Once you are familiar with the syllabus and exam pattern, make a realistic schedule which you can follow religiously. This timetable should cover all the important topics and chapters along with daily exercises. The study material apart from NCERT books should be your coaching video lectures, class notes or reference books suggested by your mentors. 4. While going through the chapters, try to make your own hand-written notes. These will be helpful at end-time revision. 5. Doubts can be your worst enemy. So, whenever you have a query clear it right away and say no to backlogs. Don't hesitate to ask questions. Make a habit of practicing questions every day. The more your practice, the better you become. 6. Once you have completed your syllabus, solve previous year question papers and sample papers for IIT-JEE. These papers tell you exactly about the framing of questions and how different topics can be integrated into one question.

Hi, Scoring 300+ marks is not that difficult. All you need to do is to pick up speed and do a dedicated amount of hard work while preparing. Assuming if you attempt all the 90 questions with utter confidence, you at least need to get 78 questions right. Sounds difficult? Just follow the below listed smart strategies, and you will achieve the same. Physics: You need to have strong conceptual knowledge. Rather than summing up the formulas and following the monotony, try thinking out of the box tips and tricks that would save your time. Chemistry: Chemistry is the best subject to score maximum marks. You should have a strong command over the molecular structure, inorganic chemistry, and chemical formula. However, to play smart, you can omit the chapters like Biomolecules, Polymers, Everyday Life, and Environmental Chemistry. Maths: You can even score 100% marks in Maths because the questions are elementary. Try solving more straightforward conceptual problems first so that you gain the confidence to solve the difficult ones later. You can leave some of the topics like 3D Geometry, Statistics, Mathematical reasoning, Vectors, Matrices, and Determinants. These are just some of the tips according to my perceptions. However, you can always go for such strategies which makes you more confident to crack the same. Just believe in yourself and go ahead. Good Luck!

If you want to score 300+ in Mains, then aim for a good rank in Advanced. There are a couple of points that won't be asked in Advanced but in Mains. If you join any coaching center, they will tell you where to focus on Mains & Advanced. Compose those down. Keep on planning for Advanced, and at the end of the year, you can focus on the chapters that are exclusive for Mains. And also, don't forget to give mock tests. Second Part: Purchase 36 years by Arihant (it has chapter wise earlier year questions) and when you are over with entire syllabus (class 11th and class 12th) increase your speed. This time will come when your class 12th is going to end. Third Part: Revising is the key. After you have done certain number of topics, just revise them. IIT isn't just about testing your ideas, it is also about recall (how well do you recall the things you read a couple of months ago). So, don't quit revising & solving previous year question papers. Selection of the Books: The books you select for your reference will either make things simple for you or troublesome. You can refer the following books: 1. DC Pandey and H C Verma are enough to build concepts in Physics. 2. SK Goal would be ideal for Maths (Algebra). Maths is a scoring subject and if you are referring to this book, you can easily score around 80% here. 3. NCERT, however, will remain your primary reference. Remember These Things: Training Institutes are for making you aware of the competition & preparing you for it. But at last, everything depends on you, self-study is what matters. Also, you have to be smart enough to manage your time. So, there is a need for smart work over hard work.

Hi, Students need to understand that like any other exam JEE also requires strategy and patience. The syllabus is too wide and attempts are less. This is enough to create a lot of pressure on young minds, but when such a situation arises, one should be smart about his/her studying pattern and question choice. Divide your daily hours into theory and question solving. Study for first half focusing on class 11th more than class 12th, as it is observed 45% questions are from class 11th syllabus and you lose touch with it once you start focusing on 12th standard and boards. Second half of your study should only be for question solving. Pick up questions from various test series available, books and previous exam papers. You may find it difficult initially but only solving questions after theory is going to prepare you for the big day. Time your question solving. Try to decrease this duration with time. This would improve with your concept improvement. As you know solving questions is not important, but solving a question within the stipulated time is something that will give you an edge over others. Also, move from easy to moderate in terms of question solving. One more thing is that you should be wise enough to skip the question, if it isn't giving you a lead within 40 seconds of picking it up. If you do not understand it within that time, trust me you don't need to waste your time over it. Focus on the subjects you understand the least and try to finish them first. In physics, some topics are expected. One knows questions will pop up from them. Topics like optics, kinematics, waves, magnetism, thermodynamics etc. are bound to be asked. In chemistry P, D & F Block, Molecular structure, Organic Chemistry and Coordination chemistry are must study topics. Be thorough with them. Maths requires everyday practice and topics like coordinate, calculus, trigonometry, quadratic, complex numbers and probability should be on your tips. Also be very patient and stop comparing yourself to anyone. You should be better than yourself a day later in your preparation. You will never be able to focus if you are burdened with the idea of exam being difficult and syllabus being lengthy. Lastly the most important is revision. Revise a topic within 14 days of completing it and then after a month. Just give it 1 hour at the time of revision but be clear with the concepts. After all these efforts, I am sure anyone would surely secure 300+ in JEE. All the best for the exam.
