Tips For Jee Advance 2013
Dear Student, The countdown to 2nd June has begun and you will be appearing for the JEE Advance exam for which you have worked hard for the last 2 years. Based on my own experiences and the experiences of my past students, I wish to give you some advice which may make a little difference and can help you improve your performance in the exam. Believe in yourself The first step is to maintain a very positive and cool mental attitude. Avoid unnecessary tension or anxiety. Getting nervous, or thinking about the outcome of the exam, worrying about the unfinished portion etc is not going to help you in any way. These things will only waste time and demoralize you. Try to develop the exam temperament and strategize to finish the papers in time. The best formula you will ever learn and I completely believe in it - One, who wins, is the one who thinks, he can. Body cycle Mould your body cycle so that your concentration levels are highest during JEE ADVANCE 2013 exam timings. This point has always been under stated. Just like we tune our bodies to wake up at, say, 7 am everyday; the concentration levels can also be tuned to be highest at certain time of the day. To achieve this, avoid irregular sleeping and waking times. Schedule your daily activities, as if its June 2nd and follow this till the JEE Advance. Most importantly, create exam like conditions and take all the mock tests during the timings of the JEE Advance. Not only will this tune your concentration, but it will also enable you to cope with stress. What should I study in these last few days ? The focus has to be on revision and one must strengthen the topics. At this stage do not study a new topic. Instead try to strengthen the topics which you have already covered earlier. A few topics which one has never touched should be avoided. The logic is, if you attempt 85% paper and if you do it fully correct you can be amongst the top 100 ranks in the country. Be extra careful about small things like carrying your hall ticket , reaching in time , carrying few sharpened pencils and a rubber on the exam day . Reach much before time at the centre, avoid too much talking, and be well prepared with your hall ticket. Parents must ensure that they visit the centre once personally before the exam day. They must help the child in locating the centre and the room without letting the child getting worried. Once you get the paper:
1. One must read the instructions very carefully. 2. Fill in your name and roll number properly, be extra careful about this.
3. Keep your mind open. IIT JEE is known for throwing surprises by changing the exam
pattern or introducing new style of questions. If there is anything new, it is new for everyone, so dont waste time worrying about it. Be the best one to perform in the given conditions. 4. If by any chance you discover some fault in the JEE paper (which is rare) , you are not going to get a Noble prize for pointing it out to the invigilator and even the invigilator has no authority to change it all over India . So even if there is a mistake and even if you are sure, skip it and move on. That question will be disqualified in any case or you were making some silly mistake. 5. In the first round just do the questions which are getting solved easily and any question which you find tough or seems to be time consuming should be left and attempted in the second round. There should not be a single question which you could solve easily but you couldnt reach it because you got stuck on some question which was time consuming or you were not sure of. 6. One may prefer to attempt his favorite subject first. But the rule that any problem which appears tough or is too time consuming must be skipped immediately. One has to reach till the end and ensure that everything which was easy, even if it was in the end of the paper, has been attempted. 7. During the exam just concentrate on yourself. There are funny and insincere people who will be creating stupid and funny situations and sounds as many of them have just come to the exam because of their parents. Do not get distracted by such elements or by their behavior. 8. During the mid , that means say after one hour of the exam one finds a little slowdown in the thought process at such moments one has to breathe properly and become active by mentally and physically shaking himself. Your sitting posture should also be correct. 9. Do not eat heavy food in the morning or during lunch on JEE day. One should eat fruits like grapes, banana or light but energy giving food. Glucose powder or a chocolate will keep you energetic but no overdose also. 10. After the first paper do not discuss it with friends at all. Take a light meal and a power nap for some time. This is the best way to recharge you for the next paper. 11. Due to any reason even if the first paper was tough or maybe you couldnt perform really well, please do not let it affect your performance in the next paper. Most students will try to show off their friends and parents that they have done the full paper and you might unnecessarily demoralize yourself. Simply try to do your best in the second paper. Do not even try to find the reaction of others about the first paper. If it was a tough paper, it was tough for everyone and if it was easy, it was easy for everyone. You have to do your best, thats it. Labour never goes in vain. I am sure your efforts and hard work will fetch you the desired results. All my teachers who have groomed you for two years join me in conveying our best wishes and whole hearted blessings to you. God bless you all.
