How can I crack JEE Advanced in 1 month?

Question

Gurleen Singh · Answer

Cracking IIT-JEE Advanced exam needs more than 2 years on an average. But I guess if one is caught up in a circumstance where they don't have more than a month to prepare, one can put a fight to it. It will need more than hard work, it will demand smart work from you. So let's see what it'll take to crack JEE in a month. It gets down to three crucial points. (I am assuming that the person carrying on this voyage has already cleared his/her Mains exam and knows all the rudiments of all the topics). 1. Chemistry is the key to get a good score. It needs lesser effort compared to the other two subjects and it is very scoring. So one must study the chemistry NCERT book very meticulously, atleast twice in the 30 days. 2. Attempt previous year IIT-JEE question papers and try to do atleast 1 paper in every two days (or maybe a paper every day). Starting from the latest paper and moving backwards. Bingo, at the end of a month you have solved 15 year's question papers (atleast). 3. The most important part while attempting point number 2 is scrutinizing your test and checking for the scope of improvement. If you're not so good at mechanics or calculus, you should probably give more time to it and keep revising these areas to score well. PS: If it motivates you anyhow, I started preparing for my IIT exam in my 12th grade from scratch in late August and got almost 1700 rank in 6 months with 8-hour study every day. Do the maths, you've got a month, study for 16 hours, you will get a good 5000 rank.

Greetings from SHIKSHA. Cracking JEE Advanced is not that much tough but not much that easy. Since if you have clear JEE Mains with good marks then it can help you much because almost 90 % syllabus is same of Advanced and Mains. The paper pattern is complex in Advanced. The reason that why the student who is having very well marks in JEE Mains but cannot cracked JEE Advanced is that the student knows the concept but the practice of JEE Advanced Complex Pattern is lacking in the Students. So, first parameter to crack JEE Advanced in one month is to practice the answer marking system of JEE Advanced. Try to revise the concepts which you were able to crack in JEE Mains, This can help you score more. Other than this, try to focus more on Chemistry than Mathematics and then lastly the physics. Chemistry subject can score you better in lesser time due to theoretical concepts. Try to select some of your favorite and interested topics in Mathematics which can help you score better and try to select least and easy topics in physics for some good score in physics part.

Here are a few plans for cracking JEE Advanced after passing JEE Mains for getting selected in IITs: 1.Leave all the tensions and excitement of JEE Mains result behind. Sprucing up self-belief will help you to bolster your position in this critical period. 2.Revise as much as you can. Focus on all the concepts you have learned in the past two years and mastered in these days. 3.Even solving the last five years' papers of JEE Advanced will prove to be a great tune-up to your result. These will give you a good practice for the final day and you will also get a chance to analyze your preparation level. 4.At this stage, it is best to consolidate your position by working on your strengths rather than trying to muster up the courage to take on your weak areas. 5.Stay away from those chapters you have not done at all in the past at this stage. Do not fall to the temptation of solving some test series which are notorious for being way above the JEE-Advanced level. 6.Be mentally prepared for any exam centre as you may not necessarily get a centre of your choice. Above all, always remember that this exam is not the end of the world and there are a lot of opportunities that are in store for you. "Positivity is the key to success. Never say No. You can do it if you believe in it." All the best!

The simple and straightforward answer would be that you cannot. JEE can be cracked only after persistence efforts and preparations for at least one year. Even the toppers whom people call genius put inexplicable efforts for two years to get where they are. Even the ones who are born geniuses have to work for more than one month to get a decent rank in JEE Advanced. So, forget about cracking Advanced in 1 month (you can't even crack Mains in that much time). 1 month is barely enough for revision and mock tests alone so you can only revise for Mains in one month not prepare for the entire exam. I would suggest others to at least start preparing two years before the exam and put in persistent efforts to "crack" the exam. For those who have one month left and didn't do anything till now try for state CETs or take a drop and put your heart and soul into the preparation and maybe you will make it to the other end. Last note, JEE is an exam that has to be taken seriously if you want to get into premier institutes. So, go into self-evaluation mode and think what you want and then whether you want to prepare or not.

