RSS- If you are preparing for AIEEE, then you must understand that the level of difficulty in these papers is much less as compared to that in IITJEE. The first thing one must do is attempt/try solving as many previous year papers as you can get a hold of. QUESTIONS IN THESE PAPERS ARE OFTEN REPEATED (if not the exact same question, then similar questions can definitely come). Why loose marks in questions which have already appeared in earlier tests?
- Lots of questions in these papers are formula based (unlike IITJEE). So make sure you remember all PCM formulae and have thorough knowledge of how and when to apply which.
- These tests are primarily speed tests. The hardly test your mental ability or conceptual understanding. They test how quickly you can answer simple, straight forward questions. So if you are naturally slow in solving problems, you are in for trouble. Remember that people, who top these tests, finish the entire test. People who are just able to make it, attempt at least 80% of the test. But knowing this, if you now try to hurry up and try to attempt all questions (without making sure if the choice you entered was correct or not), then you might loose marks in negative marking. So try to be fast; give lots of model tests at home; see your score for yourself at the end of the test; observe your improvement.

Last minute preparation tips for AIEEETuesday, April 26th, 2011 by PrtyagiTips for IIT JEE Success #1 – MotivationMonday, December 27th, 2010 by adminWhat is motivation? Motivation is a desire that activates us to take action to fulfill that desire. So, what is your motivation to appear in IIT JEE? This is a question only you can answer. Whatever the reason, please remember that it is choice you have made. It has not been thrust upon you by somebody else. If you choose to compete for IITs then you should raise your level of performance to be able to crack it. Considering the level of competition, it calls for a tremendous effort mentally and physically. If you don’t have a very clearly articulated reason to appear in IIT JEE, you may find it difficult to keep yourself motivated through the period of preparation. Most people are very enthusiastic and motivated when they start their preparation for IITJEE. However, only those few, who manage to maintain that motivation till the end, crack good ranks in IIT JEE Create a ‘Motivational Strategy’ ‘I want to learn’: If we look at ourselves, we have always been very keen and curious on learning new things. This gets lost somewhere during the school education. IITs provide a great opportunity to satisfy that desire to acquire knowledge. ‘I want to be independent’: We all grow up to be independent adults. Independence can be financial, social and emotional. We live in the protected environment of our households, schools and society. IITs provide the best grooming environment for professional, sports, academic, cultural and literary growth. ‘I want recognition’: All of us like to be recognized for being good at certain things. It helps us feel good about ourselves. IITians are recognized the world over for their knowledge and skills. They are treated with respect and love. Similarly, link all your goals and desires to the positive outcome of what you want to achieve. Secondary Motivation Motivational Support Self-motivated people also, falter and need help getting back on track. Setup a motivational support system at home, at school, and at work. The support system may be as simple as a “buddy system” with friends. Declare your intentions of cracking IIT JEE with good rank, among your family members. Let them know how you are completely focused on it. All those who care about you will, thereafter, automatically support you. They will encourage you to keep putting your best. Have discussions with them related to IITs and IITJEE. Keeping IIT JEE at the top of your mind helps in keeping the focus. It helps to talk and discuss your problems with your support system. Such conversation help in breaking the monotony and boredom Check the following sources for motivational support. Engage in positive Self-Talk Write down all the desires in your life. It is the knowledge of these desires that will propel us towards our success. Be absolutely honest while writing them down. Don’t worry if your desires do not look good when you write them down on paper. Link those desires to your success in IITJEE.
Some examples of these desires are: ‘I want to learn’: If we look at ourselves, we have always been very keen and curious on learning new things. This gets lost somewhere during the school education. IITs provide a great opportunity to satisfy that desire to acquire knowledge.

Tips for IIT JEE Success #2 – Study Hard & SmartMonday, December 27th, 2010 by adminYou should have a well thought out methodology for your IIT JEE preparation. Setup a Routine: The 1st step of smart and successful studying is to build a routine. A lot of our time and energy gets lost in deciding about the time and place of work. It is easy to procrastinate (postpone work) in absence of a routine.
