PREPARATION TIPS TOWARDS YOUR JEE MAINS AND ADVANCED 2019 EXAMINATIONS

/in , , , , /by

To get a good rank in JEE and make to the IIT, you need to have a strategic planning that suits the present format of selection. The present format demands an all-round performance as it considers your Board Examination, JEE Mains and Advanced. Here are certain points that would help you.

  • Never neglect the N.C.E.R.T. books
    The N.C.E.R.T. books are written by some of the best brains of India and these books are quite precise and concise. Your preparation must start with N.C.E.R.T. books. Read these books thoroughly and solve all the back exercises. Also try the ‘exemplar problems’ for further practice of objective questions. Remember that reading and understanding the N.C.E.R.T. books are not the same thing.
  • Prepare well for your board examination – it does help your preparation towards JEE
    Though from last year, your Class XII marks will not be required for JEE Main & Advanced rank determination, its still important for you you to score well in your boards. You need to do your best for the Board. A solid preparation for Board does help the preparation for JEE Mains as both these examinations are conducted by CBSE. Unlike JEE Mains, Board Exam has subjective questions, so develop the habit of answering subjective questions.
  • Which is more important – how long or how much you should study?
    Honestly, neither of these; unless you know ‘how to study’. If you cram definitions and formulae, it hardly matters how long or how much you study. It is much better to understand and develop a clear concept. Once you know ‘how to study’ it would be wise to focus on how much topics you can cover up in a given time frame.
  • Plan for a week
    Don’t plan for a day as it may not be accomplished for any unavoidable event on that day (you might be sick). If you make a plan for a week,   you have other days to compensate. Make a realistic plan that you can achieve at the end of the week. Once the plan is realistic, you must not postpone it to the next week.
  • Slow but steady does not win the race
    Forget the story of ‘Hare and Tortoise’. Nowadays   the Hare does not sleep. Don’t be too slow as you have a lot to cover up in these two years. So, try to be fast and consistent. Make sure that you get at least four to five months for revision.
  • Learn from the mistakes in the tests
    There are many tests available, both offline and online. It is important to develop a habit of taking tests of the same format. What is more important is to learn from the mistakes made in those tests. If you can amend those mistakes after every test, your performance will show a gradual improvement all the way. This is the only way to close the gap between preparation and performance and improve the examination temperament.
  • Do not follow too many books or study materials
    Apart from N.C.E.R.T., it is important to follow one book thoroughly rather than following too many and completing none of them. The book followed must be authentic. It is better not to follow study materials of various institutions as they lay emphasis on one topic and completely ignore   the other. The new pattern wants you to read and comprehend every topic.
  • Don’t go beyond the syllabus and don’t leave a single topic in the syllabus
    All the questions asked in the JEE are from the prescribed syllabus. Some intelligent questions will check your ability to apply the concept but they are definitely not out of the syllabus. When you study from a foreign reference book, you may tend to learn topics that are not there in the syllabus. Cracking JEE is like crossing a river by a boat with maximum amount of load. If you take more than the prescribed limit, the boat will sink.
  • Keep a balance in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics
    You may not like one of the three subjects but examiner hardly cares what you like. All the three subjects have equal weight age in JEE. Therefore, study all of them with equal attention.
  • Make a revision plan
    Make a plan that suits your study pattern. Don’t start afresh before few weeks of examination. Do not try anything new just before the examination as this would waste your time and you may lose the information that you already grasped.
    Suppose you have eighteen days to prepare before the examination, you revise chemistry in first six days, physics in the next six days and mathematics in the last. It may happen you may not be able to recall some important points of chemistry after eighteen days revision. So, try to study at least two subjects per day.
    Let the pressure be on your study and not on yourself. Sleep well, eat light and stay calm to keep yourself fresh before the examination.

HOW BENEFICIAL JEE MAIN AND ADVANCED EXAM IN CBT MODE ?

/in , , , , /by

JEE Advanced 2019 , the entrance exam for premier IITs(Indian Institutes of Technology) will be conducted completely online, according to a decision taken by the Joint Admission Board (JAB) recently.Until now the JEE Advanced pattern included two offline papers, namely paper -1 and paper – 2, that were conducted on the same day. Each paper comprises of questions from Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics taken from Class XI & XII syllabus to be completed within 3 hours each.

The JEE Main admission to academic session 2019-2020 will be conducted by NTA ,it is the single window for getting admission to the NITs, IIITs & the Govt. Funded Technical Institutions. IIT aspirants must clear the JEE Advanced exam with a good score to join the premier IITs.

