Revise thoroughly your Notes and don’t read anything new. Don’t read anything 4 days before the big day to relieve you from tension. Be confident and cool.

 In the exam hall after getting the paper first read the whole paper quickly. It will give you a rough idea about the questions to be attempted.

Dont try to do the complete paper rather try to do the questions correctly in which you are confident, this will reduce negative marking. make some targets that I have to do these number of questions in this much time. Students generally try to attempt the whole paper and make mistakes in hastle.

Do only those questions in first attempt in which you are very much sure and which are not lengthy. attempt rest of the questions in the 2nd attempt if time permits.

Mark the questions in the first attempt which you feel that you can do this but it will take time. then do these marked questions in 2nd attempt if time permits

Conclusion is do less questions but do it correctly.

1.DEVOTE MOST OF YOUR TIME IN JEE PREPARATION.

2.WHEN YOU ARE ATTENDING A CLASS BE VERY ATTENTIVE ,IT WILL NOT ONLY HELPYOU FOR BOARDS MOREOVER JEE IS ALSO ASKING QUESTIONS FROM N.C.E.R.TTHESE DAYS.

3.SET A TARGET OF TOPICS YOU HAVE TO COVER EACH DAY.(YOU NEED TO BE VERYSYSTEMATIC)

4.IF YOU HAVE JOINED ANY COACHING CLASS ,TRY TO COMPLETE ITS WORK.

5.IOF YOU ARE AVERAGE STUDENT SCHOOL SHOULD BE YOUR SECOND PRIORITY.

6.FOLLOW YOUR TEACHER.

7.TAKE YOUR PROGRESS IN CLASS AS YOUR ACTUAL PROGRESS.

8.IF YOU HAVE NOT JOINED ANY COACHING GO FOR A CORRESPONDENCE COURCE.

9.PRACTICE MORE AND MORE OBJECTIVE PROBLEMS (TRY NOT GIVING MORE THEN2MIN. TO EACH QUESTION).

10.,PRACTISE,ASSIMILATION AND SELF ASSISMENT IS KEY TO SUCESS IN JEE

If you believe you can then absolutely Yes !!!

It is always possible to crack IIT-JEE in 8 months but do not take this lightly becaus ethere are students who are toiling for this particular examination for 2 years !!

So you have to double you Preparation Time in order to compete with them !!

Prepare for atleast 12-13 hours a day for IIT-JEE alone ....& do it wholeheartedly & sincerely !!

Give Equal Time for Chemistry,Mathematics & Physics !

An Ideal Time Table can have the Time Allotment for the PCM Subjects as so

Mathematics-5 hours

Physics- 4 Hours

Chemistry- 4 Hours

Never leave a Subject !!! Always prepare all the 3 subjects together simultaneously !

2) Always BUILD UP Always start from BASICS because “without base, there will be no altitude” and “journey of a RIGHT & APPROPRIATE BASICS.

3) Never prefer solutions of questions before doing SELF-ATTEMPT at least five times till you get the right answer because “without fall you can not stand at once”.

4) Never leave the question in between. 

5) Always try a question with CONCEPTUAL APPROACH, not just read the question then start doing without getting the point that what question is saying.

6) Your study schedule should be such that you will even easily get the time for a little enjoyment daily.

7) Most important thing is that you should be having a time schedule as well as REGULARITY in study.

8) Also you will have to take appropriate sleep or rest of at least 6 hours a day if you are preparing for IIT-JEE otherwise your mind set-up for next day will not be in place.

9) Never cram the things, always TRY TO UNDERSTAND the problem or theory.

10) And BE CONFIDENT while you are preparing. NEVER LOSE CONFIDENCE.

11) Always keep contact with intelligent students of your class or at coaching centre.

12) For your brain storming, I always preferred MTG publications monthly magazine in maths part.

13) Always be AHEAD in exams

14) Always keep the copy of latest syllabus for particular exam. Always check the syllabus before starting a new topic.

15) NEVER GET DEMORALIZED BY SOMEBODY but yes ALWAYS GET INSPIRED FROM SOMEBODY WHO IS YOUR SENIOR. (If you want, contact me)

16) Whenever you complete any chapter or particular topic, first of all, go through that topic from NCERT. (It’s very important).

Thus for the benefits of the student community (or any body who is interested in learning the art of the problem solving) I have presented below a sequence of steps that, if followed, can immensely help in solving questions in Physics and Maths.

