Create A Time-table Which You Can Follow Easily
The journey to success begins with proper planning. This involves creating a suitable and well-organized timetable which you can basically stick to or follow. Time is precious, therefore, divide the hours for studying the subjects as required. You should be able to cover the entire syllabus before the exams and even have an ample amount of time for revisions.
Don’t Ignore The Syllabus
Most of the time, students tend to just ignore the syllabus. You should be doing the exact opposite. Go through the entire syllabus and you will definitely gain valuable insights into the main objectives of the entire curriculum, as well as the aims of the question setter including the exam pattern, marking scheme and more. You will have a greater grasp if you analyze the JEE Mains or JEE Advanced syllabus in depth.
Develop A Good Understanding Of The Concepts
If you are taking JEE exams, then there is no point in mugging up the content. In fact, you should avoid rote learning all together because the question asked in the exams, especially for sections like physics and maths are tricky and indirect. They are designed to test your understanding of conceptual knowledge as well as analytical and problem-solving skills. Try to understand the basics and then move on to more advanced concepts.
Choose You Study Resources Wisely
Today, there are a lot of study materials and resources available to students. These are in the form of educational websites, books and e-books, notes, lecture videos and more. However, you should remember to select the right study tool to help your preparation. Most of the time, NCERT books are said to be useful materials but students can do some extra research work to find more relevant study materials.
Have A Look At The Previous Years or Sample Question Papers
After completing your studies, you should make it a point to test your preparation level. How? Well, you can solve either JEE Main or JEE Advanced question papers including the previous year or sample papers. You can also take mock tests. Engaging in such activity will help you get familiar with the overall exam pattern, different types of questions, allotment of marks, and duration of the paper. Make sure to record your timing as well. All in all, you will gain higher confidence and be ready for the exam.
These are some of the useful study hacks that you can follow and take your preparation to a higher level.
