/in , , , /by

 

Long hours of revising while preparing for your IIT-JEE exam can be very hectic for everyone involved, right from students to teachers and even parents. But the most affected are the students who end up eating unhealthy diets that could lead to less energy, illness, and even poor performance while revising. 

It is crucial to provide a healthy diet for the students when you are preparing for your upcoming IIT-JEE exams. To pay attention to the academic strategies and techniques, a child should get a right balanced diet to improve their memory and overall health. If you are eating the right food, it can build the right level of concentration, IQ, and memory. Giving your children a variety of innovative healthy foods will discourage them from eating unhealthy food. And when the exam pressure is on, it’s the time to focus on what you are eating. Yes, it’s true, the right choice of food can help you in relieving your stress and pressure to a great extent. 

Here are some of the brain foods that you must eat while revising for your IIT-JEE exam. Go through the food items below. 

Whole Grain and Berries

Our brain requires energy to perform efficiently well. The brain can only focus and concentrate throughout the day with an adequate supply of energy. This energy can only get from carbohydrates i.e glucose, and to get it you have to eat whole grain food. Whole grain is the best food to eat while you are studying. With this, you can add berries to your food which are rich in Vitamin C and potassium to keep the brain active. 

Dark Chocolate

So, almost everyone’s favorite dark chocolate is also in our list of healthy food to eat while studying for your exam. Rich in iron, magnesium, and fiber, dark chocolate helps to increase blood flow to the brain improving memory. Caffeine and theobromine in it help to reduce stress and improve your food. 

Tip- Go for chocolates with less than 80% cocoa to protect your teeth and weight. 

Nuts

Nuts such as almonds, cashews, walnuts, hazelnuts, and other nuts are called nutritional powerhouses. Nuts are the package of magnesium and fat that helps to keep your cortisol level low. We have seen so many students taking stress before the exam and forget what they have learned. Nuts help in improving memory and they are rich in essential oils that aid focus. Nuts are must-have to eat while studying. 

Fresh Fruits

Fruits are the package of nutrients and are always beneficial to eat other than unhealthy snacks. Here are some of the fruits you should eat to boost your memory.  

Apples–  improve your brain health, reduces anxiety. 

Tomatoes– The antioxidant lycopene in tomatoes helps to prevent radical damage to brain cells. 

Avocados– Helps improve memory and concentration. It also prevents blood clots in the brain. 

Oranges– The citrus food is rich in Vitamin C that increases mental agility and reduces stress.  

Coconut

Coconut is one of the best foods you must eat while revising for your exam. One of the top universities has revealed that the taste and smell of coconut can help you release stress. Coconut keeps the blood pressure to a normal level when you are in stress during exams. 

Green Tea

Who else loves to try different drinks while studying or their exams? You can go for green tea that helps to stay alert and focused. The antioxidants present in green tea gives a boost to the memory to concentrate. Green tea is an alternative to high caffeine products such as coffee to provide you with different benefits. 

Beetroot

Beetroot contains nitrate that boosts blood flow in the brain and helps you in better performance. Beetroot is known for improving the energy and performance level of the brain.

BEST WAYS TO INCREASE YOUR BRAIN POWER

/in , , /by

You would be surprised to know that throughout the day we use only 10% of our brain. So, if you are amazed to know this and now want to invest more of your brain into doing more productive and efficient tasks, then all you need is an excellent brain power.

For a long time, researchers and scientists used to believe that we were stuck with a brain with which we were born, but after doing numerous studies it has been disclosed that we can always increase the power of our brain.

Here are few ways through which students enhance their brain power by practicing :

  • Keep Doing Something New :

Whenever you are experiencing or learning something new then this stimulates the brain to a great extent.Don’t involve in the rut of doing the same thing on a regular basis. If you want to increase your brain power, then you need to alter the structure of your brain and the only way to do is keep doing something new.