PART-1:

• Read The Question/Problem carefully.
• Identify what is being asked.
• Make a list of knowns and unknowns.
• Note carefully the information given.(Sometimes, some informations which are part of general-knowledge are not specifically given.Note such relevant informations-if any.)
• Sketch a neat diagram or a rough graph to aid your thinking.(Diagrams and graphs should be drawn in such a way that they describe the situation of the problem clearly.)
• If you can make an estimate of the final solution (by reasoning or some logical guess!), then you must do that. Because at the end when you actually get your answer by solving the problem then you can check the truthfulness of your answer by comparing it with your estimate.

PART-2 :

• Write a verbal description of relationship among all quantities.
• Write all relevant formulae known to you involving known and unknown quantities.
• Examine similar problems to see if their solution techniques are applicable.
• Look for a pattern so that you may think upto many steps ahead of your calculations.
• You may start with a special simpler case to gain insight.
• Sometimes a problem may be broken into two or more number of non-overlaping cases and each case may be solved separately.

PART-3:

• DO all calculations according to your decided plan.
• Check your solution with your estimate and graph. Does it make sense? Does it seem resonable?

If every thing seems fine, then you have got your solution

1. Keep It Simple, Stupid – There is nothing more you can do in last week before JEE. So, the important rule is – Don’t do anything new, silly or stupid. Keep things simple. Stay confident. Try to console yourself that you tried your best to do whatever could have been done in the last 2/3 years. Assume it to be true even if it is not. The idea is to stay positive.
2. Don’t do anything new -  It is very important that you restrict yourself from doing anything new. A lot of students think that they will get benefits from doing new questions at the last moment and they buy books related to Mock JEE exams and for many of you out there, it may be quite depressing. That doesn’t mean you know lesser concepts but it is very difficult to decide whether the “being” tested Mock exams are of JEE quality actually or not.
3. Simulate JEE conditions – Please ensure that you are taking 2 sittings of 3-3.5 hours each as in JEE exam at 9-12 and 2-5 PM. Wake up on time (early morning), go to bed in time and have a good sleep of 8-9 hours every day. Everyday should be treated as JEE day.
4. Stay fresh and healthy – There is nothing like a relaxed, cool and fresh mind in this extremely tough, competitive and tensed world. So, try your best to behave as one (atleast try to behave) and your performance will come naturally. Don’t get into any mess with anybody at your home, neighbors or friends, whatever the case may be. Try to behave as smiley and you will feel nature’s energy into you. Think good and only good will happen automatically. Eat healthy and fresh food. Fruits and Salad are always good for health. So, prefer them over junk food or heavily fried food. Go for a morning walk to let fresh energy circulate in you.
5. What should be revised ? – Revise some concepts from your class copy, revision (may be Formulas) copy, have a look at previous years JEE questions, your institute’s Test Series. The idea is to do what you have already done. All you need to do is to keep the momentum up. Thinking about too many things deviates from your main aim (JEE). We need to keep ourselves aligned towards our aim.
6. On the Exam day – Try to reach your exam centre one hour before the scheduled time. Don’t get panicked or create panic in any case if you stuck in jam. Stay calm and think about alternatives. It is always advised to go and see your exam centre location a day before your exam. It always helps.

Whatever happens, don’t get involved in the Paper – 1 discussion during the 2 hour break with anybody (be it parents, friends and especially the most dangerous, unknown students and their parents). Don’t eagerly start estimating your marks or the number of attempts. If you have done good or bad in Paper-1, you already know that. Don’t get too much attached with this. The negativity of not able to attempt those many questions as somebody else or wrongly solving some easy questions sucks a lot of energy and this process is irreversible.
If possible, try to keep yourself away from exam centre during the break. It is always good to revise some basic and important formulas for 30 minutes during this time. It helps keep the momentum going and nobody will try to disturb you while you are revising those.
Bring a water bottle and some chocolates with you. If you feel anxious in the initial phases of the exam, have some water. It brings down anxiety and increases concentration. If you feel low in energy, have some chocolate for instant energy.

Last but not the least – Believe in God and luck. In this world, some of the things will never be explained by science. They can only be felt within without any mathematical or scientific reasoning. Let and feel that very cosmic energy within you.

The format of JEE papers keeps changing. However, for the last three years, the format has included two separate papers of three hours each. Both these papers include three sections on physics, chemistry and mathematics. The questions in these papers are of the senior-secondary academic level expected at the stage. Each section includes questions under different headings.

MASTER MATHEMATICS
To score in mathematics, you need to have the ability to solve simple, stereotypical questions, as well as challenging and complex problems that you might have to face unexpectedly.

