How to avoid common mistakes in JEE?

Hello, JEE - Joint Entrance Examination is a national level examination conducted for admission into undergraduate programmes in engineering and architecture. It is divided into 2 parts namely JEE Mains and Advanced. JEE Mains has 2 papers, one for architecture and one for engineering. It is used for admission Into IITs, NITs, IIITs and GFTIs. It is really a competitive and one of the top examinations for engineering admission in India. So obviously the difficulty will be high. JEE Advanced is really tougher than JEE Mains. For JEE Main, you will have 90 questions to complete in 3 hours. Each correct answer will be awarded 4 marks and - 1 for a wrong answer. The questions are from PCM only based on classes 11th & 12th syllabi (NCERT). The simple answer to the question is practice, practice, practice. You need to practice many problems of different models so that you will be able to solve any type of problem with confidence and without doubts. The common mistakes like miscalculation, improper understanding, etc. arise only because of the lack of practice. You can solve many model test papers of JEE, NCERT and also the TMH and Arihant test papers. They involve good quality of questions which are helpful for JEE preparation and other exams too. The previous year question papers would also help you to get an idea of how the questions are asked in JEE. Focus on what you do and do with dedication. All the best!

IIT is the dream of many candidates who left behind everything to make their dream true and a little mistake and lack of proper guidance give a bitter taste to the candidate result. Here are the few common mistakes that a candidate do during their preparation:- 1. Never underestimate NCERT e.g.; in 2016 3 questions asked from Biomolecules chapter 14 from chemistry 12th and true line is mentioned in NCERT book. 2. Never try to collect a lot of books if you want to refer only one side book because going through the different book may confuse you. 3. Try to miss less classes no matter where you are studying because may be a class which you missed. 4. Don't spend too much time on the social network. 5. Try to avoid foreign writer book such as Irodov, Resnick and Walker series because in many cases you may get confused instead of learning. 7. Never compare yourself with the weak student and be in touch with a good student. 8. Don't worry about future just go with your preparation and be ready to face anything. 9. Don't use a calculator during maths calculation because it may decrease your speed. 10. Never lose hope and believe in yourself. I hope these highlights of common mistakes will help you to solve and score good marks.

There are few things to remember for avoiding these so called silly mistakes. 1. Remain calm during the exam. Practice it during the mocks itself. 2. Do not do any last minute preparations (just before the exam). My advice is that don't study anything at least the day before the exam. Even if you want to then make sure at least don't study the night before the exam. 3. Get proper sleep before the exam. If your mind is not fresh, you will surely make some silly mistakes. 4. Don't eat too much before the exam as it can make you a bit sleepy and lousy. So, make sure you have a light breakfast before the exam. You should have enough food so that you don't feel hungry even after one hour of the exam. 5. Most important now, while solving the mocks, analyse your answers closely while checking the paper. See where you are making silly mistakes and make sure you learn from them. 6. Give a lot of timed mock tests as in the real exam, you are prone to make silly errors under time pressure if you are not used to it. So keep calm and ace the exam. All the best.

Avoiding mistakes are also a part of exam preparation. In case of JEE we often make some common mistakes which in fact lead to waste years of hard work and commitment. It's very important to point out common mistakes and encounter them. A mistake which occurs due to the calculation is quite popular. One can't make the strategy to avoid it. You need a lot of practice and have to take these mistake right from the beginning. You need to improve and work on these mistakes. I have seen some students bubble the wrong answer which is quite irritating.They repeat the same mistakes again and again. My brother did it in IIT paper. Points you should keep in your mind to avoid common mistakes: 1.Try to figure out the most usual mistake which you do on regular basis.This can be done through review tests.Try not to repeat these mistakes in the next paper. 2. Keep your mind calm while doing calculations. 3. Fill OMR sheets after solving 5 questions. 4. Take your time to fill all the personal details. 5. Check the question number and section before bubbling. Even a single mistake can kick you out of the competition so take it very seriously. Hope it helped.

Hi, I would like to share my personal experience here. I was practicing mock tests daily started before a month to JEE Mains. There was one question from topic Functions of mathematics (which was my favorite subject) in that mock test which my friend couldn't solve and I solved it perfectly within 10 seconds. After the test and marks calculations, we used to discuss the doubts. I explained him that question of Functions and he understood. On the day of JEE Mains, I was pretty surprised to see the very first question being the same question of Functions. I was very confident about that question and started solving the same, and I stuck somewhere. I couldn't find out my mistake and I continued to struggle. In that matter, unknowingly I lost my first 20 seconds! There I lost my confidence for a minute. What I can say is, avoid being overconfident even if the question seems so silly. Avoid losing your confidence irrespective of whatever happens in the exam. Breathe in and breathe out slowly for a minute which will take you to a relaxed condition. While marking the bubbles (in both written and online exam), make sure that you are marking the same answer that you have got through calculations. Otherwise, a very common mistake is getting an answer 0.3 and marking it as 0.03. Changing the subjects while answering must be avoided as connectivity with a particular subject is lost.