  •  Exercise On a Regular Basis :

Another proven way to increase the brain power is to exercise regularly.Regular exercising aids the brain functionality and enhances the process of neurogenesis in the brain. So, whenever you are exercising and practicing some new exercising steps, then this helps in generating the new brain cells. As a result, this helps to increase the brain power to a high extent.

  •  Offer an Excellent Training to Your Memory:

You must have heard lots of people saying that ‘I wish I had a better and stronger memory!’ Still, no one puts in efforts to do anything about it.

But if you want to behave differently from others and want to discipline your memory to remember at least important details, like phone number, credit card number, driving license details, insurance details, and more, then you must train your memory for the same.

  • Always Be Curious:

Rather than considering everything at its face value, a better way is to engage in a habit of questioning things and products on an everyday basis.

Just try to know more about services and things that you come across on a daily basis. By being curious, you will be able to question things and when you gain knowledge about them, then this forces your brain to think more, create and innovate new ideas.

With keen curiosity, you can just not learn more about important things, but also sharpen your mind and make it work more and more.

  • Develop Positive Thinking :

Anxiety and stress are two core factors that kill the existing neurons of the brain. Even they interfere with the process of growth of new brain cells and even stop neurons from being active.

Hence, if you develop a positive thinking attitude then this will speed up the process of generation of new cells. Automatically it will reduce anxiety and stress and will further boost up new cell generation. So, no matter how worse or intense a situation is, try to handle it positively combating your negative thoughts.

  • Consume Healthy Diet
  • Stick to the Habit of Reading a Book
  • Do Simple Calculations on your Own
  • Limit the Use of Technology
  •  Take Proper Sleep
  • Play Mind Games
  • Avoid Multitasking
  • Develop the Habit of Meditation
  • Try to Stay Calm Most of the Times
  • Spend Time in Nature
  • Socialize and Hang out with Friends
  • Manage Your Time
  • Practice Doing Creative Stuff
  • Take Timely Breaks from Work

TIPS TO ENSURE SUCCESS IN YOUR JEE CAREER

/in , , , /by

The following mentioned are few tips to success on how to become successful and to know what are your career goals.

1. Priorities and study goals :

You cannot have a short term plan if your ultimate aim is to be successful and get best Rank. All that you need to be doing is having your priorities set and that your career goals for study must be completely achievable. What should be your priorities of the day must be your valid question? You should ideally make a list and of your priorities and also plan your day. The specific tasks of the day must be outlined very well with the most important and required ones on top.

A successful student will always plan. He or she will know that taking these steps will make him a top scorer student  in his or her career than doing anything else. He or she will know that it is effective utilisation of his time for the first most important thing which will judge his or her credibility. Likewise one should be in a position to determine your short-term as well as long-term educational goals. One must also evaluate the progress that is necessary very frequently.

2. Be focused :

It is very much required of you to ask yourself whether you are completely focused in life. On one hand you say that you want successful career from IITs  and on the other hand your mind goes on wandering about too many things. Selection calls for complete dedication. Keeping a time table of what you are going to do and not letting your mind sway off to doing anything else is the requirement of the day. Are you really present at your study place physically and mentally? If you allow distractions like excessive partying, weekend off, girlfriends, hanging outs with friends a routine habit, chances are that focus can get a hit. Try to block out all distractions so that you have the time to truly focus on your study and career. The first few initial year of your study life are very essential to make you a better student in studies . Try to be better with it.

3. Broaden your Learning styles you need :

You think you will be a successful student if you tell yourself your limited number of Learning styles? If that is what you are thinking about then forget it. Nothing remains the same and the world will keep demanding for more. Try to update your knowledge and Learning styles. Make sure you do seek improvement of your know-hows and what you are utterly good at. Try and attend lectures, even seminars and also many Doubt classes. Get a chance to read books, be a practitioner and learn better from all your resources.

