IIT JEE TIPS

Starting Preparation For IIT JEE
The best time to start preparation is at the beginning of 11th class.Students are fresh after the break after boards and a lot more can be learnt. Students who start late often end up leaving some key topics of 11th class JEE syllabus. Also, if you start your preparation in 12th class then the amount of hard work is increased manifold due to additional pressure of 12th boards, so chances of getting a high rank in JEE are
decreased. There is a big transition from the mugging up study of 10th class to more understanding based study of 11th class. So you shouldn't get bogged down by seeing the level of complexity in JEE
exam.

The first two or three months should be spent in revising your basic concepts (topics like algebra, mecanics) which had been taught in 9th class. Concepts in topics like algebra, mechanics and stoichiometry should be studied in great detail as they also form the basis for other topics and are very scoring. There should be no doubt in your mind about these concepts. For these, develop the habit of inquisition. Clear all your doubts so that mentally you feel confident tackling any concept. A key in this area is problem-solving. Regular problem solving not only strengthens the concepts, but also increases your mental sharpness which is must for JEE.Initially problems of low level should be tried and only when you have mastered them, you should go on to solving intricate JEE type problems. You should have systematic plan for the preparation of JEE. Regular hours should be allotted to mastering concepts and problem-solving. It is not necessary to memorise the lessons and formulae. Understand the derivations of formulae and apply the formulae to solving problems. Slowly these formulae will settle down in your brain and you will be able to recall them under any situation. What is required is a clear understanding and an easy familiarity with the concepts and laws. Maximum attention should be paid to solving problems.Try to be analytical rather than being intutive. Remember that hardwork pays! You should first take up a problem and try to solve it yourself. You should understand what is given and what is required, recall what principles, laws, equation.

Course Planning

Course planning is essential in the sense ,that it can get you at the top
in rank list.This planning should be done by the student in 11th class
itself . From this year, a screening test is being conducted and so
proper planning becomes all the more important.Have a look at all the
topics and shortlist topics,and months wherein you plan to complete
them.Finishing syllabus atleast a month before the exam is
essential.The summer vacations in 12th class are the best time to
finish a huge lot of syllabus.I can suggest the following course plan for
students in 11th class.

JUNE TO OCTOBER : Mathematical concepts used in Physics, Basic
mechanics, stoichiometry, general chemistry----atomic structure,
chemical bonding, periodic table, algebra---number theory, quadratic
equations, progressions.

OCTOBER TO JANUARY :Complete Mechanics, waves, Physical
Chemistry--equilibrium, heat, kinetics, thermochemistry, electrolysis,
algebra -----induction, complex numbers, trignometry.

JANUARY TO MAY : Heat, fluid mechanics, gravitation, Inorganic
chemistry---properties and metallurgy of metals and non metals, gas
laws, analytic geometry, permutations and combinations, binomial
theorem.

MAY TO AUGUST : Electrostatics and electricity, electrochemistry,
solutions, solids, qualitative analysis, transition metals, differentiation
and integration.

AUGUST TO NOVEMBER : magnetism, optics, modern physics,
organic chemistry, differential equations, probability, vectors.

NOVEMBER TO DECEMBER : FINAL REVISION
By following this plan,course will be finished in time and revision can
also done,to ensure maximum success in JEE.To maximize your
potential you have to planned .My next topic tells you about certain
important topics to which special interest should be given.

Important Topics

Choosing the right topics for maximum study is very important not
only for clearing JEE but also for getting a high rank. Lots of topics in
JEE syllabus require a huge lot of time, incomparable to that required
by other topics. Spending too much time on these topics and ignoring
other topics leads to drastic failure in rank.Lots of topics in JEE are
very easy and are of NCERT level.The key to topping JEE is to
maximize your scoring in these topics which boosts the rank. Many
such topics require considerably less time and is much much less than
the time required by certain other topics with proportionate marks.You
should spend more time on these topics and try to earn full marks in
such topics.I list a few of these topics:

MODERN PHYSICS AND ELECTRONICS :most of the questions easy
and similar to past JEE questions.

WAVE OPTICS :most of the questions are similar to past JEE
questions

INORGANIC CHEMISTRY AND GENERAL CHEMISTRY :most of the
questions are of NCERT level and are simple.

