MATHEMATICS STUDY METHODS AND PROBLEM SOLVING TIPS FOR JEE ASPIRANTS

/in , , , , /by

Mathematics is a subject that you cannot avoid. Some love it but, if we’re being honest, most people hate studying maths. The importance of maths for students has never been greater. STEM subjects are the basis for technologies of tomorrow. Most university courses include some level of maths while almost every profession uses maths in some form on a daily basis. The problem many students have is that they don’t know how to study maths to get good results.

Some Problem Solving Tips for Maths :

Practice, Practice & More Practice :

It is impossible to study maths properly by just reading and listening. To study maths you have to roll up your sleeves and actually solve some problems.  The more you practice answering maths problems, the better. Each problem has its own characteristics and it’s important to have solved it in numerous ways before tackling the exam. There is no escaping this reality, to do well in a Maths exam you need to have solved a LOT of mathematical problems beforehand.

Review Errors :

When you’re practising with these problems, it’s important to work through the process for each solution. If you have made any mistakes, you should review them and understand where your problem-solving skills let you down. Understanding how you approached the problem and where you went wrong is a great way of becoming stronger and avoiding the same mistakes in the future.

Master the Key Concepts :

Do not try to memorise the processes. This is counter-productive. It is much better and rewarding in the long-run to focus on understanding the process and logic that is involved. This will help you understand how you should approach such problems in the future.

Remember that Maths is a sequential subject so it’s important to have a firm understanding of the key concepts that underpin a mathematical topic before moving on to work on other, more complex solutions which are based on understanding the basics.

(Remember: Maths requires time and patience to master)

It is a good idea to study with a friend who you can consult with and bounce ideas off when trying to solve complex problems.

Create a Distraction Free Study Environment :

Mathematics is a subject that requires more concentration than any other. A proper study environment and a distraction free area could be the determining factor when solving complex equations or problems in geometry, algebra or trigonometry!

Apply Maths to Real World Problems :

As much as possible, try to apply real-world problems when approaching maths. Maths can be very abstract sometimes so looking for a practical application can help change your perspective and assimilate ideas differently.

Probability, for example, can be used in everyday life to predict the outcome of something happening and determine whether you want to take a risk such as if you should buy a lottery ticket or gamble.

Oh and don’t forget that it’s also important to have confidence in yourself and face the exam knowing that you have prepared properly!

CBSE BOARD EXAM 2019 :TIPS TO WRITE CLEAN , PRECISE ANSWERS, AND DEFEAT EXAM STRESS

/in , , /by

CBSE board exams are due to begin soon. The CBSE class 12 board exams will begin on February 15 with Vocational subjects and conclude on April 4, 2019.

CBSE Board Exam 2019: CBSE board exams are due to begin soon. The CBSE class 12 board exams will begin on February 15 with Vocational subjects and conclude on April 4, 2019. CBSE class 10 board examination will begin on February 21 and end on March 29, 2019. The board exams are a stress and anxiety inducing time for students. One of the worries that plague students is that even after preparing adequately for the exam they may miss out on scoring good marks if they do not write the answers properly.

In order to dissipate this fear in students we spoke to some experts and curated the following tips to write presentable answers in CBSE board exams :

 

  • Basics: The main ingredient in writing an answer perfectly is knowledge. Students should make sure that they have revised every topic as per the syllabus given in NCERT textbooks.
  • NCERT questions: While preparing for board exams, students refer to several supplementary books and often end up ignoring their NCERT text books. Students should not ignore the questions given in their NCERT textbooks and keep them on their priority list while revising for the exam.
  • Sample Question Paper and Marking Scheme: Students should go through sample papers and marking scheme released by CBSE. Going through the sample question paper and accompanying marking scheme will help students understand what should be the length of an answer based on the marks allotted to it.
  • Word Limit: While writing your answers in exam, make sure that you do not exceed the word limit. The word limit means that it is possible to articulate the answer to that particular question in the allotted words. Exceeding word limit does not mean that you know more, it only shows that you are unable to articulate your knowledge in required number of words.
  • Margin: Making margins on the answer booklet is a god practice and makes your answers look presentable. Not every student can have a beautiful writing but every student can write answers clearly and in a clean manner.
Board Exam 2019: Tips To Fight exam Stress  : 
  •  Revision: One of the key last minute strategies is to revise. But do not go reading through the whole book. Instead just go through the key points and important topics.
  •  Sample Paper: Students should solve one sample paper each day. This would help them understand time management and attempt question paper accordingly on the day of the exam.
  •  Drink Water: Stressed about the exams, students often miss out on the most important part of health-care and forget to hydrate themselves. Drink enough water and you will notice the difference.
  • Meditation: A few minutes of silence and meditation every day, before and during the exams, can do wonders in reducing stress and anxiety.
  • Food: Believe it or not, certain food items can help reduce stress and anxiety.
  • Admit Card: Arrange your bag for the exam day prior to the exam. Keep your admit card handy and all other stationery items in one place. While this is a very simple step, it will spare you last minute hurry.
  • Sleep: Some students tend to stay awake till late night or pull an all-nighter before the exam. This might seem like a good idea to students but it does more harm than good. Your brain needs sleep to rejuvenate and recharge before an exam. A good night’s sleep before the exam ensures that your brain is alert and works to its full capacity in the exam hall, not to mention a good night’s sleep is an all-time cure for stress.

