3. NEET Preparation Books to Choose 

When you are interested in NEET exam preparation, you should have clarity in each concept of every subject. Follow NEET preparation tips for a perfect NEET preparation strategy.

There are already a number of books available on the market, but buying all of them and completing those is not all a good idea!

We suggest you complete the NCERT books first. Complete the exercise and check your answers with the NCERT solutions. Then check any one of the reference NEET exam preparation books and start solving past year's NEET exam papers. Give as many NEET mock tests as possible to gain confidence for your final NEET exam.

Just pick any one book from each subject and focus on completing that book instead of buying all the books. As it will not help but create confusion which is not acceptable when you are focused on NEET exam preparation!