The transition from offline to online(CBT) mode took place with an aim to promote digital consumption of education, might have left many students upset.

Though aspirants need not panic as the following advantages should be kept in mind while preparation:

  • Saves time – with the elimination of encircling the correct option in the OMR sheets, online method will be much easier to choose the correct answer from thereby saving a lot of time. Students can utilize this time efficiently to apply themselves better while answering.
  • Easy to review – Earlier the candidates needed to keep an eye on the questions that can be answered but needed time to solve. But with the advent of online pattern, the answer panel will include all the questions – attempted as well as marked as review for later. This will be helpful in reviewing the difficult questions later on, with ease off access.
  • Answer modification – with the option to re-edit the answers in case the student feels may be incorrect provides the greatest of the advantages unlike encase of offline papers where the answers once marked cannot be altered.
  • Time Management – though this pattern may be new, but with enough practice while attempting the mock tests, students can limit their time and analyze how the expenditure of time could be managed effectively. Plan the total test time accordingly with time allotment for revision as well.
  • Watch your speed – while appearing for JEE advance 2018 online paper, students must feel confident enough to speed up their answering method. But be careful not to overlook or be overconfident as that may lead to negative marking.
  • Technical aspects – It should be noted that the sheets should be saved after answering each and every question and remember to submit the response sheet only after completing the paper.  In case of any technical problem, do not panic and immediately notify to the invigilator for assistance. Extra time will be allotted in such cases where delay is caused in fixing up the same. In case of ambiguity in any question do not go for an attempt.
  • Focused preparation – There is not much difference in the way of preparation but due to the panic on online exam, many students may get nervous. It is advised not to panic and stay focused in their preparation as constant revision and multiple attempts to model examinations will help them achieve their goals.
  • Choose reliable online portals – there are many online portals and hence students can choose from a reliable source to have a good practice prior to exams. Online practice portal not only helps with practicing for online pattern not only diminishes the chances of mistakes due to inexperience but also provides analysis that helps in better preparation – which subject to focus on, improving on the weak topics etc.

MATHEMATICS STUDY METHODS AND PROBLEM SOLVING TIPS FOR JEE ASPIRANTS

/in , , , , /by

Mathematics is a subject that you cannot avoid. Some love it but, if we’re being honest, most people hate studying maths. The importance of maths for students has never been greater. STEM subjects are the basis for technologies of tomorrow. Most university courses include some level of maths while almost every profession uses maths in some form on a daily basis. The problem many students have is that they don’t know how to study maths to get good results.

Some Problem Solving Tips for Maths :

Practice, Practice & More Practice :

It is impossible to study maths properly by just reading and listening. To study maths you have to roll up your sleeves and actually solve some problems.  The more you practice answering maths problems, the better. Each problem has its own characteristics and it’s important to have solved it in numerous ways before tackling the exam. There is no escaping this reality, to do well in a Maths exam you need to have solved a LOT of mathematical problems beforehand.

Review Errors :

When you’re practising with these problems, it’s important to work through the process for each solution. If you have made any mistakes, you should review them and understand where your problem-solving skills let you down. Understanding how you approached the problem and where you went wrong is a great way of becoming stronger and avoiding the same mistakes in the future.

Master the Key Concepts :

Do not try to memorise the processes. This is counter-productive. It is much better and rewarding in the long-run to focus on understanding the process and logic that is involved. This will help you understand how you should approach such problems in the future.

Remember that Maths is a sequential subject so it’s important to have a firm understanding of the key concepts that underpin a mathematical topic before moving on to work on other, more complex solutions which are based on understanding the basics.

(Remember: Maths requires time and patience to master)

It is a good idea to study with a friend who you can consult with and bounce ideas off when trying to solve complex problems.

Create a Distraction Free Study Environment :

Mathematics is a subject that requires more concentration than any other. A proper study environment and a distraction free area could be the determining factor when solving complex equations or problems in geometry, algebra or trigonometry!

Apply Maths to Real World Problems :

As much as possible, try to apply real-world problems when approaching maths. Maths can be very abstract sometimes so looking for a practical application can help change your perspective and assimilate ideas differently.

Probability, for example, can be used in everyday life to predict the outcome of something happening and determine whether you want to take a risk such as if you should buy a lottery ticket or gamble.

Oh and don’t forget that it’s also important to have confidence in yourself and face the exam knowing that you have prepared properly!
