Cracking JEE Advanced MCQs – 5 Tricks

Your scores in the JEE Advanced are entirely based on your ability to crack multiple choice questions (MCQs) well. Although there is no substitute for knowledge and hard work, a couple of tricks will help you solve these questions faster.

Read the Marking Scheme Carefully

The IIT JEE Test normally has a number of questions such as 'match the following' which do not carry negative marking. Since these are no-risk questions, you must make it a point to attempt them.

Learn Easy Topics by Heart

This will save you time during the examination, since you will be able to circle the correct answer without thinking twice. Topics such as nuclei, radiation, atoms cover around 25 marks, and so should be attempted accurately to increase your scores.

Avoid Marking Highest and Lowest Values

As a rule of thumb, more than 50% of the highest and lowest values in the JEE MCQs are found to be wrong. You can use this simple principle to bias your choice of answers

Narrow down your choices

Decide on two incorrect answers. For the remaining two, it will make it easier to eliminate one of the two if it is a highest or lowest value.

Definitely attempt Coordinate Geometry

A lot of candidates neglect this section, but you should definitely attempt it. The descriptions given in the questions can help you draw an approximate diagram, and increase the chances of your getting a correct answer.