Posture: Sit in an alert posture We can’t study effectively if we are not alert. If you are sprawled on the bed or sitting in a reclining posture, your body gets the message that it is time to rest. The mind stops working or becomes slow. Typically, the effectiveness becomes less than 25%. 1 hour of such study is equal to 15 minutes of study in an alert posture on your table and chair. Do not fool yourself by counting such time as study. It is similar to us not being able to sleep while standing. When we are standing, the body gets a message that this is not the time to sleep. Stay healthy : Achieving and maintaining high levels of performance (critical for success in IIT JEE) are difficult if an individual is in poor physical or mental health. It is important that one gets adequate rest, exercise, and nutrition. Good mental performance can be achieved only with good physical health. Spending some time regularly in outdoor, physical activity like sports, running walking etc. is absolutely essential. Relaxation and concentration techniques of Yoga are very useful. Organize study material: Keep all your homework material in one place, ready to be used. Keep it organized, and you won’t need to waste your time searching for it when you get down to studying. Decide upon the material that you are planning to study during your preparations. Most of us don’t have enough time to complete even one set of IIT JEE course material. Collecting more than one set is a wastage of time. It also ends up confusing the student. Most of the coaching have very similar course material. A little better material does not make much of the difference. As a matter of habit, do the following in your study of the material*
*Set yourself a deadline for completing each component and make sure you stick to it. Distractions: Cell-phones, friends, SMS, TV, Video games, surfing, chatting are some of the biggest time drains. Most of the students lose maximum amount of time in these activities. These activities do not require much effort (unlike sports) and they can go on for a long time. There is nothing wrong in indulging in such activities for entertainment. However, it is important to watch the time that gets consumed. Some methods of dealing with distractions are:
Avoid ‘Marathon’ sessions: Marathon study sessions (longer than 1 hour) are the least productive way to study. Typically, most of us have attention spans ranging from 30 minutes to 60 minutes. The mind starts getting distracted after this attention span. It is good idea to unwind and take 10-15 minute breaks after every study session. Tips for IIT JEE Success #3 – Develop a System- The Ultimate WeaponMonday, December 27th, 2010 by adminDevelop a System- The Ultimate Weapon to Win the IIT JEE Battle Compile the study material Some questions that come to our mind are:
There is little time to complete one set of textbooks. It is next to impossible to complete two different sets. Keep just one set of text books for studying the theory (concepts, definitions) and basic problems. The new pattern of IITJEE has brought it much closer to the school syllabus. So, ideally, it should be the textbook recommended as part of your school syllabus. There is very little difference in the theory presented from one textbook to another. After one set of textbooks is completed, students can look at other books as reference. Similarly, keep just one set of IITJEE course material. Note: Collecting too much material is a recipe for disaster After you have chosen the material that is best for you, how do you put it to the best use? There are as many different ways to study, as there are different people. The trick is to find the study style that works best for you. Read This is one of the most useful activity. It takes minimum effort and brings maximum result. Students, who are used to studying from coaching notes, tend to avoid reading. This is the single biggest reason for their failure. No coaching notes can replace reading of textbooks. The information you gain from reading is important. If you just “do it” without learning something, it is a waste of time. Train your mind to learn! Read the following: 1. Title Understand You must understand thoroughly the major ideas and concepts presented. Without such a conceptual framework, you will find yourself faced with the impossible task of trying to cram hundreds of isolated facts into your memory. * Locate and note down the new terms, which are introduced in the chapter. Note: It is a good idea to keep a glossary of your own in the front page of the book. Record the terms and their definition or the page number where the definition is located. This is an excellent aid to refer to when you are reviewing for an examination, as it provides a convenient outline of the course. Ask question * Write down the key takeaways (learning) from every topic (make notes) Tips for IIT JEE Success # 5 – Create a competitive study groupSaturday, December 25th, 2010 by adminPrepare a competitive study group Your best source of cooperation is your competition. Working with a competitive study group goes a very long way in the successful preparation of IITJEE. When you decide to study in groups, you recreate a cooperative environment to multiply your knowledge exponentially. Students can learn very quickly by sharing their knowledge, skills and resources. Group formation guidelines

Tools for measuring IIT JEE preparation: Activity tracking checklistWednesday, December 22nd, 2010 by adminAfter the planning has been done, we should keep a track of the work done. Measuring our work in this manner will give us a sense of achievement on a regular basis. This will also give us a continuous view of the work that is remaining. We have pasted, for the benefit of the students, a saI didmple checklist or activity trakcer. Students realize, after filling this table that, the topics where they are weak belong to the category where the required activities have not been done. Activity tracker: Please put a tick mark (?) in front of all the activities you have completed.
