These are some keys to gain the most output of your PMT preparation :
1. First of all, attempt the smallest questions (length wise). The smallest question does not mean the easiest question !! However, you will take less time in moving through them and can attempt longer questions later. In this way you will be able to maximize your attempts.
2. Then attempt the questions which you are very sure of their answers. The cut-off marks for PMT preliminary is very near to 49% each year (2 % variation is possible ). So, once you clear the sure questions and you are above 50 %, you should refrain from guessing.
Remember, you will not be judged for the number of questions you attempt, but for the number you attempt correctly minus the wrong ones !!

Always try to optimize your score and not maximize your score !! Remember, one who gets 600/600 and one who gets 301/600 will be considered equal competitors in PMT finals !!
3. In case you fall below 50% you must carry out guessing in the following manner :
i. Never do random guessing.
ii. If out of 4 answers, you are able to eliminate 2 wrong answers, you can attempt the question by guessing. Your success chances are increased to 50% from 25%(in case of random guessing).
iii. Check out your answer sheet for the maximum counts. For eg if the maximum correct answers are pointed at option B, you may get it right by hitting B. However, CBSE is not bound to always give such probability. However, mostly till now, the pattern has been followed and maximum correct answers fall on B or C option.
iv. Avoid options saying-' is always, is never' because there are always exceptions to any condition. Choose from- 'most often, sometimes' etc.
Important topics for Biology:
● Plus-one syllabus: Topics such as kingdom monera, taxonomy of plants and animals, cell structure, cell cycle, nervous system, chemical coordination, photosynthesis, plant growth hormones and so on
● Plus-two syllabus: topics such as molecular basis of inheritance, biotechnology and its applications, microbes in human welfare, ecosystem, environmental issues and so forth
● In the last three years, questions from ecology have been given a lot of importance
Hot Tip for PMT preparation: Be thorough with NCERT as well as ISC textbooks
● Try to read the whole NCERT syllabus. For all-India entrance tests, go through the ISC textbook as well. For AIPMT Mains, you have to go a little deep into the theory portion to attempt descriptive questions. Try to solve descriptive questions given at the end of each chapter in the ISC textbook. In the AIIMS test, a thorough reading of the NCERT textbook and practicing MCQs is sufficient.
● Revise the theory portion as much as you can.
● Recollect important points and frame questions of your own.
● Answer direct questions without looking at the options, because options confuse a lot.
● Practice as many MCQs including previous year’s questions as you can. You require more power of recollection to tackle biology.
