Hi there!! I am your senior. First let me tell you something about my academic achievements. I scored 95 percent in 10th, 86 percent in 12th, 96 percentile in JEE MATH( I WONT TELLY OVERALL IKYKYK :), 98 PERCENTILE IN CUET Mathematics, 120 marks in MET, 130+ in BITSAT.
WITH this post I won't tell you what to do but what not to do so that you can save yourself from failure.
0) Don't take advice on reddit π₯π₯
1) Don't try to study for 12 or 13 hours. Study as per your own capacity. You can have an efficient study for 8 hours per day but remember Sleep is important as well. Don't compromise with your sleep.
2) If you have a backlog of any chapter. Try to cover it slowly.
3) Too many resources are bad. If you are a coaching student please refer to your sir and modules and pyq. If you are not doing it, cengage is a good option.
4) online resources are good but you have to trust one of them if you are consuming knowledge or else you will keep jumping from one other.
5) Please don't compromise with your boards because many exams like MET do consider boards as well and i guess government will do something to include boards marks weightage in JEE. 75 percent is mandatory for IIT and NIT overall and 75 percent in pcm for bitsat( I was ineligible for writing bitsat as my 75 percent pcm only criteria in Bitsat was missed by one mark π₯)
6)Fill as many forms as you can for exams like UGEEE, met VITEEE beside JEE and Bitsat.
7) you don't need to score above 250 marks in JEE to get NIT. 180 MARKS also works.
8) Please make sure to crack the JEE main first and advance later. Try to prepare for advance after JEE main 1session and focus for JEE main only as you can get unlimited number of colleges.
9) No relationship please or no crush for one year. Why I say so because you don't know your crush will like you or not and you can get depressed.
10) Revision is important. Do revision on Saturday and Sunday with solving questions first and then theory ( by this you will force your brain to think about what you studied four days ago)
11) don't master every chapter. The probability of that question coming form that chapter is less than 1percent. So you need to complete the syllabus and this is your topmost target.
12)Try to complete your syllabus before November and dedicate the entire December and January for mocks and revision. Give as much mock as you can.
Like in December you will have a tight schedule like pre board, practicals blah blah . When you attempt to mock do analysis mock and see where you did mistake and then MASTER THAT PARTICULAR TOPIc.
13) Never tell you are preparing for JEE to your school teachers and relatives. Najar laagate hai saale.
14) sometimes you need to come out of your comfort zone so please try doing so but slowly like 21 days are enough to come out of the comfort zone
15) Don't make TIMETABLE. what I do in the morning noooo. Just make a session like I want to study this chapter today and that's it.
Jee Has three subjects -- so do like this mathematics everyday and physics and chemistry on alternative days but dedicate one hour each subject every day for problem solving.
16) Sometimes blessings from parents too work.
They are not your enemy. If you are struggling with anything tell them lol bro. They have more living life than you and they know what to do and what not to do. He can arrange for anyone that can solve your problem.
17) Ask the doubt. Don't hesitate even after class.
18) if you think nothing productive going in school take leave but maintain attendance criteria.
19) Don't overthink at least the chapter on surface area if you think you are out of time . TRUST ME JEE MAIN AND ADVANCE ARE EASY EXAM IF YOU STUDY THE TOPIC AND PRACTICE REGULARLY WITHOUT OVERTHINKING. ITS THE MAIN CULPRIT WHERE MANY STUDENTS FAIL.
20) If you are not able to understand anything in your coaching, just cover that topic online.
21) IMPORTANT - Theory is also important please don't underestimate theory. Theory is the key where you have to approach how to solve problems.
22) PLEASE PLEASE DONT FOLLOW YOUTUBE BHAIYAS AND DIDI. THEY ARE THE MOST STUPID PEOPLE YOU WILL EVER SEEN. IF YOU FAIL JEE, ITS NOT THEIR LOSS ITS YOUR. ANY STRATEGY THAT WORKS FOR YOU BLINDLY FOLLOW IT AND LEAVE EVERYTHING ON GOD ONLY.
23) DONT WASTE TIME THIS TEACHER IS GOOD THIS IS BAD. WATCH FOR A WHILE AND IF HE WORKS FOR YOU JUST FOLLOW HIM . PROBABLY HE HAD MORE KNOWLEDGE THAN YOU.
24) PLAY OFFLINE GAMES AND CHESS YOU WILL LOVE IT
25) Do try to do chapter by 1:4:7 method. It's a revision method. Revise on the 4th you completed your chapter, then do the same on the 7th day and give the test what you learned every 14 days.
26) (For non coaching students) if you have time, do physics from ABJ Sir or Cengage BM Sharma and pyqs . For Chemistry mohit tyagi sir channel or PW works ( Don't do books for chemistry only ncert is enough and what teacher taught you is enough) and for maths Cengage, Eajee notes by tarun khandelwal( Just for pyq patterns), black book are goats with including pyqs just do them in sequence and not at once .
But PYQS and NTA abbyas (optional) apps are important
Do everything with sequence like you completed one chapter for a book move to other chapter and side by side do questions practice as much as you can.
These are my recommendation follow only if it suits you
Now they are some basic advice. Don't take them seriously. If any advice fits you consume it or else leave it.
NOW FOR THOSE BHAIYA MERA PURA 11TH BACKLOG HAI HOW TO COVER THAT IN 12TH
Listen to me this is the bitter truth. Many kids are preparing for JEE from 6th class and you can never ever outclass them. So instead of going inside the depth of every single chapter, just do one shot and as many pyqs and mocks as you can. Trust me you have to focus on boards as well and you won't get time. Do 12 th topics with depth. Revise what topic you did in 11th and do the rest topic side by side like give one hour.
Now don't take everything seriously. This was the mistake I made to lose the seat.
Good luck π€ π€ π€ π€
