FIRST ATTEMPT FOR JEE MAIN ? MUST READ TO CRACK THE EXAM

/in , , , /by

Students aiming for admissions to IITs  this year have to appear for JEE Main 2019, which is the most competitive engineering entrance exam. As we all know that JEE Main 2019 will be conducted in the month of January. In this article we have discussed the most important points to be focused which will help you to crack JEE Main in the FIRST ATTEMPT.

Tips to crack JEE Main 2019 in the first attempt :

1. Syllabus – students must be aware of the syllabus for the engineering entrance exam as the question paper is based completely on the syllabus only, so students must check latest and updated syllabus.

2. Paper pattern and marking scheme – apart from the syllabus, aspirants must know about the paper pattern of IIT JEE which mentions the type of questions, marking scheme, questions’ weight age as well as other important details of IIT JEE question paper.

3. Study Material – Suitable study material for preparation of examination is really important because of right study material for JEE preparation. The JEE preparation study material should include past year question papers, mock tests, NCERT books etc. so that the students can only prepare the questions based on syllabus and pattern of JEE main 2018.

4. Emphasis on theory –  JEE paper is based on numerical as well as theory questions, however, students should focus more on the theory part because most questions are formed and asked from theoretical part of chapters. Moreover, understanding theory helps in solving numerical questions easily.

5. Understanding of basic concepts – Before, starting to solve the questions for JEE preparation, make sure you know all the relevant basic concepts. Because, if your basic concepts are not clear then you will be stuck in questions for a long time and it will waste your time. As JEE paper has limited time duration students need to work on time management and clearing basic concepts will help on improving on this part.

6. Make notes for each chapter – For every chapter of JEE syllabus, you can make handy notes during preparation so, and that it is easier to revise in last few days remaining for the exam.

7. Value for quality over quantity – Instead of taking all topics at a time, you need to take concepts from each chapter one by one. This will make your understanding better as you won’t be confused and will take less time with organised learning approach.

8. Previous year question papers – Students should practice JEE Main question papers for at least past 5 years because it will help them estimate the type of question and weight age as well for each section of the test paper.

9. Give equal importance to class 11 and class 12 subjects (syllabus) – This is no hidden fact that, JEE Main question paper is based on the syllabus of class 11 as well as class 12. The weight age ratio of JEE Main question paper is either 40:60 or 60:40 for class 11 and class 12 but the ratio can be 50:50 as well. So, students need to study from the syllabus of both classes with equal importance.

10. Rejoice your studies and preparation – Don’t take stress while preparation of JEE Main rather you should enjoy and approach the exam positively. If you take the exam as a burden or obligation than you won’t be able to put your best efforts and will be stressed about it. Stress will have a negative impact and you will be prone to anxiety attacks about JEE Main results and won’t be able to perform better.

11. Analyse and take insights of your preparation level – You must regularly do self-analysis which will help you know your strengths and weaknesses. Try to cross-check your preparation level by taking mock tests from chapters you have studied long ago; this way you’ll be able to judge if you understood the concept and whether you will be able to perform in the upcoming exam with accuracy.

12. To know your actual preparation, attempt – To improve your speed and accuracy for the upcoming JEE Main exam, you should take mock test from chapters you have studied a month ago or so for example you studied Coordination compound 1 from chemistry 2 months ago and currently you are preparing Optics from JEE Main physics syllabus, then you can take a test for chemistry Coordination compound 1. This will help you analyse, your preparation for this topic. This is an unplanned manner of preparation to cross-check your preparation.

13. Solve indefinite practice papers – Last formula for success in JEE Main exam in the first attempt is by taking/solving as many as practice papers as possible. The more you practice, the more your speed and accuracy of solving the questions improves. Also, if you are taking a computer-based test of JEE Main then you must take the online mock test as many as possible, this way you will gain experience of attempting online paper on a real-time basis.

NORMALIZATION PROCEDURE BASED ON PERCENTILE SCORE BY NTA : JEE MAIN 2019

/in , , , /by

NTA will be conducting JEE Main 2019 examination on multiple dates, generally in two sessions per day. The candidates will be given different sets of questions per session and it is quite possible that in spite of all efforts of maintaining equivalence among various question papers, the difficulty level of these question papers administered in different sessions may not be exactly the same. Some of the candidates may end up attempting a relatively tougher set of questions when compared to other sets. The candidates who attempt the comparatively tougher examination are likely to get lower marks as compared to those who attempt the easier one. In order to overcome such a situation, “Normalization procedure based on Percentile Score” will be used for ensuring that candidates are neither benefited nor disadvantaged due to the difficulty level of the examination.