4. Accept challenge : 

‘Successful student do not study in different ways. Instead they study differently’. This is the right proverb that can be used to adjudge the preparation of any student who wants to achieve success in his or her career. Yes it is true that a student is a true one only when he or she learns how to study efficiently. You need to take up tough challenges if you have to prove to one and all that you can study differently. By taking up tough and hard challenges you will reach those hidden points of your practice preparation where you have never disappoint before. It is a good idea to step away from your comfort zone and try to expand your preparations . When you want to see yourself reach the peak, you have to practice unlimited. Hard work and success plan and that zeal of being different is what will take you ahead. If you settle yourself into a routine and play it safe all the time, you will never ever get ahead in your career.

5. Avoid wasting time:

If you are someone who does not understand the value of time, it is high time you will have to even forget what success is. Success does not come easy. Instead it takes efforts to be successful. Each and every minute of your day will go in planning how to reach on top. Wasting time in talking, taking trips around, watching TV during work hours, social media distractions and mobile phones are a big no-no in the section. Why should one waste even a single hour of time when you know for sure that you can utilize it better at researching, talking to a few experts and managing counselor. Instead a good suggestion would be to not even waste time in going out in evenings every day. Try hard to reach your contacts very well and be friends with them instead. Be very practical when it comes to career planning things. If you ever want that break time for yourself, take it but it should not be very long. Such time management at an early stage in Preparation is what is going to make you a better student.

Effective Study Tips to get Maximum Score in JEE Main and Advanced 2019

/in , , , , /by

The JEE Advanced 2019 is now just a month away! At this crucial phase, when you are in your last leg of preparation, it is essential to work out the best Study Schedule, so that you deliver optimum on the JEE Day. Here are a few tips on How to Prepare for JEE Advanced without losing the track:

Focus on Formula, Theorems and Concepts:

By this time, your preparation for JEE Advanced should be near completion. With multiple formulae, theorems and concepts, you are likely to get confused and to avoid the same, it is advisable to pen them down and keep revising them as and when needed. It will help you recall better. You can follow other ways to memorize such as, co-relating them with names or patterns that are easy to remember.

Concentrate on Topics That You Have Studied:

As you set out on the course to attain Excellence in JEE Advanced, it is likely to encounter topics that you haven’t been studied yet. Do not take up anything new. It’s time to concentrate on topics that you have already covered and try to make your concepts and concept-connections stronger.

Do Not Let Doubts overshadow your Preparation:

It is that crucial phase of preparation when you cannot allow even a single doubt to breed. However, if you come across any, just stay calm and try to navigate the waters around it. Approach your parents, teachers and mentors if needed. If you get bogged down by any doubt, make sure you get it cleared on time.

Quality time for Revision:

Make enough time to revise what you have studied till now. Having enough time in hand will enable you to revise the concepts thoroughly. Shallow revision will not help you much. Once again, Commit to Memory, this is the time to revise what you have studied.

Learn from the mistakes in the tests: 

There are many tests available, both offline and online. It is important to develop a habit of taking tests of the same format. What is more important is to learn from the mistakes made in those tests. If you can amend those mistakes after every test, your performance will show a gradual improvement all the way. This is the only way to close the gap between preparation and performance and improve the examination temperament.

Don’t go beyond the syllabus and don’t leave a single topic in the syllabus:

All the questions asked in the JEE are from the prescribed syllabus. Some intelligent questions will check your ability to apply the concept but they are definitely not out of the syllabus. When you study from a foreign reference book, you may tend to learn topics that are not there in the syllabus. Cracking JEE is like crossing a river by a boat with maximum amount of load. If you take more than the prescribed limit, the boat will sink.

Keep a balance in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics: 

You may not like one of the three subjects but examiner hardly cares what you like. All the three subjects have equal weight age in JEE. Therefore, study all of them with equal attention.

Never neglect the N.C.E.R.T. books:

The N.C.E.R.T. books are written by some of the best brains of India and these books are quite precise and concise. Your preparation must start with N.C.E.R.T. books. Read these books thoroughly and solve all the back exercises. Also try the ‘exampler problems’ for further practice of objective questions. Remember that reading and understanding the N.C.E.R.T. books are not the same thing.

