1. They are preparing as per their time table for the remaining few weeks until NEET PG exam. They have already made a rough time table as soon as the NEET PG date was announced.

2. They are solving MCQs daily for 10-20% of preparation time, along with studying theory, since, they know that MCQs help to train the brain for the real exam scenario.

3. They are NOT too worried/perturbed about "changed exam scenario" (200 qns) OR about the "Clinical type/integrated type quesions" since theye are aware that the basic MBBS knowledge remains the same and application of this knowledge is all that is required to solve these MCQs.

4. They are NOT omitting/leaving any subject untouched. Even though time is short, spending few hours for such 'untouched' subjects may give 4-5 extra marks in the exam.

5. They are NOT changing any of their trusted sources of preparation now (either notes/apps/books). Since they have already preapred from these, revising becomes a LOT easier.

6. They are NOT worried about the 1% of "controversial questions or very recent updates" which might/might not be asked in the exam. They are rather focusing on getting the maximum number of other questions correct.

7. They are NOT affected by any 'adverse' results / poor scores in the ongoing "mock" exams/ GTs being conducted by various Apps. Rather, they know that they have been preparing for the past > 9 months and are on track. They are also aware that it takes that ONE excellent performance in the actual NEET PG exam to get a good rank (and then, they are again aware that PG seats are NOT allotted based on Mock Test Ranks).

8. They have a reasonable amount of anxiety/exam fear - which is present in most exam going students and it drives them forward  in a positive way. They DO NOT get overanxious / desperate / depressed since they know that they are already fully qualified MBBS doctors and they are in fact licensed to practice now !

I assume that > 70% of you fall into this category and are in a "good space" right now - just follow your instincts, be sensible and things will fall into place soon.

For all others who do not fall into the above category, go ahead still and give your best shot - you've got nothing to lose !

All the Best