The process of Normalization is an established practice for comparing candidate scores across multi session papers and is similar to those being adopted in other large educational selection tests conducted in India. For normalization across sections, NTA shall use the percentile equivalence.

Percentile Scores :

Percentile scores are scores based on the relative performance of all those who appear for the examination. Basically the marks obtained are transformed into a scale ranging from 100 to 0 for each session of examines.

The Percentile Score indicates the percentage of candidates that have scored EQUAL TO OR BELOW (same or lower raw scores) that particular Percentile in that examination. Therefore the topper(highest score) of each session will get the same Percentile of 100 which is desirable. The marks obtained in between the highest and lowest scores are also converted to appropriate Percentiles.

The Percentile score will be the Normalized Score for the examination and shall be used for preparation of the merit lists. The Percentile Scores will be calculated up to 7 decimal places to avoid bunching effect and reduce ties.

The Percentile score of a Candidate is calculated as follows:

= (100 X Number of candidates appeared in the „Session‟ with raw score EQUAL TO OR LESS than the candidate)/ (Total number of the candidates appeared in the ‟Session‟)

Note: The Percentile of the Total shall NOT be an aggregate or average of the Percentile of individual subject.Percentile score is not the same as percentage of marks obtained.

Methods of Resolving Ties : 

The overall merit / ranking shall be based on the Percentile scores of the Total Raw Scores. In case of two or more candidates obtaining equal Percentile Scores in the Test, the inter-se merit of such candidates shall be determined in order of preference as follows:

(a) Candidates obtaining higher Percentile Score in Mathematics in the Test.

(b) Candidates obtaining higher Percentile Score in Physics in the Test.

(c) Candidates obtaining higher Percentile Score in Chemistry in the Test.

(d) Candidates older in age to be preferred.

Step-by -Step Procedure For Normalization and Preparation of Merit / Rank List:

Step-1: Distribution of Examines in two days and in two shifts per day
Candidates would be distributed into four sessions randomly so that each session has approximately equal number of candidates. These four sessions would be as follows:

Session-1: Day-1 Shift-1, Session-2: Day-1 Shift-2,
Session-3: Day-2 Shift-1 and Session-4: Day-2 Shift-2

In the event of more number of days or more number of shifts, the candidates will be divided accordingly.  his will ensure that there is no bias in the distribution of candidates who shall take the examination. Further, with a large population of examines spread over the entire country the possibility of such bias becomes remote.

Step-2: Preparation of Results for each Session:
The examination results for each session would be prepared in the form of
1. Raw Scores
2. Percentiles Scores separately for each of the three subjects (Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry) and the Total.

The following 4 Percentiles would be calculated for each candidate in the Session:
Let T1,M1, P1, C1 be the raw scores in Total, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry of a candidate and T1P, M1P, P1P, C1P be the Percentile Scores of Total, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry of that candidate.

Total Percentile (T1P)  = 100 X (No. of candidates appeared from the session with raw score EQUAL TO OR LESS than T1 score / Total No. of candidates appeared in the session)

Mathematics Percentile (M1P): 100 X (No. of candidates appeared from the session with raw score EQUAL TO OR LESS than M1 score in Mathematics / Total No. of candidates appeared in the session)

Physics Percentile (P1P):  100 X (No. of candidates appeared from the session with raw score EQUAL TO OR LESS than P1 score in Physics / Total No. of candidates appeared in the session)

Chemistry Percentile (C1P): 100 X (No. of candidates appeared from the session with raw score EQUAL TO OR LESS than C1 score in Chemistry / Total No. of candidates appeared in the session)

Step-3: Compilation of NTA score and Preparation of Overall Merit/Rank List :
The Percentile scores for the Total Raw Score for all the four sessions (Session-1: Day-1 Shift-1, Session 2: Day-1 Shift-2, Session-3: Day-2 Shift-1 and Session-4: Day-2 Shift-2) as calculated in Step-2 above would be merged and shall be called the NTA scores which will then be used for compilation of result and preparation of overall Merit List / Ranking. The Percentile of all four sessions will be calculated separately for the Total raw score and the raw scores in three subjects (Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry).

