each correct answer fetches you 4 points. Each incorrect answer fetches you -1 point. Class XI questions account for 23 (with 92 marks). Class XII questions account for 22 (with 88 marks). This totals the NEET Chemistry score to a maximum of 180 marks.