Hello Students, First of all, we all must remember the adage "Nothing is gained without attempting". How true is that in this present situation! Instead of ruing over lost time, start preparing right away. Nothing is impossible in this world. What only matters is with how much intensity you are approaching the issue. Obviously, if you have only one month time of preparation, your motivation levels have to be super high. You must begin by assigning time for each subject every day. You must assign time for exercise and Pranayam every day even if it is 15 minutes, it's required. Then we all know that it's impossible to study 24 hours a day. Hence, you must spend some time after each session of intense studies by indulging in relaxing activity. It could be singing, painting, listening to music, walking in garden anything. Let me assure that this helps a great way in studies. After having done this, it's also must to have session of mock exam and papers being evaluated to know about weak areas. I would strongly advise to take help of coaching classes for knowing tricks in solving questions in this high octane exam. If you do all this and some more with due sincerity, I am sure you will be able to crack the exam. Best wishes.

If you are asking that question, chances are that you have been preparing for JEE Mains and Advanced since a lot of time now and you want to know the strategy for the last one month before the exam. Here, I would say do the following: Take 1 mock test per week. Now, at this time you should be well versed with all the topics and should only be practicing. While taking mock tests, make sure that you take the test as close to the real test time as possible so that your body gets used to it. Download OMR sheet from the net and practice circling the options while taking mocks. Once you have taken the mock, spend the rest of the week to check what all answers you got wrong and revise those concepts. One week before the exam don't take any mock. De-stress yourself and play any sport you like for 1 hour each day for the whole month. A healthy mind resides in a healthy body. If you have no physical exercise, your body and mind both will become lethargic. Last but not the least, do not study any new concept in the last 1-month of your preparation because you won't be able to practice it and it will only confuse you. All the best!

One cannot literally crack exam like JEE Advanced in one month.Theoretically, JEE paper is designed for long-term hard work and syllabus is vast and tough as well. IIT JEE Advanced is one of the toughest entrance examination of India. Even after two years of immense hard work, there is a possibility of failure. But if you are exceptionally talented then the things may be different. Nothing is impossible on this planet. But you have to put all your efforts for that. You need to do a lot of preparation in just a single month. Points you should follow for the best outcome: 1. Study for about 16-17 hours in a day. Seems too much but time is very limited in your hand. 2.Make plans, choose important as well as easy topics. 3.Focus more on chemistry. Prefer NCERT book for that. 4.Solve one or two previous years papers.This will give the idea of time management and quality of questions asked. All the best!

Zubin Mehta · Answer

During your preparation, divide the available time equally among all subjects. All the subjects will carry roughly weightage in relation to qualifying marks. Physics requires a lot of revision as even minor facts from nooks and corners of the syllabus may be asked. Given the vast syllabus, it is better if aspirants revise Physics at least 5-6 days before the date of exam. It is found that many students face problems dealing with multiple choice questions (MCQs) even if they have prepared quite well. Practice in solving MCQ scan help greatly in this. Solving MCQs from the various practice books available in the market would be a wise decision. Make sure that you solve previous years papers and sample papers for JEE. It would give you an idea of how the paper might be. Timing your sessions to 3 hours and simulating exam day conditions can also be a good exercise while preparing for the exam. JEE mathematics exam has been found to be lengthy many a times. Hence it is important that you improve your speed-solving skills. Solve as many questions as possible before the exam, and make sure to progressively enhance your speed by timing the working time for each problem. Always remember that it is good practice to routinely take breaks from preparation as this will help in releasing all that accumulated tension and stress. This quality might prove very useful as the exam day approaches. It is important to always maintain your calm and put your best into the preparation without being concerned about the result. Every day 9 hours of study is recommended. Keep the last 10 days for revision of mistakes conducted in mock exams.

IIT-JEE cannot be cracked in 1 month, 90% of the time. If you are exceptionally talented, then yes, you can. Let's discuss the 90% situation first. It's 90% because JEE is not designed to be cracked in 1 month. JEE requires constant hard work. And there's no short cut. You can get the cue for board exams by looking at past years' exams but JEE changes every year. You will get a new pattern each year. Also, if you are in general category, you have plain bad luck. The number of seats for the general category has remained same over the years but the number of students fighting for them has risen. You can only give your best shot and hope for the best. Now let's go the 10% part. You will have to study at break neck speed for 20-22 (theoretically) hours a day and have to retain 95% of what you study and should be able to apply concepts of same in tricky questions in the exam. If you crack JEE, you HAVE to crack with VERY GOOD marks so as to get a good rank. If you get a good rank, you can get your preferred stream into your preferred college. If you are from SC/ST/OBC, the lady luck may smile on you as well. The number of students fighting here for seats is less than general category so you have a better chance.