Compilation and display of Result for multi session Papers of JEE (Main) for examinations conducted twice (First and Second attempt) before admissions to the next academic session:

  • Compilation of Result for First attempt :
    Since, first attempt will be conducted in multi-sessions, NTA scores will be calculated corresponding to the raw marks obtained by a candidate in each session as per above procedure. The calculated NTA scores for all the sessions will be merged for declaration of result. The result shall comprise the four NTA scores for each of the three subjects (Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry) and the total for the first attempt.
  •  Compilation of Result for Second attempt:
    Similarly, second attempt will be conducted in multi-sessions, NTA scores will be calculated corresponding to the raw marks obtained by a candidate in each session as per above procedure. The calculated NTA scores for all the sessions will be merged for declaration of result.The result shall comprise the four NTA scores for each of the three subjects (Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry) and the total for the second attempt.
  •  Compilation of Result and Preparation of Merit List / Ranking:
    The four NTA scores for each of the candidates for the first attempt as well as for the second attempt will be merged for compilation of result and preparation of overall Merit List / Ranking. Those appeared in both the attempts; their best of the two NTA scores will be considered further for preparation of Merit List /Ranking.

10 WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR BRAIN POWER

/in , , , , /by

Successful persons come from all walks of life; however they all have one thing in common: where others see obscure barriers, they see challenges to embrace and obstacles to overcome.

By thinking outside the box and ability to let go of the negativity, successful people rise and shine above their limitations. And it all starts with their morning routines. Here’s how ultra-successful people utilize the first hours of the day :

  • Exercise :

    It’s no secret that exercise helps us in minimizing stress and staying fit. However, a new study says exercise is good for your brain, too. Regular exercise improves attention, memory and the brain’s ability to absorb new information.

    Find the time to exercise regularly to have a long, healthy and productive life. Exercise not only benefits your brain health and cognition, it can also improve your memory, reduce anxiety and stress, and promote better sleep. In the long run, it can even protect your brain against degeneration.

  • Meditate :

    Taking a mere 10 to 15 minutes out of your day to meditate could extend your cognitive longevity, helping you reduce your overall stress levels.Studies show that practicing meditation can help you have a far better ability to focus, positive emotions, emotional stability, and engage in mindful behaviour. These traits don’t come simply from the act of daily meditation but from structural changes in the brain caused by meditation over time.

  • Sleep well :

    Early mornings and late night studies, pressure and the stresses that come with tough competition, can have undesirable effects on your sleep patterns.Sleep is essential to consolidate memory and learning. If you don’t get enough sleep, you will have less brain in your head. You must get 7-8 hours of sleep each night consistently so that your body rests and restores itself, subsequently increasing your mental and physical energy for the next day.

  • Eat well :

    Your brain needs certain nutrients to stay at its peak performance. Get some protein such as eggs and lentils, healthy fats containing omega-3s such as walnuts and fish and complex carbohydrates such as whole grains and vegetables for your brain health.

    Perhaps, you are rushing from school to coaching, studying hard for the huge competition and board exams as well, leaving yourself with very little or no time to eat well. You need to focus on getting the right kind of nutrition. Antioxidants and amino acids are particularly important. Vitamin E, nuts, whole grains, avocados, fruits and vegetables are good for the brain.

  • Take frequent brain breaks :

    You can encourage your mind to wander and move your body to refresh your brain. Brain breaks could be in every 30 minutes or every hour depending on the difficulty of the topic at your hand. Take a walk outside or do some stretches in your room.

  • Start your day with mind-calming activities :

    Your brain requires warm up or some mental preparation for a long day. You can do activities that bring your mind a sense of calm. It can be exercise, deep breathing, listening to music, or just letting your mind wander by doing a crossword puzzle or reading the newspaper.

  • Limit multi tasking :

    Multitasking diminishes mental productivity, elevates brain fatigue and increases stress. Block out information that is not important, it will help your brain function effectively. Also, a motivated brain builds faster and more robust neural connections. Identify your passions and learn more about them.

  • Learn something new and play brain games :

    Read books, solve puzzles, learn a musical instrument, take up photography or learn a new language – that challenges your brain, stretches your creativity for improved brain power.

    You can play brain games like cross word puzzle, word scrabble or chess. You can also take up a hobby that requires you to exercise your brain- for improved brain function.