SOLID STATE :Most of the questions are very easy.

PROBABILITY AND DIFFERENTIATION :most of the questions are
simple and NCERT level.

DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS :most of the questions are similar to
past JEE questions.

By spending legible time on these topics ,the scoring in JEE will be
boosted and only will you clear JEE but also get a high rank.But
beware , don't neglect there other topics. In topics like mechanics,
electricity , physical chemistry and analytical geometry , if the
concepts are clearly understood then many of the questions pertaining
to these topics can be easily handled.My next topic discusses the
marks and the rank which can be expected with those marks.
Examination Strategies For IIT JEE

Revision related tips 

• About 20 days before the JEE Screening Test, start getting
acquainted with a wide variety of topics to improve the range of
numericals you can attempt. Do not attempt lengthy questions,
and focus instead on objective, numerical questions to practice
as many types of questions as you can. You should look at
breadth rather than depth in these 20 days.
• Revise all important concepts and formulae, so that they are on
your tips and come to you without any effort or thought.
• The screening paper gives equal weightage to all three subjects
– and so should your screening preparation.
• Remember - The screening test has negative marking for wrong
answers. So your familiarity with concepts will be crucial if you
take the calculated risk of logical guessing.
Things to keep in mind one day before the examination:
• You need at least 6-8 hours of sleep before the examination to
keep yourself fresh while solving questions.
• Eat a light meal so that you do not feel drowsy or lethargic
during the paper.
• Revise only those topics that you have studied earlier. Do not
start reading any new topics just before the examination, since
this will be a waste of time and you may lose the information
you have already grasped.
• You should reach the test center at least half an hour before the
exam and if you haven't seen the center before, then you must
go and visit the center on the day before the exam.
Note: If your examination center is in another city-
o Reach the city positively on the day before the exam.
o Ensure the place of your stay there is calm, clean and
conducive to study.
o In actuality it does not make any difference whether the
center is in your city or in some other city. So get the fear
of an unknown city out of your mind.
• Never go to the center on an empty stomach. Always keep
biscuits, fruits etc. handy.
• Some students complain of nausea or headache close to the test.
So keep relevant medicine handy.
• If you plan to ride your own vehicle to the center, ensure it is in
proper running condition and has enough fuel in its tank.
• If you do not have a vehicle, ensure a means of traveling that
reaches you to the center well in time, and give at least half an
hour of time for unforeseen delays like traffic jams and rush hour
traffic.
• Keep a wristwatch, your permission letter, a pen, two pencils
(sharpened at both ends), an eraser, a sharpener and other
relevant stationary systematically with you.
Some important points to keep in mind during the examination
General Instructions
• Synchronize your wristwatch with the center clock.
• Open your permission letter and keep it on your table.
• Do not use a red pen.
Points regarding presentation
• Start attempting the question paper only after reading the
instructions given on it very carefully.
• While attempting questions, go on segregating them by the A, B,
C method A :These questions are from topics that you have
prepared well, and you can clearly comprehend the meaning of
these questions. You have done questions containing similar
concept earlier and you are confident that you will be able to
solve these. B :You know you can solve these questions but they
are time-consuming, nevertheless you are confident you will be
able to crack them when you come back to them. These
questions should be attempted in the second round of question
attempting, i.e. when you have solved all questions marked with
a B. C :You don't know head or tail of these questions and you
should not waste time attempting them.
• Attempting to solve all questions in haste increases the chances
of error. It is better to solve slightly fewer questions faultlessly.
• Never attempt two questions at the same time. Concentrate on
one question at a time.
• Carry out all rough work only in the space given in the paper.
• If you need a diagram to understand questions in say physics or
coordinate geometry etc., do make one.
• Use the value of constants given in the paper in solving a
numerical. If the value is not mentioned, use the one you
remember.
• Give all three subjects equal time - i.e. 50 minutes each for
physics, chemistry and mathematics.
• While attempting the answers, do not shade the answer key
immediately. Instead, tick your response with a pencil 4 on the
answer key.
• Keep marking questions with A, B, C in the first round of solving
the paper. All questions should be segregated into one of these
three categories. This saves valuable time later.
• Fill out the answer key 30 minutes before final time. Fill out the
responses to questions attempted after this directly in the
answer key.
