Revision Tips for JEE Exams

Your JEE preparation is incomplete without proper revision and practice. While planning your preparation strategy,  dedicate some time just for revisions. Conducting revisions periodically will help you be in touch with the concepts that you may have studied early on. However, you should remember that during this stage you should not be learning new concepts. This is a wrong practice. This time is meant only for brushing up your important concepts, especially formulas. JEE includes subjects such as Maths, Physics and Chemistry that deal with various formulas and theorems. For these, revision is key.

Therefore, while preparing any chapter you can keep a separate notebook or make flashcards for easy reference and quick revision. Furthermore, these study notes should have a comprehensive overview of important topics and should be clear and concise. Remember that flashcards should be used only to revise certain topics instead of studying it. The main idea of a flashcard is to read the heading and immediately recollect the concept behind it.  You can follow some of these tips to write and maintain flashcards:

• The main gist of a concept,
• Short explanation, if necessary,
• Formulas and Diagrams,
• Example to aid, if necessary.

In addition to these suggestions, below are some revision tips for JEE Exams that you can follow.