  • Do routine activities differently :

    Like the muscles, the brain needs constant challenges to grow. You can do a variety of activities; such as if you are right handed, try write with your left hand, eat your food with your left hand. It might be messy at first, but it reroutes those existing pathways, improving your brain power. The point is to keep your brain engaged in activities that are exciting and elevating; that’s the way to increase brain power.

  • Socializing :

    Research studies state that life with fun and friends can be beneficial to thinking and memory. A healthy relationship, interacting with others is probably the best way to exercise the brain; relationships can stimulate not only our emotions but also the brain. For a healthy brain, you can volunteer, join a social club, or have friends you can count on for support.

OVER 9.65 LAKH SIGN UP FOR JEE-1 DESPITE DATE CLASH WITH CLASS XII PRACTICAL TESTS

/in , , /by

Despite the date clash with class 12 practical examination, over 9.65 lakh engineering aspirants have reportedly registered themselves for the January JEE Main-1. The class 12 practical examination is also scheduled to take place in the month of January (6th to 20th). This number for the January 2019 cycle is 2.5 lakh less than that for JEE Main of April 2018, said a report in The Times of India. The candidates must note that the NTA will conduct the JEE Main for the second time in the month of April.

“The numbers are much higher than anticipated. The National Talent Agency (NTA) was expecting around 6 lakh registrations for JEE-Main 1,” a senior official told TOI. The official added, “Because of the preparation for board exams and since the second JEE will be held just three months later, we expected a smaller number. However, the registrations are close to those of previous exams. The numbers (for JEE-Main) are likely to increase in April as majority of those who take the test in January would look to improve their scores. Plus, there will be those that didn’t register in the round one.”

Engineering continues to be dominated by men, as is evident from a low 29% applications from female candidates, say MHRD sources. The report further adds that the number of SC aspirants is 9%, and that of ST aspirants is 3.7%. There are also 38 transgender aspirants.

The candidates who are appearing for the examination must note that this is for the first time that these examinations will be conducted by the National Testing Agency or the NTA. This time, the examination will be computer based.

According to the NTA, this year the examinations will be conducted across 276 cities in India. The NTA runs 3,777 test practice centres of which 1,049 have started functioning from September this year.

To help the students who are preparing for the examination, the NTA will make more test papers available for those seeking a practice session.

BEST JEE (MAINS & ADVANCED ) BOOKS FOR PHYSICS ,CHEMISTRY AND MATHEMATICS

/in , , , , /by

Confused about which books to read for your JEE preparation? Well, lakhs of students who start preparing for JEE feel the same kind of dilemma.Having cleared IIT JEE Advanced, MATRIX will share with you the books with most of Matrix students who cracked JEE used and specify the details of them, and also the reasons as to why you should or should not follow some of the books.  

 

BEST BOOKS FOR JEE PHYSICS :

Concepts of Physics by H.C. Verma – It is one the best book for physics JEE preparation. All the topics required for JEE is covered extensively. The chapters are very concise and there is no useless text. There are many solved and unsolved questions which every student must solve. There are different types of questions like short answers, multiple choice and subjective which help students to get ready for each of the types.  This book will test your concepts  and you will get to understand the logic in a very clear way. Though this book in itself is not sufficient as the number of questions are quite less for JEE standards, but this book is a must!.

 

Fundamentals of Physics by Halliday, Resnick & Walker – This book contains a lot of theory with sufficient number of real life examples, which will help you understand the topic in a very detailed manner. I would recommend it to you only if you do not understand any topic of H C Verma, because the chapters have much more explanation than is required for JEE Main and Advanced. The questions present at the end of the chapters are good and mostly inspired by some real life example, so it will be interesting to solve those questions.

 

IIT JEE Physics by DC Pandey –  This book is really good for practicing questions, but not the theory part. Though the initial edition of the book had many mistakes, it is improving year after year. So you should buy the new version of this book. There are plenty of problems which are both challenging and specific to the syllabus of competitive exams. There are many students who follow this book and have improved a lot. If you are in some good coaching then you need not do this book as you will get similar type of problems in your coaching sheets. But if you are not in any coaching, this book is best for you!

 

NCERT Text books – The basics for most problems in JEE Mains are from NCERT textbook for Physics and all you require is to alter the arguements as required in the problem. This ofcourse requires deep understanding of the concepts, which few students find difficult to learn from NCERT textbooks, hence requiring other books. But there have been few questions in the past which can be answered only by reading between the lines of NCERT chapters. While questions from most of the chapters lie within limits of NCERT, there are chapters like Optics, Rotational Dynamics, Oscillations, Waves which require a broader knowledge of the topics. For Modern Physics and Mechanics, the concepts in NCERT books seem just sufficient. It’s noteworthy here that you should definitely check out the ‘Points to Ponder’ section at the end of each chapter. Because questions from that section were served in past years’ JEE papers.

