What should be my preparation strategy to crack JEE Advanced in one year?

Question

Akhil Chandra · Answer

Based on the individual subjects, here is what you should do and where you can focus upon a bit more: Physical Chemistry: Remember the formulae and practise the questions. Focus: Thermodynamics. Inorganic Chemistry: Do a little bit of reading from the start so you are in touch with it constantly. Focus: Analytical Chemistry. Organic Chemistry: It also demands constant and regular efforts. Focus: Reaction Mechanisms. Mathematics: Make a chart of all the formulae. Practice a great deal. Remember 3 Ts: Tips, Tricks and Techniques for each topic. Focus: Calculus. Physics: Remember the concepts and practise the questions. Focus: Mechanics. Tips for preparing for JEE Advanced 2018: You must understand that there is no such thing as an important topic. All topics are important, questions can be set from any topic. You just have to do your best. Since you have time, don't leave any topic unattended. While practising, highlight the questions which you find tricky and conceptual for future reference. Every day, cover topics from all the three subjects. It helps you to maintain a balance right from the start. Make a schedule which would work on eliminating your weak links and strengthening your strong ones. Try to stick to it. After topic wise revision, you should start with the test series, online or offline, quite early. As it creates an exam-like environment, you would come to know your mistakes and shortcomings and you can work upon them. JEE Advanced is all about quality and not quantity. It is better to focus on things and get a better understanding than having a basic idea of all the topics. If you have decided to study for IIT JEE Advanced in 1 year. Stay motivated: A major obstacle in the path of your glory of JEE Advanced will be the difficulty to stay motivated throughout. One year is a very long time. Most people usually fall prey to distractions, deviate from the track and lose interest. It is very late by the time they realize a lot of time have been wasted by them and the ball remains no longer in their court. If you are easily distracted, it is advisable to join a coaching centre or enrol for test series. If you couldn't clear JEE Advanced in the first attempt, take it as a challenge, perhaps your first learning of life. Trust yourself. With hard work everything is possible. All the very best.

Determination and dedication are the two main Ds which one should have in plenty. It's the mind which helps you achieve whatever your dreams or goals are and at the same time acting on it. To preparae for JEE Advanced in one year, candidates must consider the following: Make formulae sheets along with your preparation, you can also use 100 marks mind maps. Keep marking tricky questions to look upon at the time of revision. Always solve questions in time constraints. It is not at all necessary to attempt questions in a specific order, start with the easiest. You only have 1 year, focus on problem-solving tactics rather than analysis of questions. If a reverse approach is easy then use it rather than following full solution procedure. Go with few books, clear your basics and keep yourself attached to the school curriculum. Study all three subjects daily, you may decide timings according to your convenience and do it consistently and eventually, you will surely secure a good rank. 9. Have faith in yourself. There will be times when you would find it difficult to understand and manage things. Do not give up. That is the point where many aspirants give up and finally fail. Keep giving your best, even if you feel like you aren't getting any output. Remember, hard work pays forever.

This question makes sense considering you already prepared properly for JEE Mains and now preparing for advance or took a drop year for the same. So the answer will be assuming you already prepared for Mains (otherwise it will be really difficult to start from scratch and crack JEE Advance in 1 year). So the most important thing is clarity of concepts and their efficient application to the problems. If you have prepared properly for JEE Mains then you would have both the required things to a good extent. Now you just need to hone your skills further. So start solving higher level problems from each chapter. The books I recommend are: Physics: Concepts of Physics Vol I and II by H.C. Verma Problems in General Physics by I.E. Irodov Fundamentals of Physics by Halliday, Resnick and Walker First finish HC Verma and make sure you understand how you are solving the problems then move to other two books. Maths: Maths XI & XII by R.D. Sharma Higher Algebra by Hall and Knight Problems in Calculus of One Variable by I.A. Maron Books by Cengage publications are also good. Chemistry: Physical Chemistry by O.P. Tandon Chemistry XI and XII by NCERT Organic Chemistry by O.P. Tandon So these books can efficiently make you understand how you are solving the problem and why are you doing a particular step in an answer. It is all about understanding concepts and applying them effectively which will come through lots of dedicated practice. Once you are done with the portions, make sure you give a lot of mock tests. After each mock carefully analyze each test and see where you are making mistakes and try to learn from it. Make sure you join some reputed coaching's test series for Advance. Don't ignore time management as well. So remain focused and dedicated for one year and make sure you never slack off in between.

Hello, first of all get good books of all the subjects. Try clearing all the concepts that you find a little bit tough. Immense practice is what one requires to crack JEE Advanced. Solve various question papers every now and then, try finding questions that require a multi-step approach to solve. In case of any difficulty, ask your doubts, it is necessary to have your doubts cleared. Once you master a topic, solve as many tough questions as you can. Follow a strict schedule and don't waste much time on Social media for approximately 1 year - for it will decide, in which college you will get admission. At the same time, don't study too long, take 5-10 minute breaks every hour. Remember, it is not hard to crack JEE Advanced, it requires planned efforts. Crystal clear concepts from Organic chemistry and Immense practice of the multi-level thinking sums is only way to crack JEE Advanced. And as soon as exams are approaching start reading from the notes that you have made by yourself containing all the important formulas. Hope this helps! All the best for your preparation!

Yes, you can crack JEE in year. You should work very hard for that.Also SMART WORK will fetch you a good rank. Here is the detailed strategy: 1.First of all you need to make plans and must implement the same in your daily routine. 2.Your main focus should be on maths.Spend half of your study time on maths.Mark important chapters from which JEE ask more questions.Chapters like Vector-3D ,matrices and co-ordinate geometry are very scoring. leave the chapters which are time taking and less scoring. Books you may prefer: - Cingage and coaching sheets. 3.Chemistry will help you to crack JEE.Less time taking and scoring.Study chemistry 1-2 hrs daily.Ncert is enough for chemistry.But you have to digest every single line of NCERT. Books you may prefer: - JD LEE for inorganic theory, for physical chemistry you may prefer RC Mukharjee.You may prefer books of NA Avasthi and VK Jaiswal for problems in inorganic and physical chemistry.And MCQ book of MS Chauhan for organic. 4.For physics use rest of the time.Focus on 12th class portion.Its easy to score. Books you may prefer:- HC Verma, Irodove. 5.In the last 2 months ,muggup all the formulas and chemical reaction mechanism.Start solving last 15 years questions. 6-Stay away from social media ,friends and relatives except your mom and dad or shiblings , concentration should be at peak during classes. Don't play outdoor games ,it may drain your energy.Eat healthy foods. 7.- Never loose hope,just think that 'I CAN and I WILL'. Hope it helped. :)

Dear, Firstly, you need to cover your syllabus and revise at least 4 times before JEE Mains. Maintain a time table which should give 1 hour per subject and take a self-test every day in night time and note down the time that at what time you would complete the test. Next day, ask your teachers about all the doubt. You can take a meditation session while morning and evening for 15 mins, it will help you to concentrate on your study and focus too. All the best!
