Successful 6 Months Strategy to Prepare for JEE Mains and Advance

Potential engineers from across India gear up every year for the biggest exam of probably their lives- JEE (Joint Entrance Examination). JEE Main is taken by 14 lakh plus students every year in over 15k centers in not just India but abroad as well. Over 1.5 lakh eligible students based on their performance in JEE Main will be eligible to give JEE Advance.

And with time slipping by, preparing for JEE Mains and Advance in the last 6 months is going to be an intense task. But fear not! We have devised the perfect 6 months study plan that will make you crack JEE Main and Advance in 6 months.

For all the 12 board students who plan on cracking IIT JEE in one month– it’s an impossible task. Hence finding the motivation to start 6 months in advance is important.

Let’s take a look at the schedule for JEE and tips on how to prepare perfectly for it:

Study Plan for the 3 main subjects: Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics

Strategy to score well in Mathematics

This subject requires lesser study time than chemistry and physics as a huge chunk of the syllabus is covered during 12th board preparation. But that doesn’t mean you ignore mathematics. Make it a point to practice every day to clear your concepts

Strategy to score well in Chemistry

NCERT books cover most of the syllabus and every student should go through it and solve the exercises at the end of each chapter. Avoid going through heaps and heaps of books and stick with 1 or 2 standard books to avoid confusion. Another important suggestion is to solve previous years’ papers of IIT JEE as a lot of times questions are repeated.

Strategy to score well in Physics

Knowing the concept and the ability to visualize is crucial to scoring well in this subject. Noting down all the important formulae, shortcut tricks and results while going through the topics will be really helpful. These short notes will be extremely useful while preparing for JEE Main. Make it a point to practice sums every day in the 6 month period before IIT JEE.

November to mid-Jan

This is the best period which you can utilize for IIT JEE preparation as most of the 12th board syllabus is completed by now and you are generally more free to study the JEE topics. Make sure to prepare a chapter wise plan to study and revise. Prepare revision notes as you go as it will help reduce the revision time while revising previous lessons later on.

Mid Jan to Feb

Take this time to revise thoroughly and also prepare for the 12th board exams. Solve last year’s question papers after you’ve finished studying a certain subject. Time yourself while doing this to prepare yourself for the JEE exam time.

Follow these tips to stay motivated and study:

• Do not get stressed out by comparing yourself to others. You are your biggest competition and you need to compare your current performance with your past one to see the progress you’ve made.

• Try and solve problems on your own without looking at the solutions. This way you might build your own shortcuts and methods for problem-solving.

• It is a fact that you won’t be able to achieve an All India Rank if your peer group consists of students who have low motivation or drive to clear JEE. As harsh as it sounds, surrounding yourself with friends who don’t distract you, can make or break your exam preparation.

The right peer group will help you stay optimistic, energetic, charged and updated with newer ways of solving problems and also with the latest happenings.

• It may seem trivial to worry about your health during this crucial period but health comes first. Practice meditation and yoga daily and you’ll notice your confidence levels and ability to concentrate will increase. Also, you will be releasing the stress through these practices and attaining inner peace.

• Keep your phone away or switch off your phone to resist temptation. Use it only while checking exam related information or updates.

• Always keep a printout of your syllabus on your study table. Tick the topics that you’ve finished to keep track of the progress.

• Depending on your energy levels and your ability to concentrate, try and study at least 12- 15 hours in a day.
In the end, every day you study motivate yourself with the image of your future where you don’t look back and say that you didn’t try hard enough. Keep calm, give it your 100% and come back successful!