IIT-JEE PREPARATION ALONG WITH 12TH BOARD EXAMS !

/in , , , , /by

In less than a month, many students will appear for two of the most important exams in their career, the 12th Board Exams, and the JEE Mains, popularly known as IIT JEE. The pressure is already rising, and some students may underestimate the gravity of the situation considering both the exams are almost back to back. Students often oscillate from preparing for one exam to another without understanding the fundamentals of each.

So, exactly how to prepare for IIT-JEE along with the board exams, here are a few TIPS :

Get Acquainted With the Latest Exam Pattern :

Board exams and IIT-JEE highly differ from each other in the way they are conducted. Preparing for both the exams simultaneously can be challenging. IIT-JEE is an objective exam with multiple choice questions, while the board exams are subjective. Bridge the gap by assigning weightage to each of the exams. Practice application of concepts and numerical questions for IIT more, and be more theory-oriented for board exams.

Smart Planning is Important to Study Well :

Devising a strategy is the first and foremost thing you should do before anything else. Time should be your asset and not a liability. Organize your day, and give weightage to each subject. Effective time management is crucial and will prepare you mentally. Formulate a plan on a piece of paper and stick it on your study table. Never overload yourself exponentially and beyond your abilities; although, it is advisable to push yourself now and then to test your strengths. Take breaks after long hours of study and rejuvenate your mind for a fresh start later.

Have a Clear Understanding of Fundamentals and Theory : 

Have a clear understanding of the fundamentals involved in all the chapters; it is the key to success in both the exams. The basic concepts of every topic remain the same. Since, both the exams have a similar syllabus, you can understand the working of a concept easily. While IIT-JEE has more sophisticated application of concepts, the theory remains the same. NCERT books are a good resource to help you bridge the gap between fundamentals and tricky questions. Write formulas in a notebook on each topic, and refer to them while preparing for JEE.

Cover Every Topic of the Syllabus : 

A student does not have the luxury of missing out a single topic while preparing for board exams and IIT-JEE. Since, IIT- JEE requires a minimum percentage in board exams to appear for the JEE, one cannot take a chance of leaving out a single topic. A brief look at the previous year question papers of both exams will give you a hint that all topics are covered, and it is essential to prepare for everything. If you are struggling with difficult topics, consult a teacher or a friend. The syllabus for the both exams is almost same. IIT-JEE does include tougher application of concepts, but the fundamentals remain the same. Consult the official website for JEE and make sure you have the correct syllabus.

Practice Mock Papers :

Practicing mock papers and previous year papers will acquaint you with the character of both the exams. Be strict on the clock and refrain from distractions. It is wise to practice previous year board exam papers to help you prepare better. Always practice mock papers in full spirit and treat them like an actual exam to get the maximum benefit. Evaluate your performance and then work on your weaker areas. If you are significantly lacking in one of the topics, then assign more time to it and consult a teacher if you are not able to grasp the same.

Revise Well for Effective Preparation:

No preparation is complete without revision. Previous year board toppers swear by the importance of revision while preparing for both exams. A revision can make or break your chance of securing a better seat and a better score. It is advisable to revise after completing a topic. Revision is vital after writing the board exam since boards follow a subjective pattern and you can edit your mistakes. Revision will help you assess your abilities better and make you more confident. Rank your goals and assign more time to the chapters that have a higher weightage in JEE. It is advisable to write the theoretical answers while revising to get a gist of the board exams.

TOP 10 TIPS FOR CRACKING JEE MAIN 2019 EXAMINATION

/in , , , /by

Toppers review : “If you focus well, your study hours will not matter. The quality of study matter more than quantity. Also remain calm and focused. Your concepts should be strong. Do solve the previous year’s question papers of JEE ”!