Problems in General Physics by I.E. Irodov – This book has many tough and drilling problems, even way beyond IIT JEE level. So, I will never recommend this to anyone, at least not for JEE preparation. If you are very interested in Physics and love solving very challenging problems yourself, only then you can opt for this book. There are many teachers who will recommend this book to you, but they only do so to make it sound and look “difficult”.

In Physics, concept and practice both are very important. If you practice a lot without building on your concepts, then you reach nowhere. You will see a few students do very good even without practicing a lot in Physics, this is only because they know the concept very well and can apply them efficiently.

BEST BOOKS FOR JEE ORGANIC CHEMISTRY :

Concepts of Organic Chemistry OP Tandon – This book is one of the best book for JEE’s Organic Chemistry. The theory and reactions are well mentioned and are simplified so that you can understand and learn them nicely. The chapters are well divided and structured. It includes multiple choice, matching-type, assertion reason-type and subjective questions for you to practice and are of JEE level.

NCERT Text Books  – NCERT is good but not self sufficient. You need to study some other books if you are doing NCERT, as it does not contain all the required variations in problems and reactions which are required to understand and crack JEE.

In Organic Chemistry, the most important thing is practice. If you only know the concepts, it will not help you. So, which ever book you do, make sure you practice a lot. The questions will not take much time to solve like in Physical Chemistry or Physics etc, but you need to do at least 10x more questions of this subject than that of Physical Chemistry.

 

BEST BOOKS FOR JEE INORGANIC CHEMISTRY :

NCERT Text books – For Inorganic Chemistry, this book is more than self sufficient. This is the Bible for Inorganic Chemistry. As there are concepts in every chapter, but in inorganic chemistry there are many concepts and exceptions, so you will lastly have to remember the concepts by heart, so that you do not forget or confuse during JEE Mains or Advanced. It is the truth, you will have to learn many things, so it’s important to read only the things that are in the JEE syllabus. Most of the other books for Inorganic have much more content than required, so if you follow those you will end up learning many useless things. Its good to learn by practice in Inorganic. I would like to strongly recommend you this book, you must study and solve this!

BEST BOOKS FOR JEE PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY : 

Physical Chemistry by O.P. Tandon – Same as Organic Chemistry, O P Tandon for Physical is of the finest books. The author has covered all the topics in the best way so that you can understand and apply it to solve the problems. There are many types of problems at the end of each chapter which go level by level, helping to grasp each topic nicely. Physical Chemistry is also conceptual, so its important that you understand it nicely.

BEST BOOKS FOR JEE MATHEMATICS :

Maths By R.D. Sharma – This is one of the best book for JEE to make the basics clear for Mathematics. It contains theory for each chapter which is self explanatory and the there are many solved/unsolved problems which will build your foundation for entrance exams. I will not say that it is self sufficient for JEE Advanced though, because there aren’t as many tough problems as is  required for JEE Advanced preparation. So, for JEE Advanced at least, you have to consult other books or coaching institutions sheets.

Calculus By Amit Agarwal – For calculus this book is ideal. It contains problems which will start from the basic level and go upto the highest level. There are many techniques described to quickly solve the problems which is most important for Jee. You can do it after you have done R.D. Sharma.

Algebra by S.K.Goyal – This book is one of the good for JEE preparation. There are sufficient tough questions to practice. So, again you need to do R.D. Sharma first and then this book.

NCERT Text books of Mathematics- Mathematics is regarded as the hardest section to crack in JEE Main and make it a point that you do ample practice to be able to answer as many questions as possible.NCERT books for good scores in Mathematics. Again, it is compulsory to go through problems in NCERT Mathematics because there have been instances when a problem has directly been asked from there. You wouldn’t want to miss that chance.

So, these are the few books Matrix would recommend you. There will be many people who will suggest you many books, but its important for you to first choose which will be best for you and then start it, because most of the students start one book and then shift to another in the middle, and then another. This lastly creates a chaos and the student becomes puzzled. So, choose wisely.

