JEE Advanced Subject-wise Preparation Tips
Physics:
- For this subject, we recommend candidates must clear their fundamentals first. A solid understanding of fundamentals aid in finding solutions to difficult problems and equations.
- Go through NCERT textbooks.
- Make separate notes of the main concepts, equations, or formulae; this will serve as a reference.
- To enhance your speed and accuracy, practice at least 5-6 problems of a topic daily and then proceed.
- Multiple reference books on various topics can be used to practice problems.
- Take as many mock tests as you can to identify your area of weakness and work on them.
Chemistry
- Since the subject includes a lot of chemical equations and reactions, concepts, and theory, it is essential to maintain a balance between memorizing information and concept application.
- Memorize all the important reactions, mechanisms, formulae, equations and concepts by heart.
- Maintain a separate notebook with significant information, equations, reactions, formulae, exceptions etc. from each topic.
- For better results, the chemical equations and problems must be revised and practised on a regular basis.
- For quicker recollection of information, practice JEE Advanced 2023 questions from preparation books and NCERT. Then employ your understanding of the concept to solve problems and equations.
Mathematics
- Practice is the key to acing the mathematics section of JEE Advanced.
- Before starting to solve questions, ensure that you understand the associated concept thoroughly.
- Memorise the problem's equations and practice at least three to four problems in the same model to understand its application.
- Spend little effort on comparable types of mathematical problems/equations.
- Try to learn shortcuts while solving problems. You can learn them by practising problems on a regular basis. This saves time for MCQ-based exams such as JEE Advanced 2023.
- Don’t forget to solve JEE Advanced sample papers. You can find areas of improvement and achieve excellence with regular practice.
JEE Advanced Question-Pattern Based Preparation Tips
MCQ with Single Correct Answer:
Go with the Question- Option- Question method for those questions.
- Read the question, scan through the options and then again go to the question.
- Scanning the question again after keeping the options in mind aids in strategizing the effective method to solve the problem.
- The alternatives themselves can sometimes lead to the correct strategy or even the correct response.
MCQ with Multiple Correct Answers:
Here, first, solve the question and then map the answer with all the possible options. It is also possible that the options contain the same values stated in different ways. Carefully match the answer to all the possible options.
Comprehension-based Questions:
Read the question carefully, even if you are already familiar with the given concept, because sometimes there is a possibility of redefining a term or supplying hypothetical assumptions. In that situation, even your correct strategy may result in the wrong answer.
Matrix Match (One to One):
To solve these questions, start with finding the odd one out. This might assist you in easily locating the correct answer by eliminating the incorrect ones.
Matrix Match (One to Many):
These might be the most trickiest questions. To solve them, candidates are advised to go through the concepts presented in all four rows. Attempt these questions only if you are confident about the answers or else save them for the last.
Numerical-based Questions:
These questions are a little time-consuming and hence should be solved only if you have a firm grasp of the concept or if you have attempted all of the paper's other questions. Also, students are recommended to write correct responses to decimal places as requested.
JEE Advanced Exam Strategies
- Get a good night's sleep before the exam. This is critical in order to focus for the entire 6 hours of the examination.
- Start with easy-to-moderate questions first or with questions you are most confident about. Around 80% of the questions are easy to moderate in difficulty, so start with them.
- Solve the paper in 2-3 rounds, and mark the questions you missed or that need to be reviewed in each round.
- Leave the MCQ with multiple correct answers type questions for the second round. They are actually four questions in one.
- Do not overlook any instructions. Read them very carefully.
- Note down the values and key information provided while reading the question for the first time to solve them quickly.
- Manage your rough work well and also while answering the questions, write clearly.
- Take your practice test paper as seriously as you would the JEE Advanced paper.
- Lastly, stay calm and confident throughout the paper.