Here are few tips for final JEE attempt :

  • Find a mentor in your close circle. It can be your brother, sister, mother, father, cousin, class teacher – anyone. You need to be motivated throughout these 2 years.
    ” Do not lose vision and focus of your Goal ” !
  • On the JEE Exam day, follow your test taking strategy – Topper’s strategy was to attempt any first subject as which was a tough subject for him (owing to the vast syllabus) and he solved remaining two subjects after tough one .Taking time-bound practice tests  is key to your optimal performance on the JEE day.
  • Friends can be a distraction. Choose wisely whom you want to be friends with over these 2 years.
  • Take breaks between studies. Play your favorite sports to keep yourself fit and rejuvenated. Fitness is absolutely important during these 2 years. Not being fit is one of the major reasons behind a bad JEE rank.
  • Avoid Social Media distractions like Facebook and Mobile distractions like Whatsapp for these two years, but you could Join useful Facebook groups and Google+ communities to keep a tab on what other students are upto – how are they preparing differently.
  • Build a good timetable and follow it religiously. Systematic study is more important than studying concepts randomly.
  • The number of hours you study is more important than how much you actually get done in those hours. Concentration in whichever subject you study is the key!Focus more on the important chapters for JEE, practice more questions from these topics.
  • Self Study is absolutely Must – You must spent time on self-preparation apart from School and Coaching classes.
  • JEE is NOT tough. You Just need to develop a natural interest in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics – think in terms of actual scenarios and not just solving problems.
  • Start preparing for JEE right after your Class 10 exams. Do not waste your time.

5 TIPS OF TIME MANAGEMENT FOR FINAL JEE EXAM PREPARATION

/in , , , , /by

Even before We  go into tell you about how you should prepare yourself for the Maths, Physics or Chemistry, you need to pay attention to this – Without time management no magic is going to help you reach your goals, which is All India Rank !

Realizing this fact of planning, we can make time our friend rather than making it our foe. Always remember – “You need to work smarter in addition to working hard”

There is a difference between sitting with a book 18 hours a day and actually studying 18 hours a day. And you don’t want to sit with a book 18 hours a day you need to put your time to good use as it is limited.

Managing your time over the next 3 months / or 2 months is the most crucial thing that you need to focus on. Not only this, you also need to manage your time during the 3 hours of your actual JEE Main / Advanced exam.

Here are the 5 key mantras  :

a) Complete the most important tasks first –

Studying that one chapter in say, Organic Chemistry is more important now than checking out what is the latest movie release or iPhone game on the block.

Once you have done the important task first, you will have a sense of accomplishment and that will lead you to the next important task.

b) Learn to Say NO to friends & family –

We are not saying you cut yourself off from your friends or family while you prepare for the JEE. There will always be that friend who tried to distract you from your preparation, tell them a polite NO!

Friends and family are always going to be around but if you lose these valuable two months of preparation,  you are not going to get this time back either. So, you decide!

Parth Kothari, IIT Bombay, AIR 11 in JEE Main says, “I knew that if spent too much time with friends, then I could not make it to IIT Bombay ever. I know people felt that I am avoiding them but the news of my success must have made them proud”.

c) Don’t procrastinate and aim for incremental improvement-

some students were a genius in a subject but they could not clear IIT JEE  because they use to postpone studying other subjects like Inorganic Chemistry Mathematics etc .

There  is a great analogy of Incremental improvement method. It is called the 1.01 Law:

  • When we put that out 1% more effort every day, our progress can grow by 3800% in one single year.
  • When we slack off 1% every day, we do not progress, rather we push ourselves to failure!

If you do not like a subject then do not waste time by postponing it, take baby steps towards studying it and gradually you will become a master!

d) Turn important tasks into habits – 

There is a well known theory that for any task to become a habit you need to do it for 21 days at stretch, and it will eventually become a habit – be it a good habit or a bad habit.

Make it a habit of revising important formulae and concepts in the morning, especially those which you studied the previous day. Follow this tip and it will work wonders.

Instead of losing hope, a student would daily spend 30 mins at night before sleeping and 15 mins after the woke up the next day to just go through his reagent notes. This was so helpful for him that he  not only topped the Organic Chemistry part test of FIITJEE but also cleared IIT JEE with a good rank.

e) Set a time duration to everything you do –

Our brain is a funny object! If you tell it that you have just 1 hour to study a chapter, it will give you reverse feedback and make sure that you finish it in not more than an hour.

However, if you set aside 4 hours for something that could be done easily in 1 hour, our brain will be slow in that process and it will end up making you take those 4 hours to complete the task – what a waste of time.

