Biggest Mistakes during IIT JEE Preparations

-

Hello friends! During our preparatory period we go through a lot of things happening around and couldn’t figure out where we are going wrong and what steps should be taken to overcome this!

I’ll be sharing the 5 worst mistakes done by JEE aspirants during their JEE preparations.

  • Ignoring the basics: The main building block for anything is its base, same goes with your preparations. Students preparing for JEE mostly think that it’s the the high level advanced questions that will matter the most and that’s where they start missing out the basics. The basics are the building loack of your JEE preparations. People often jump to advance books and test series ignoring the NCERT, whereas, if you actually notice most of JEE Main questions can be solved if you have thoroughly gone through your NCERT. So, use the advanced books and study materials but keep your basics clear.
  • Excess Study Material: One thing that everyone should keep in mind is that excess of anything is harmful. More study material doesn’t always mean more knowledge. I have seen students having so much that it becomes impossible to manage things properly. Most of the time the study material or the books are just a show piece on your book shelf. We just buy or take whatever is available to us or is recommended by people. Try avoiding that, use limited books, learn and understand them thoroughly. Completing a single book 100% is better than reading 20% of 10 books.
  • Not having a proper time table: Planning is a crucial step in any field. Unplanned studies take you nowhere and often leave you stressed as you don’t have a track of what all has been done and what has to be done. Plan your studies accordingly. I have posted “How to make a perfect Time-Table!” Read the post and prepare a suitable time table.
  • Trying out a lot of teaching or coaching option: As a student we always think that we should be getting the best if we are paying for something. To some extent this seems right but what actually happens is we waste our time and effort in exploring teachers and coaching. Most of the students attend multiple coaching classes and tutions while they prepare for their exams which lead to insufficient time for self-study. Avoid this by getting suggestions from your seniors who have performed well in the exams and go with the trusted teachers and coaching. Finding the right teacher is a very important task and should be done without any compromises. Find a teacher who is good enough and stick to his teachings and suggestions. 
  • Test Series: Choose the test series wisely because they have to match the level of exams you are preparing for. If the test series have irrelevant questions which are not in standard to the exam you are preparing for and have much higher level than required it will bring down your moral which will affect your preparations. Same is the case with test series which are low standard. With the low level of questions you will get a pseudo feeling that you are prepared to face the exam but in the end will fall in the final exam. So, that’s why having a test series with the same level of questions as in the main exam is necessary.

These are the 5 mistakes that you should be avoiding while you prepare for your JEE exams. There are more mistakes to the list that students do which I will be sharing in another post. Keeping these things in mind prepare for your JEE exams.

All the best buddies!

    Yes, I can clearly recall the time I didn't go through the basics much in 11th and wanted to do the tough questions. I was wrong and I realised that in the end of 11th class. I'm currently in 12th. Hope to get good marks in JEE

Final weeks preparation strategy for JEE

Greetings to each and every student here, as an aspirant each one of us go through a certain phases. While some have had the preparations over the period of 2 years, others may not have much time to prepare for their JEE exams. The reasons can be many but let's not talk about the reasons in this article. Here, I want to give you all an idea about how to prepare for your JEE exam in a short period of time. The things that you need to keep in your mind while you go through the last weeks just before the exams. My suggestions on how to crack JEE with only limited time to prepare: Never randomize your study.   First, make a week-by-week plan, with provision for mock tests, revision, new learning, etc. Then, make daily plans and stick to them diligently. Make the plans always just a little higher than your previous best (maybe 10-15% higher), and that will keep you progressing. For instance: if you have a capacity of doing 400 questions a day, fix a target 450 or 470 to be done daily. (...

How I made it to IIT!

Whatever I am now and what all I have achieved, started from the day I decided to take a drop when I wasn’t able to clear my JEE Advance in first attempt. So, my words will be more useful for the students who face the same deadly situation. Actually, you always need a driving force that keeps you moving and makes work really hard for achieving your goals. In my case, that driving force was my dad’s dream. Of course, different people have different reasons to get into IIT. But one thing is for sure – you need a hell lot of determination to take a drop and prepare for JEE.  The three key thoughts to be kept in mind: One, Never lose confidence. Two, Never stop, never, at any cost. Three, Never become dependent on anyone. Be self-dependent. You may face many adverse situations during your preparations, you may feel like backing off but in reality those are your real test which you need to face off before your actual JEE examination. In my case, these adversities were at such a peak tha...

  Hey Everyone! I hope your preparations are going well for the April JEE MAIN Session. Without wasting much time, I will cover the top tricks you should follow during the last preparation days of your JEE Exam. Lets Start. 1) DON'T PICK UP ANY NEW TOPIC - Yes, you read that right. Don't pick anything new. This is the time you are surrounded by a lot of confusions and that's not an issue but JEE MAIN exam is all about your knowledge about the topic or a subject. So, this is actually the time to revise whatever you already know. It is recommended from my side to not top pick something you have never studied.

Hello everyone! While attempting our JEE exam we often run out of time and this lead to a great loss in our marks.  There are basically 2 factors which decide how you will score in your JEE Exam. 1. Accuracy of your attempted questions. 2. How many questions you can do within those hours. The first one obviously depends on your level of preparations but in this blog, I will be discussing about how to increase your speed while attempting for the exam. Increasing your speed will eventually result in increase of the the marks you get! Let's get started. One thing that I know about the people, who do good in any exam, is that their mind works faster than their pens. Yes, your mind is the first weapon while attempting your JEE exam. You see some students do more than half of the calculations in their mind and then reach a particular place from where they start using the pen. What's exactly the point to that? Whenever you get a question, don't just blindly start doing any calcula...
