Useful Preparation Tips For JEE

Firstly, you know that IIT JEE exams are approaching and you intend to perform well, but the question here is how “well” do you want to perform regarding JEE rank? Give your intention a definite goal. Analyze what you need to do to achieve that target.

• Write it on paper and stick it on a wall
• Make a study schedule (study plan)
• Split the subjects according to the complexity
• Do a SWOT analysis and concentrate more on weak concepts

Secondly, be honest with yourself, never try studying something for the sake of studying when you don’t feel like. Concepts learned halfheartedly may build confidence but will eventually push you in a state of denial where you won’t even know where you stand and then subconsciously you will accept defeat. One must have a constant dedication throughout the year to get into IIT.

• Concepts/topics that are complicated which may eventually bore you should be studied when you are most active
• Concepts which are easier can be studied after a hectic day from school
• Attempt mock tests on weekends to know the level of your understanding

Both the above points depend on one most important factor which is interest. This is something you will have to develop so you can study effortlessly for the IITJEE.
