This kind of note taking was accidently discovered by me (Parth Goyal, NEET 2019 AIR 223 Holder,
Biology 345/360 Scorer) during my class 12th.
I was horrible in learning biology. It used to be the hardest subject for me, as my memory was not good
and I used to forget things faster. One day my teacher said me to make Assertion/Reason questions
from NCERT for preparation for AIIMS entrance (at that time AIIMS used to held its different exam). I
initially found this idea boring and time consuming. But one day I thought that why not to make other
kind of questions which are easier to make and consume less time, like T/F, fill in the blank & one
word questions. I tried this idea, and it came out to be the best thing I ever did for myself!
After starting this kind of note taking, my biology marks went too high (I scored 345/360 in NEET)
and also I got so much time left that I cleared JEE also, with NEET!! Yes it is true! I scored 99.45%ile in
Jee Mains & AIR 5364 in JEE Adv.
Later I came to know that I was using two modern scientifically proven study techniques, 1st was
active recall, and the 2nd was spaced repetition. Learn about these on internet. You can also visit my
youtube channel for NEET related study techniques and strategies.
Using this technique, you can revise even big big chapters of biology (that too quality revision) in just
15-20 min without leaving a single imp point. Yes it saves that much amount of time!! Thousands of
students have used my this techniques and got selection, you will find many on my Instagram stories.
@parthvegan :)
Using this, you will cover whole NCERT and will also not have to waste time reading useless big
paragraphs of NCERT. Me and my designer have invested 8-10 hrs in each and every biohacks, trying
to make it as best as possible. With these biohacks, you have me in it :)
3) DigaQs – These are “pikachu” like cute questions which will pop-up in between making the PDF
aesthetic! It contains all important diagrams with their labelling removed.
4) Essence of Biohack (Active Recall) – Instead of reading NCERT theory again and again for revision
(which is a boring process to be true), asking questions from it is better because it will make us more
focused and make the revision process fun and faster!
5) More active recall than ever – I have discovered a new trick to make you more attentive than ever. I
have seen that people give more attention to things when they notice something “weird” or opposite than
“normal”. I can’t tell you about it fully, but yaa I can give a hint, questions are framed in such a way that
you will have to think twice before answering and hence no passive reading can take place!
6) Short questions so that revision can be fast - like take an example, “____ no of spiracles are present
in cockroach” is converted to “____ no of spiracles”. It will be obvious to you that this question is about
cockroach (because it will be in cockroach biohack) But this small reduction in no of words in each
question successively will save a lot of time and will cause bullet-train superfast revision!
12) These PDFs are made by myself, a topperwho discovered this technique, so they are the best!
How to Use ?
You can use these notes for revision (that too in an active recall manner, that's why they are best!) &
also after the first read for question practice (spaced repetition).