Do’s and Don’ts to be considered before the exam:

  • Do not create unnecessary stress for yourself by studying before the exam as that will have a direct impact on your result and might affect your results as well.
  • Take at least 6-7 Hours of sleep so that you wake up fresh in the morning.
  • Have a light dinner a day before the examination.
  • Reach the Examination Centre at least an hour prior to the commencement of the exam to avoid any panic situation. Precautions are always better than sufferings.
  • Have a light breakfast like sandwich etc. Don’t go empty stomach or on a full stomach.
  • Remember to carry your Admit Card and stationary as permitted.
  • Don’t discuss any subject related things with friends.
  • Don’t carry any book or notebook to the examination hall.
  • Stay away from students who are doing last minute revision in the exam centre.
  • Read the instructions given in the question paper carefully.

Key points to Enhance Accuracy, Speed and Reduce Negative Marking in IIT-JEE Exam

/in , , , /by

To clear IIT-JEE , along with good speed to solve questions, it’s also important that you maintain the accuracy in the exam. Let’s see some of the ways you can improve speed with accuracy by minimising negative marks in JEE/NEET.

Tips to Improve Speed, Accuracy and Reduce Negative Marking in IIT-JEE  Exam
  1. Stick to your exam strategy.
  2. Read the question carefully.
  3. Attempt easier questions first.
  4. Decide quickly whether you can answer the question or not.
  5. Find answer by eliminating the options.
  6. Use intelligent guessing if required.
  7. Try to avoid answering questions at the last minute.
  8. Learn shortcuts to solve MCQs.
  9. Analyse your mock tests.
  10. Make a notebook containing your mistakes.
  11. Understand concepts well and practice problems.

Stick to your exam strategy

Prepare an exam strategy and stick to it during mock tests and JEE exam. Don’t waste time by reading full question paper in detail. Only a quick glance is acceptable. Go to the section you have decided to attempt first and start solving questions.

Read the question carefully

Read the question carefully to understand what is being asked and what is given to you. See the options clearly and then only start solving the question. Pay special attention to questions with more than 1 correct answer.

Attempt easier questions first

Each question paper has a mix of easy, average and difficult questions. Doing hard questions first will waste your time and make you lose confidence. Remember both hard and easy questions carry same marks. So it’s better to attempt all the easy questions first. You may come back after finishing the paper once and then solve the difficult questions.

Decide quickly whether you can answer the question or not

While solving paper, presence of mind is required. Virtually figure how you will be solving the question. If you are sure that you can answer it, move ahead and solve it. Skip the question fast if you have no clue about how to solve it. Do not let that question eat up your time. This comes with practice. Keep on giving tests.

Find answer by eliminating the options

This method is to be used when you are not sure about the answer. Reduce the number of options by eliminating the ones which seem to be entirely or logically wrong. Among the remaining options, the one with maximum probability of getting true may be chosen.

Use intelligent guessing if required

If you feel that you have answered very few questions and stand no chance to clear the exam, then you may try this method. Keep in mind that it should not be just random guesses, you must have some idea about why you are selecting the answer like you have doubts in only two options.

Try to avoid answering questions at the last minute

Last minute hustle may increase the chances of mistakes and negative marking, so keep the last 10 or 15 minutes to check whether you correctly marked the answers (fill the OMR sheet carefully in JEE).

Learn shortcuts to solve MCQs

Learn shortcuts and tricks by solving regular MCQ tests. Experience teachers in coaching teach these methods to their students.

Analyse your mock tests

If you are getting too much negative marks in your mock tests, then you need to analyse your tests and find out the silly mistakes you are doing. Work on weak concepts/topics and clear your doubts from teachers. Don’t repeat the same mistakes in next test.

Make a notebook containing your mistakes

Make a notebook containing your silly mistakes, what went wrong, unnecessary calculations, time spent on solving the question, etc. Revise this notebook every time before a problem solving session or next mock test.

Understand concepts well and practice problems

While studying, try to grasp the main concept very clearly. Objective questions (MCQs) test your concept thoroughly. You need consistent practice to improve speed and accuracy.
