Unlike JEE (Main) where your scope of knowledge is tested, the general preparation strategy for JEE (Advanced) is to build a strong foundations of concepts and developing skills to tackle numerical problems, that need calculations as well as a good aptitude. To that end, one needs to be well versed in the theory pertaining to each topic and test one self’s understanding of the theory by solving short answer type and Assertion reason based questions. Besides, a good number of subjective problems should be tackled by the student in order to build a deeper understanding of concepts. Finally, to build spped and accuracy, a student must practice a good number of MCQs.

The students can follow these steps. These all steps will help for better examination preparation:

Step 1:   Plan a routine before the exam

Step 2: Solve 3-4 mock tests daily

Step 3:  Refer class 11 and Class 12 syllabus and make some short notes on the important topics.

Step4: Try to work on your weak areas and improve your performance in typical questions, which you falter in.

Step 5: Selection of questions is very important. Choose the questions from the portions you are strong at

Step 6: Do not worry if the first two hours of the paper prove to be average for you. Make sure that you do well in third hour

Step 7: Time must be checked while answering a question. It is better to attempt a lengthy question later

Step 8: Around 40 minutes should be spent on each section. The last 30 minutes should be reserved for reviewing the performances and attempting the tricky questions

Important topics for JEE (Advanced)

Since there is no unique distribution of marks among the various topics, it is hard to categorize the subject-matter as either important or unimportant. However, in order to maximise the score and to make the most of the available time, it is important to prioritise the syllabus. To this end, the top priority topics for each subject are:

• Physics - In addition to Mechanics and Electrodynamics; the two most important and vast topics, separate time must be allotted to Heat and Thermodynamics, Optics and Modern Physics. Generally neglected by students, these topics are high scoring areas in IIT-JEE besides being easy to understand.
• Chemistry - Sufficient time must be devoted to general principles of Organic Chemistry, as this will make the remaining part easy to comprehend. Because of the numerical problems (scoring and not too difficult) associated with it, Physical Chemistry is important. Make a special time table and be prepared for continuous revision to learn the various facts and figures associated with Inorganic Chemistry.
• Mathematics – Understanding the correlation between the various topics is key to mastering mathematical problems. For example, the knowledge and skills developed by understanding and preparing the chapter Coordinate Geometry, can be used to solve problems in complex numbers.Vector analysis too is helpful in dealing with problems associated with the aforementioned. Similarly, solving problems of Probability requires a strong grasp of  Permutation and Combinations. Formula and problem solving skills developed by thorough practice of Trigonometry are useful in almost all topics. And Calculus, of course, the ultimate mathematical tool which finds use in almost every topic in Physics and Chemistry, should be made top priority – This above all.
