Hey guys! The lock-down, implemented by the Govt. of India and extended for the third time in the last few months, has caused important exams to be deferred by the Ministry of Human Resource Development. One such exam is JEE, an All-India test for students opting for engineering, which has been scheduled to be held between 18–23 July 2020. But every second counts, so tighten your seat belts and prepare yourselves for a roller-coaster ride!

I have grown up in an environment where studies and exams have always been highly prioritized. Excelling in an exam with excellent results has always been a dream for aspirants answering several tests, be it competitive or simply for admission into the top league colleges. CLAT (for Law) and GMAT, MAT, XAT, etc., are meant for the IIMs and BITs whereas, for science (Physics, Chemistry, Maths a.k.a PCM), JEE is the most popular and important ones for admission into the prestigious IITs of the nation.

Touted as one of the toughest engineering-based exams to crack, JEE aspirants face stiff competition to enter into the NITs, IITs and other CFTIs while trying to clear the cutoff, which is pretty high and is the deciding factor of the fate of the students who choose to study their subject of choice.

However, several aspects of the overall exam cannot be overlooked with respect to the main subjects, ie., Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. In pursuit of gaining the needed results, it gets pretty exhausting for the aspirants, physically and mentally, causing them to quit midway, caused by stress and anxiety.

So here I am- to assist you with some of the best JEE preparation tips given by experts and toppers, followed by tips which will help a student ace the test and win the battle:

1. SYLLABUS BEING THE KEY

We often forget to concentrate on our syllabus which is one of the most important JEE tips given by experts and successful aspirants. A syllabus needs to be STUDIED minutely to trace our strengths and what could prove to be the Achilles’ heel. Studying isn’t the only thing; studying smartly is what makes one different. Keep an eye on the key points of the syllabus because every year it keeps getting updated and missing out by a whisker could cost you more so study with the syllabus by your side.

2. ROUTINE TO WIN

An organised routine in school leads to classes to not overlap. Similarly, tough exams like JEE can be cracked only with a proper and effective routine which counts as an important point among the JEE preparation tips. Start by making slots for every topic and subject and try to complete them within a timeframe. Compensate by making the routine convenient enough to complete your backlogs. Do not forget to take breaks to rejuvenate yourself.

Most importantly, stick to your routine, no matter how many suggestions are made. You know yourself better than anyone else!

3. STRATEGY AND HARD WORK- CHECKMATE!

50%STRATEGY + 50% HARD-WORK= 100% SUCCESS.

A strategized plan wins matches and this, again, brings us to a crucial point of the JEE preparation tips. Experts emphasise on a clear strategy for JEE MAINS so prioritize the tough subjects first and then complete the rest accordingly. BE ‘MAINS’ READY!

4. THE ART OF NOTE MAKING + STICK TO THE BASICS

Making notes should be the primary focus of all the JEE preparation tips, using methods like mnemonics for memory, flowcharts, diagrams, etc., for quicker learning. Formulas in Physics, Chemistry, and Maths are confusing to learn so memorize them through short notes. A few days before the exam, simply brushing through the notes can help retain ideas without stress but it needs to be updated regularly. For those who go for JEE tuitions, update your notes on time and revise these notes every day. Our basics and short notes can make our game stronger.

5. SOLVING PREVIOUS YEARS QUESTIONS- A MUST!

This is the mantra of every exam we answer- Practice, practice, and practice! Solving previous years' questions helps to devise strategies to solve difficult questions within seconds. Since JEE demands us to solve questions in the shortest time frame, this trick will prove to be the saviour on D-Day.

6. TIME MANAGEMENT- SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE!

There is a reason why a specific timestamp is mentioned for solving a sum on the question paper. It helps students to solve problems faster and complete the paper in a stipulated time period. Often students get stressed out due to time shortage hence working on your time management from the beginning is necessary for better results. Topics must be completed on time, according to your routine, to avoid backlogs.

7. ASK THE EXPERTS’ ADVICE

Among JEE MAINS last tips, keep in touch with experts from your respective institutes. Websites like Unacademy, BYJUS, RUBEX, etc., help in clearing concepts and providing interesting insights for different topics, through study materials and live online classes’.

8. HEALTHY LIFESTYLE- MEDITATION, HOBBIES, ETC.

Start your day with yoga and meditation to calm your mind and body and to build concentration during the study hours. Enhance your hobbies like writing, sketching, listening to music, watching movies during your break, have healthy meals, and sleep early.
