The exam comprises 240 multiple-choice questions presented solely in English, encompassing subjects from the BDS curriculum, candidates must manage their time effectively within the allotted 3 hours. Divided into two parts, Part A comprises 100 questions, while Part B features 140 questions, with a cumulative scoring potential of 960 marks. While the time may seem a lot, only the right questions must be attempted because of negative marking.
Focus on Revision:
Developing a revision schedule for NEET MDS is essential for retention and exam success. Besides topics that get covered in BDS, one needs to include General medicine and General surgery too. Create detailed revision notes organized by topic during your second reading of chapters, and utilize flashcards for memorization. Allocate time for regular reviews of previously covered topics, focusing on high-weightage subjects. Students should refrain from beginning with any new material at all. Self-written notes, highlighting important concepts, come in very handy during revision.
