Physics
- Study by practice. Never undertake rote learning or just going through a concept as this would make your learning ineffective.
- Practice as many questions as possible, keeping in mind the time availability. Also, keep assessing the time you take for every question on a regular basis. Solving questions in lesser time will give you a competitive edge over other candidates.
- As soon as you finish studying a chapter, practice related concepts on the same day to assess how much you have been able to learn and understand.
- Capitalize on your strengths and work on your weaknesses.
- Keep flashcards of important concepts and formulae with you. This will help you at the time of revision.
- Pay attention to topics that have a high weightage in the exam: Rotational motion, Thermodynamics and EMI.
Chemistry
- Chemistry is a subject that consists of a lot of equations and formulae. Understand the reaction mechanism well.
- It is important in this case to understand every concept in detail, instead of cramming them.
- Know the Periodic Table well, as this is one good scoring area.
- Pay specific attention to D-Block elements, F-Block elements and co-ordination compounds.
- Make regular notes while you study to retain whatever you studied effectively.
Mathematics
- Exhaustive practice of mock tests and concepts is recommended to perfect this section.
- Doubts in math should be resolved as soon as possible, as piling up the same would hamper the confidence of an aspirant.
- Refer to the previous year papers as well as sample papers to have an idea of the types questions asked in the actual exam.
- More than speed, focus on getting accurate answers. If you take a lot of time for a problem at first but get it right, try solving a similar problem and arriving at the solution in lesser time.
- Calculus based problems would require a lot of practice. As you practice, you will realize there are multiple ways of solving a question. Analyze various ways and stick to one method that is both effective and efficient.
Here are some general preparation tips that the JEE Advanced aspirants must follow:
- Study every day and make it a routine. Studying inconsistently will hamper your productivity, consequently your performance.
- Revise whatever you study on a regular basis. If you fail to do this, you might not able to retain most of what you study.
