**** Keep your notes up-to-date because it will help you in memorizing the important things in the last time prior to exam.
**** Be consistent because consistency will give you much better results and it will keep you in regular flow of preparation.
**** Manage your time efficiently and I would recommend you to use POMODORO technique while studying, POMODORO is nothing but a slab of 30 minutes in which you study for 25 minutes and take a break of 5 minutes. After 4-5 POMODORO slabs take a long 30 minutes break. During break do whatever you like to do, so that your mind gets recharged.
**** Once you complete your almost 30% of the NEET UG syllabus practice previous year's questions and questions from sample papers as many as you can because it will enhance your self-confidence and time management skill and repeat this cycle after every 30% completion.