JEE MAIN APRIL 2019 : HOW TO IMPROVE RANKING ?

/in , , , /by

With NTA’s decision to conduct the JEE Main exams twice a year from 2019, many aspirants are at an added advantage. The first phase of the JEE Main 2019 concluded on January 12 and the students who are not sure of getting a better rank also have a second chance to take exams in April (April 6-20). Registration for the April session will be starting from February 8 to March 7, 2019.

The Common Rank List for JEE Main 2019 will be available in the first week of May after the declaration of the results of the April exam.The better of the scores of candidates who have appeared in both JEE Main January and April will be considered for the ranking purposes while the scores of the candidates who have appeared for just one exam will be used as it is. The common rank lists will denote the All India and Category ranks of the candidates in addition to the details of the candidates and marks obtained. The JEE Main rank will be the basis for admissions to the NITs, IIITs and GFTIs.

For those who could not do well in the January session need not worry as the April session is another chance for all students who wish to improve their scores. The following points must be kept in mind when taking up the April session of JEE Main 2019.

  • One must NOT repeat the same mistakes committed in January Session of JEE Main. Learning from mistakes is important.
  • Complete your syllabus if not done earlier.
  • Practice questions from Previous Year JEE Main Papers and even from January session of JEE 2019.
  • Use the Gap between your Board Exams to revise and take up Mock Tests on online Mode from reputed source for consistency in preparation.
  • Keep a check on your speed & accuracy as it is also important as to how you solve the paper for a high score.
  • You must have done the Test Analysis of the JEE Paper you took in January and ensure you are confident with each of those questions now.
  • Take help from your Subject Teachers to clear your doubts and speak to them in case of any conceptual doubts or problems which you are unable to solve.
  • Prepare a quick revision plan and categorize the chapters like:
    > Easy- generally you can solve any problem from these chapter/topic
    > Moderate- you take time to solve but your concepts of these chapters are clear
    > Difficult- you have not been able to understand the concepts in these chapter and find questions from these chapters tough.
  • While revising ensure you may have to take help from your teachers for the Difficult chapters and get all your concepts cleared as merely devoting time on these chapters may not help. You can join a crash course for these topics.
  • For the Moderate Chapters you will need more practice so devote time daily so that you have completed solving adequate no. of questions from these chapters.
  • For the chapters/Topics you find Easy it is important that you are always able to solve any given question from them. So, you must solve some questions even from these topics but avoid spending too much time on these as you are already good in these chapters.
  • While solving questions keep a check on your time and develop short cuts to avoid lengthy calculations. Use of diagrams/graphs will expedite your answers.
  • Try to remember all important formulae, named reactions as this will add to your speed while solving.
  • Your Speed, Accuracy and Time management will be an important parameter for success in JEE Main (April),2019.
  • Most importantly take care of your physical and mental fitness as there are external factors influencing your performance in the exam.
  • Avoid taking up new books or start any new chapters before the exam as this may spoil your confidence level.
  • Maintain a positive attitude throughout your preparation and remain focused. Staying confident and keeping calm while taking the exam also helps get a desired score.

For those who missed out on the first attempt or want to improve their ranking to qualify for JEE Advanced, here is a better chance. Attempting the first Main exam should be considered as a mock test which clarifies the weak areas for detailed analysis and further preparations.

Strengthen your weaker subjects :

Identify the chapters whose questions were difficult to solve. Consult teachers and faculty for clearing doubts. Allocate extra hours every week for the difficult subjects and doubt-clearing sessions. Discipline is the key to follow the time table. Keep one hour in a week for self-analysis and correction.

Utilise the gap between board exams :

Board exams and the second attempt to JEE Main being closely scheduled, preparations for both need to be planned meticulously. However, the challenge remains about how to focus and go about it to emerge victorious in both the exams. There are certain sub-topics in various subjects which generally get more weightage in the Boards because the questions are subjective type. There are also some topics which are included in JEE Main, but not part of the JEE Advanced exam and students tend to ignore them during their preparation. For example, in Physics, the chapters on Electronic Devices and Communications Systems are part of JEE Main and the Board exam, but not part of the JEE Advanced Exam. Students should carefully study these chapters along with the questions from the sample papers so that they can comfortably handle descriptive questions from these chapters.

Practice questions but with concept clarity :

Though a good number of problem-solving is essential, but one needs concept clarity to accelerate success as the exam may not have a fixed pattern. Though it is good to solve questions, focus more on making the concepts transparent.

Aspirants are however advised to give in their best shot as it is finally the relative performance in the actual exam that will fetch you a good rank in JEE 2019.
