IIT JEE, one of the most prestigious examinations of the country, has always been a hard nut to crack for aspirants. To pass the exam, candidates require not only a strong foundation in Physics, Maths, and Chemistry but also a strategic preparation plan and extensive hard work and dedication. The JEE main and advanced has come a long way in past few years with changed patterns and examination forms. Here, are some smart ways to prepare for IIT JEE.
Needless to say, IIT-JEE syllabus is as vast as the abyss. It order to crack the exam, make sure that you have good command equally on all three subjects. Certain topics have been given more weightage than others, so try to cover them first and divide your time accordingly.
Time is your most precious resource, you need to use the most of it. It is time management that can add smartness to your hard work. Here you need an effective planning to manage your time over 2 years of your preparation.
Did you know that you need only 21 days to turn a task into habit, no matter it is good or bad. Revising important formulae, concepts and equations is one such habit you should develop to turn your study plan effective. Forgetting formula and concepts is every second student’s problem, and for overcoming this, here is a great tip - develop a habit of revising them 30 minutes at night before going to bed and 15 minutes after waking up next morning. This practice is magical to memorize anything you find difficult.
Your study should be strategically planned with what to read, when to read and how much time will you take to finish a topic. Preparing a plan should be the first thing you should do after waking up in the morning. Spend a few minutes with diary, calendar, and pen to plan your day. Mark your priorities, and don’t forget to spare time for relaxation, yoga/exercise and meal time.
No matter how many hours you spend in coaching classes, or how many study materials you buy, you will have to give time for self-study, going through your lecture notes and these materials. The more you will devote your time to understanding the concepts, the better are your chances of achieving your target. Include NCERT books in your preparation which have always been recommended by all the toppers.
Next, comes the most important part of study i.e. problem solving which help you assess your preparation level as well as grip on concepts. Solve as many problems you can after going through a topic. The more you practice, the more you understand the concepts. The work is not finished yet, as going through solution and evaluation of wrong answers is also important.
Questions do never repeat, but IIT JEE exam tests for the same concepts year after year. Solving previous years’ question paper help you understand the question pattern and the preparation you will need to crack them. Besides, solving previous years’ questions boost the confidence.
I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand. You must have heard this Chinese proverb which applies in every field of life. You want to pass IIT JEE exam, you need to practice a lot to master your syllabus. Instead of practice blindly or single questions, take full-length time bound sessions.
Be steady in your preparation by keeping a positive attitude. All the best!
