Yes, absolutely. 700+ is about strategy and consistency, not innate intelligence. Students who follow a structured approach and put in 10+ hours of quality study daily can achieve this score.
Minimum 8-10 hours of focused study. Quality matters more than quantity. 8 hours of concentrated study beats 14 hours of distracted study.
Not mandatory, but helpful. Self-study with right resources can also help you score 700+. The key is having access to good study material, mock tests, and doubt resolution.
Start subject-wise tests from month 4. Full-length mocks should begin from month 7-8, with frequency increasing to 3-4 per week in the last 2 months.
Absolutely possible to reach 700+. Focus on intensive revision, daily mock tests, and error analysis. Many toppers improved 150+ marks in the last 6 months.
Scoring 700+ in NEET is achievable with the right strategy, consistent effort, and proper guidance. At Cerebrum Biology Academy, we've helped numerous students achieve this milestone.