Tools for measuring IIT JEE preparation: Self AssessmentTuesday, December 21st, 2010 by adminSelf Assessment: Assess and mark yourself on a scale of 1 to 5 on your level of preparedness for each topic, where 5 is very good and 1 is very bad
You should give yourself a score of 5 when you are among the top 5% in your peer group. You should give yourself a score of 1 when you are among the bottom 50% in your peer group.
In order to get a good rank in IITJEE, you should target a score of 5 in every topic. You may notice that the topics where you have scored 3 or less are the ones where you have not completed the activities as per the plan. Prepare a new plan to study the topics, where you have scored 3 or less. Identify sub-topics, concepts which are causing problems. Different subjects, different skills – how to study Math, Physics and ChemistryMonday, December 20th, 2010 by adminMath Math is the study of quantity, structure, space, and change. It is a tool we use to solve real-life problems. So, proficiency in math is measured by our ability to use it to solve difficult problems. Students who are weak in math, typically, study without writing and practicing with pen and paper. They may be spending a lot of time in reading, remembering or trying to understand the problems. Mathematics requires us to practice solving problems with pen and paper. Only by attempting problems in various ways do we become proficient in applying the quickest method in the shortest time. So, students who like to study by practising with pen and paper, automatically tend to excel in mathematics. Physics Physics is the study of matter and its motion through space-time and all that derives from these, such as energy and force. Physics requires thorough understanding of concepts. Proficiency in physics is measured by our ability to reconstruct or model the physical world through the various laws it follows, and predict the outcome of a given situation. Application of formula to solve problems requires modeling the problem into solvable mathematical equations. Typically, the mathematics involved in solving the problems is very simple. Most students get stuck in the modeling of the problem. They don’t know the method of applying the formula to arrive at a mathematical model to solve the equation. If one does not understand the problem and application of the formulae, no amount of practice will help. Even if one has a perfect memory of the formula and quantities involved, it would not be possible to solve the problem. Just knowing and remembering the concepts as written in the books may not be enough. Students who are weak in Physics, do not spend time in reading and understanding the concepts. They may be spending a lot of time in reading, remembering and practicing the problems. Physics requires reading, thinking, visualizing, integrating and understanding. Students who spend time in reading and understanding concepts, do well in physics. Chemistry Chemistry is the science concerned with the composition, behavior, structure, and properties of matter, as well as the changes it undergoes during chemical reactions. It is the study of various atoms, molecules, crystals and other aggregates of matter whether in isolation or combination, which incorporates the concepts of energy and entropy. Physical chemistry requires thorough understanding of concepts to solve problems. Inorganic chemistry requires knowledge of properties and reactions. Organic chemistry requires understanding as well as knowledge of the compounds and their reactions. All in all, we find that there is a lot more to learn in chemistry than physics and maths combined. Students who are weak in chemistry do not read and remember. They may be spending time in trying to understand the system or practicing the problems. Chemistry requires reading, integrating, learning and revising. Students who spend time in reading and learning naturally do well in chemistry. Proficiency in physics is measured by our ability to reconstruct or model the physical world through the various laws it follows, and predict the outcome of a given situation. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
