Tips & Tricks
Hey everyone!
This is Apurv, a 4th year student at IIT Kharagpur. And I’ve been asked to give you guys some ‘tips and tricks’ to crack JEE! Sounds serious, right? Well, but you needn’t worry, because I’m not going to hit you with any big words or tight schedules. I’ll keep it simple and clean.
Now, every second person you ask would give you her/ his own sweet piece of advice on how to crack JEE. Well, I’ll give you mine!
Before anything, what I consider the most important thing to get into a good IIT (to me, there are only 5 IITs, at max 7!) is a motivation. You got to have a motivation in mind as to why to go to an IIT. It shouldn’t be because all your classmates have opted for it or your elder sister or brother has studied there or your parents force you to study like mules to maintain their reputation in the society (no offence here!). Big salaries, huge cars, monthly vacations in Europe, all come much later. But then what else? Well, take this word from me. The quality of life that you get in an IIT (a good IIT, I mean!) is unparalleled. The campus life, the culture, the opportunities that you get here are something you can only dream of in some NIT or elsewhere. When I talk to my school-friends in local colleges, what I get to hear is, ‘Dude, I wish I’d have studied back then. Now you touch books just twice a year and I eat and sleep with books.’
So needless to say, you guys GOT to study!Now coming to some little serious talks, how to study. Well, every person has her or his own efficiency, and you need to determine what’s yours and under what conditions is it the best. There’s no use sitting with a book before you and thinking of John or Katrina. Go watch a movie, better! And come back and then study. But however little you study, do that with all your senses at one place.
Schedule! People say that you got to make a schedule and stick to that. People also say that even Mahatma Gandhi did that! Well, personally speaking, somehow I could never do that. As in, I made a schedule trillions of times but could never follow it and finally decided never to make one. So what I say is, if you can make a schedule and stick to that, nothing better than that. But if you somehow can’t, you needn’t worry. You’re still a normal human being. But then, you need to take care that you are not wasting more time than you think you should not.
Coming to how much to study and what to study, now this is a grave issue, that a lot of people ask. What I advise is, keep your fundamentals clear. JEE is all about clear basic concepts. Read the underlying theory again and again and solve as many problems as you can. Star-mark all the good problems that you come across and go through them again at a later time. Go through the dirty-looking formulae whenever you’re free so that even if someone wakes you up from a deep sleep in the dead of the night and asks you the ugliest-looking formula of trigonometry, you can just spit it on her/ his face and turn back and sleep. So, clear understanding of concepts and practice is all that you need. And for that, you need not study 10 hours a day. Well, if you want to, I’m not stopping you definitely. But then, it’s not a rule written in the Bible as people say. Study just as much as you are comfortable with, don’t over-strain yourself, but be systematic. And if you don’t feel like studying at all and you are not an Einstein, then I’m sorry to say but JEE is not for you!
Coming to exam-time preparation, make it highly planned. Analyze the amount of time you are left with and divide it amongst everything that you need to revise. Revise the formulae and all the problems that you’ve earlier marked as important. That will eliminate the need of going through all dirty boring theory portion. As if still have time left, go through the fundamentals again. Do take mock papers. Along with giving you practice, it boosts up confidence too.
During the exam, just don’t panic. The result of all your hardwork and toil depends upon those few hours. Hence, you need to be absolutely calm and planned. And it’ll all be over before you realize it.
So what all did we talk about? A motivation, concentration, scheduling, clear fundamentals, hell lot of practice, star-marking of everything that looks important, no over-straining and proper planned exam-time preparation. That’d suffice. And then who knows, a few years down the line, you too would be lying down on your bed with keyboard on your lap, with the 3rd movie of the day paused on your screen on a Tuesday, with not-even-distant thoughts of hated books, writing some crap like this for some stud like PK Bharti!!
No wasting of time then. Close the page and GO STUDY!
