How & What to read in biochemistry for NEET MDS preparation.

 Hello aspirants! I Hope you all are doing good...

You may be worrying about 'how to prepare biochemistry?' and 'what topic should cover?'. Many students try to avoid this subject because the fear of remembering not actually the subject is really tough.

The key is whatever you are going to prepare or prepared already, you just have to revise the topic not every day, just alternative days. 

On first read, you are going to learn the topic or cycle, on second read you are going to memorize, on third time, you should try to remember without seeing book or notes, then you will find in which step you are weak, then repeat the revision once again. The reason why revision important is every time you revise the topic, you will learn new things & explore new concept.

Try to do the revision, 10 days once or monthly once, you will remember it for long period, until your final exam. And just spend adequate time, don't overdo it, because this is not the only subject which comes for exam.

What to read in biochemistry:

Start with three common metabolisms.

1. Carbohydrate metabolism.

2. Protein metabolism.

3. Lipid metabolism.

In these topics complete the cycles i.e., Glycolysis, glycogenesis, glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis, urea cycle, citric acid cycle, cholesterol synthesis, Fatty acid synthesis, Ketone bodies, bile acid synthesis, HMP pathway, Rapaport-leubering cycle. (If i missed any other cycle please add it in your to do list).

After reading the cycle, go back to dental pulse, complete the MCQ's & synopsis of these topics, then you will be thorough.

For remaining topics like, 

Vitamins, enzymes, nucleoproteins & mineral metabolism, general biochemistry, from my personal experience I can say that dental pulse & class notes are enough.

Textbook or dental pulse?

Nobody can tell that only textbooks or only MCQ books are enough, for each topic it differs. For cycles you should go through the textbooks, because that's the core topics of biochemistry, & for remaining topics first read the synopsis then go for MCQ's and read explanation for every question carefully, you will get an idea about it. 

And finally, revising the test papers plays major role in preparation. Reading MCQ book itself, going through the past question papers, but if you attempted test series, it would give you the confidence and better understanding.

Last but not the least, don't plan to give up on entire subject if you have adequate time for your exam, you can't master the textbook, but instead try to master any MCQ book. I am not misleading you, but if we don't have enough time we should think smart.

ALL THE BEST FOR YOUR EXAMS!