JEE Main 1 Exam 2019 Preparation Tips for Aspiring Students

/in , , /by

The exam will comprise of Paper 1 and Paper 2 and depending upon the student’s preferences he/she may appear for paper 1 and/or paper 2; however, for candidates seeking admission in Undergraduate courses in IITs must to appear for Paper 1 (B.Tech/B.E.).

JEE Mains 1 Exam 2019 will be conducted by the newly formed NTA (National Testing Agency) and will be held twice before the admissions into the next academic session 2019-20. The registration for the same began on 1st September and will continue till the 30th of September 2018 (last date for fee payment is 1st October 2018). JEE Mains-I will be conducted between 6th to 20th January 2019 across the country.

Paper 1 will be a computer based test which will have questions from Physics, Chemistry and Maths and will be held in 2 shifts of 3 hours each i.e. 09:30 am to 12:30pm and 02:30 pm to 05:30pm.

On the other hand, Paper 2 will be held in one sitting only and will consist of 3 parts namely – Part1-Mathematics, Part 2- Aptitude Test and Part 3 – Drawing Test. Parts 1 and 2 will be computer based while Part 3 will be a pen and paper based offline test.

Paper 1 will comprise of 30 Questions each from Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. Every correct answer will get you 4 marks but for every wrong answer 1 mark will be deducted. The exam will have a total of 120 questions with a total of 360 marks.

Here are a few tips on how to go about your preparation for the January exam along with your regular studies for Boards:

1. First and foremost, go through the syllabus.

Go through the vast syllabus and try to analyze and segregate the topics into 3 categories i.e. topics you know, topics you don’t know and the difficult topics.
Also, there are a lot of topics that are overlapping between class 12th and the JEE exam, identifying them and studying them will help you, both for the JEE exam as well as for the boards. It is also important that you study simultaneously a concept that you know along with the one you don’t or a difficult one to wind up with your syllabus within appropriate timelines.

2. Make a study schedule

Time table or a schedule with small daily, weekly and monthly targets which are realistic will go a long way in not only getting you into a routine but will also help you in ascertaining the time you require to complete your preparation and whether you’re lagging behind overall or are on the right track.

3. Previous Year Papers 

Do not ignore or skip this part as it is the most crucial in understanding the pattern and type of questions being asked in the exam, the level of difficulty, how much you already know in each subject and how much more effort you need to put in. Time and again, JEE Toppers have cited the value of previous year papers.

4. Mock Tests

The adage ‘Practice makes a man perfect’ holds true even today. Once you have completed the entire syllabus go for full length mock tests to assess how well you’re prepared. In addition focus on time management during these mock tests. After giving mock tests don’t leave it at that rather analyze the questions you couldn’t attempt and the questions where you erred so as to identify your weak areas.

5. Your health

Health here includes both the physical and mental aspect. Eat healthy, exercise daily, keep yourself hydrated and take timeout once in a while for the fun activities that you love doing. Further, meditate and don’t overstress yourself. Keep yourself motivated and don’t lose hope. Trust yourself and trust that you can do it!

6. Revision Strategy

Once you’re done with the preparation, focus on revision as it helps in consolidation of all the knowledge and information you’ve studies so far. Given below is a subject wise revision strategy that might help you –
Firstly, start by revising the most important topics for the JEE mains exam.
Once that’s done, focus and revise topics that are your weak areas and concepts that you identified from mock tests or any other form of self analysis. Study the concepts that you’re not good at again and solve questions based on them.

Once you’re done with the revision of the weak concepts, start with the revision of the whole syllabus of the 3 subjects wherein automatically you’ll again revise both the most important topics as well as your weak areas.

To revise Physics effectively and efficiently –

Study every topic from your notes quickly and solve questions covering the areas you’ve studied. In case a concept is not clear ask your teacher or watch videos on the internet and then solve questions again to test your understanding. Learn the formulae, equations and their derivation as well. Practice questions, especially during revision go for questions that have a higher difficulty level.

To revise Chemistry efficiently, ensure that the concepts of organic, inorganic and physical chemistry are clear to you. In addition, practice and learn by heart the various formulae, equations and reactions. Lay special emphasis on organic chemistry due to the vast number of reactions in that section. Solve as many questions as you can with a higher difficulty level.

For revision of Mathematics, make sure you comprehend and retain the various formulae under each topic. Solve questions and problems on every topic.

Lastly, don’t be tough on yourself. Give it your best shot and in case you don’t get through don’t feel disheartened as the exam will be held once again before the 2019 academic session starts!
Good luck!