Before you solve a problem, you must:
(a) Identify exactly what needs to be answered
(b) Identify the data and conditions that will guide you to the answer.
(c) Visualise the problem mentally and, if needed draw a sketch or diagram from the given data and write the appropriate symbols and equations.

1. While attempting questions, try not to make any particular problems a prestige issue. Hence, if you are unable to solve the problem within a reasonable amount of time, you should skip the question and move on. Always remember that there may be simpler problems awaiting you
2. Don’t be tempted to guess the answer to a question. It may prove costly if there is negative marking.
3. Also, always try and attempt some mock question papers in a simulated environment before the D-day. In fact, there are many online test that provide useful mock practice test for students. One such website is www.testmate.in

Step-wise problem solving skills

1. Read and understand the problem clearly — (a) What am I supposed to find? (b) What am I solving for? (c) What data and conditions have been provided?


2. Develop and carry out a plan of action — (a) Have I ever solved a similar problem? (b) What strategy should be followed? (c) How do I apply the skills needed to implement a strategy?


3. Find the answer and check it — (a) Does the proposed solution seem to be reasonable? (b) Does the proposed solution need to be checked? In multiple choice questions or multiple-answer questions, try to identify the choices that cannot be correct or choices that immediately follow from the other choices.

PREPERATION FOR PHYSICS

              The format of the physics section in the JEE question paper changes every year. Subject problems, which involve details solutions, have been dispensed with. For the first time, in JEE-2007, questions based on paragraph, assertion-reason type questions and questions on matrix matching were included. IN JEE-2008; MCQs with more than one correct choice were included in the paper.

Studying tips

1. Learn the definitions and formulae in each chapter first. It is essential to understand the assumptions involved in deriving a formula. The technique and mathematical tools and logic used must be clearly recognized and understood.
   
2. Write down important formulae in a separate notebook. Also, make a note of special techniques used in solving some problems in the chapter. These notes should be made for all the chapters. They will be useful before the exam, when you have limited time
   
3. Carefully review chapters and recall the formulae, laws and techniques in the chapters. If you are unable to recalls them, refer to your notes
   

Identification of problem areas
          In each chapter, identify the problem areas, which need closer study. Prepare a note of the questions you failed to solve in the first attempt. Write down the correct solutions in a separate notebook. If you are unable to solve a problem, consult your teacher. In physics, checking the given choice for dimensional consistency is often very helpful.

Questions based on experiments
         In the physics paper, there is at least one question based on an experiment. You must learn how to determine the least count of measuring instrument such as vernier calipers, micrometer screw and spherometer, and to use them in making measurement. The rules of determining the significant figures in the result of a calculation must be clearly understood.

Books recommended for physics

1. Fundamentals of Physics by Halliday, Resnick and Walker
2. Advanced Level Physics by Nelkon and Parker
3. Physics of class Xi and XII by NCERT

CRACK CHEMISTRY

           The three branches of chemistry are evenly represented in both the papers in the JEE. The chemistry paper in the year 2008 was in the following format in both Paper I and Paper II:

Straight-objective type: This involves questions with four alternative answers, of which only one is correct.

Multiple-correct answer type: This involves questions with four alternative answers, of which more than one is correct.

Reasoning type: Here, each question involves two statements, which have to correlated with each other. Only one answer is correct.

Linked-comprehension type: This is a paragraph stating certain facts, from which a set of three questions is framed with four alternative answers, of which only one is correct.

Physical Chemistry
          The subject matter in physical chemistry involves topics with well-focused principles. Their application to different problems is straightforward. You should pay more attention to this branch of chemistry so that you can solve problems related to it more comfortably. Be thoroughly prepared with:

• Bohr’s theory of atomic structure, quantum numbers and orbitals.
• MO approach to diatomic molecules, hybridization/VSEPR theory
• Vander Waals equation of state and application to behaviour of real gases
• Crystal systems, packing of atoms, ionic solids and density of crystals
• Collegative properties of non-electrolytic and electrolytic solutions

• Differential and integrated rate laws, effect of catalyst and temperature on the rate of reaction
• Determination of PH of acids, bases and salt solutions (including hydrolysis) and solubility product
• Le-Chatelier Principle, relation between Kp and Kc
• Stability of nuclei
• Thermo-chemical calculations and criterion of spontaneity

As for inorganic and organic chemistry, be prepared with:

Inorganic Chemistry

• Boron and its compounds
• Silicates and silicones
• Oxoacids of phosphorus, sulphur and halogens
• Inter halogens and compounds of noble gases
• Important compounds such as H2O2, NAHCO3, NA2CO3, KMnO4, K2Cr2O7
• Transition elements, lanthanides and coordination compounds
