The Forgetting Curve
The human brain is designed to forget. According to the Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve, you lose about 70% of what you learn within 24 hours unless you review it. For a NEET aspirant, reading a chapter on Plant Physiology in August and hoping to remember it in May is a recipe for disaster.
Spaced Repetition Systems (SRS)
The solution is Spaced Repetition. Instead of cramming, you review the material at systematically increasing intervals: Day 1, Day 3, Day 7, Day 14, and Day 30. This forces your brain to recall the information just as it is about to forget it, cementing it into long-term memory.
You must systematize this. Whether using flashcard apps or a physical revision tracker grid, logging your review cycles ensures no chapter slips through the cracks. Combine this with daily mock tests to dominate the examination hall.
