The book

The NEET syllabus, read straight through instead of browsed topic by topic — one chapter per subtopic, with a couple of previous-year questions to check yourself at the end of each. 236 of 236 subtopics have a chapter written so far; more are added over time, and every subtopic already has a page here so a link never dead-ends — it just says so honestly when the chapter isn’t written yet.
