Revise class 11th parallel to class 12th

The post will be useful for the following :

JEE 2015 aspirants (those who are entering class 12th this year)
JEE 2016 aspirants (those who are entering class 11th this year)
How to revise ? One of the most difficult question a JEE aspirant has to face.
How should I revise class 11th syllabus parallel to class 12th ? - I will try to answer
this question in this post
Different methods are suitable for different subjects.
Some people would prefer revising from books. Others are comfortable with revision
packages.

We will go subject wise :

Revising Maths : Keep solving as many questions as you can. This is the best way to
revise maths. It has a number of benefits, most important one being - you won't
forget formulas. Additionally, if you are prone to forgetting the formulas, then you
should maintain a notebook enlisting all the important formulas in a clear and concise
form so that you can go through them quickly in a very short time. Note that you have
to prepare the notebook in such a way that you can go through it in a very short time.
The reason is that - it's boring to revise the same old formulas if it takes a lot of time.
However, if they are written in concise form, then you will be able to revise them
more number of times. A better option would be (what I did) to write the formulas in
an A4 sheet and carry it with you always. So that you can go through it when ever you
have time.
Reading the entire topic again and again from a book would be waste. If you have
already covered a topic well, then to revise - the best choice would be to solve
problems. For this, you may pick up anything - FIITJEE GMP / TMH / your own
coaching material / revision packages. The point is that you should try fresh
questions. Also note that you should remember standard questions that have a hidden
trick so that you can co-relate it to some other question.
The key to learning maths is solving problems

Revising Physics : I would take up chemistry in the end because it needs more
description. Class 11th physics mainly involves mechanics and thermodynamics. The
plan would be almost same as that of maths - solve as many problems as possible from
the revision packages / books. Additionally, you need to revise the theory portion in
physics. For that, I would suggest reading HC Verma. HC Verma is very important from
the point of theory. There are small hidden theoretical points that are usually
overlooked by students and then these points are asked in More than one correct type
questions in JEE. So, it's better to give this book a quick reading over the weekend.
To solve questions, I would prefer revision packages over books because they contain
objective type questions that are in accordance to the current JEE pattern. I was from
FIITJEE so, I used to solve FIITJEE workbooks, Review package, GMP(I got it from my
centre at the end of class 11th itself), and of course HC Verma.
Revising Physical Chemistry : Physical chemistry is more like physics. So the
approach would be same as that of physics - read books, solve questions. I would
suggest reading NCERT so as to cover all the minute theoretical points that are
commonly picked up. Basically NCERT will do the job of HC Verma (for theory). To
solve problems, I used same material as given in physics section. Additionally, I solved
subjective (solved) examples of RC Mukherjee to develop a deep thinking and a better
command over the topic.
Revising Inorganic Chemistry : It is highly likely that you did nothing in inorganic
chemistry except chemical bonding. When I say inorganic chemistry, I mean s-block
and p-block. Now is the time to do it. You can easily prepare it if you spend just 1
hour a day - 15 minutes revision and 45 minutes mugging new things. Read read and
read - nothing more. Inorganic is all about revision and cramming (with sometimes
logical thinking as well).

Revision plan :
Now I will be answering the question - "How to balance revision + backlogs + current
chapters"

There are 24 hours in a day. Assuming that you sleep 8 hours a day, you are left with
16 hours. Now you might dump another 3 hours in your daily work like eating, bathing,
etc. So you are left with another 13 hours. Assuming that you need 3 hours of
relaxation, finally you are left with 10 hours - That's a God damn huge amount of
time!!!

10 hours a day

Now, let's plan it in our way.

We need around 2 hours per subject daily to progress in that subject. So, this way, 6
hours are gone. We are left with 4 hours, or rather 4 study hours (note that we have
counted 3 hours of relaxation and 3 hours extra already). Assuming that you are
spending 1 hour with inorganic chemistry, you are left with 3 hours.
Now in these 3 hours, you will be doing 2 things covering previous chapters in which you are weak
Revising the previous chapter
Both of them cannot be done in a single day usually.
So, you might plan to cover your left out weak topic say on Monday and you may do
the revision the next day - and repeat this.
Monday - cover weak topic
Tuesday - revise
Wednesday - cover weak topic
Thursday - revise
.
.
.
.
Now you might be thinking that how to plan all this on coaching days ?
For that, you will have to cut short the things. First of all, you should not spend 3
hours in relaxation - that's a huge wastage of time. Secondly, 1-2 more hours can be
saved from those 3 extra hours. I wouldn't recommend decreasing your sleep hours
because I believe that body needs 8 hours of sleep. On coaching days, you will have to
plan your day yourself - remember I mentioned in one post that I used to plan my next
day every night before I slept ? It's one of the best planning tools.
Those who attend school : You people need to plan the things yourselves. Some 7-8
hours a day are usually wasted in school you you need to plan the things in a really
smart way.

To summarize - These are the general revision strategies and you may like to use them
throughout the 2 years. You may use the techniques mentioned to revise your class
12th syllabus as well.
PS : Do not post questions like "Is ..... possible in 2 months ?", "Which revision package
is the best ?", "Can I get .... rank if I study only for 1 year ?", etc. Such questions won't
be answered and would be completely ignored.
As far as choosing revision packages is concerned - go through other posts and the
comments in them.

Revision portion is very important as far as JEE preparation is concerned. Human brain
is not a 64 GB memory card. You can't store everything at once especially when it
comes to inorganic chemistry and practical organic chemistry.
JEE syllabus is huge and they test your memorizing power too!!
There are certain topics that are supposed to be revised frequently. You should do the
same for the topics that you forget easily. For me, inorganic chemistry (especially pblock) and practical organic chemistry were such topics. Besides there were some
formulae in modern physics and integration that needed a regular revision. For
formulas, it is advisable to make a notebook containing all the necessary details. It
helps a lot. And don't forget to revise the same on every weekend. You will realize
that after say a couple of weekends, you are perfectly fine with those topics. This is
the general revision strategy to be followed for entire JEE preparation.
Coming to the revision strategy after syllabus is completed. All I can say is solve solve

and solve as many problems as you can from all topics. This will help you in 4 ways :

your speed will improve

your accuracy will improve

No need of explicit revision

your weak points will come ahead

now after knowing your weak areas, try to solve more and more problems from these
portions.
In my case it was Permutations and Combinations, Modern Physics and
Thermodynamics and of course a large portion of chemistry because I was relatively
weak in that subject.
These chapters will decide your rank because these are the portions where most
people are weak so if you cover these, then that would definitely give you an edge
over others.
You can also go for specialized revision packages like the ones provided by
FIITJEE(GMP + RTPF) or Resonance(Rank Booster).
Joining a test series helps a lot. If you are confident of getting say an under 100 rank
then FIITJEE would be a good option but FIITJEE test series might prove to be a
disaster because it too tough and far above JEE level. Resonance test series is a good
option , although I never tried it.
Go ahead and Crack It!!!

Ideas for efficient revision sessions

I received tonnes of requests on "How to revise ?"

Here are a few methods that are based on my own experience. Note that my strategy
might completely fail for you. So it's best to discover one's own techniques when it
comes to revision, which is a crucial stage in JEE preparation.
First of all, I will write about Chemistry because this is something that needs infinite
revision.
Inorganic chemistry : As I have been emphasizing from the beginning, inorganic
chemistry requires a lot of revision. I had my own strategy. I used to :
1.)read from books (NCERT/JD Lee/FIITJEE packages etc)
2.)fix in my mind as much as I could in one shot
3.)maintain a diary wherein I used to mention all those facts which I didn't
remember/used to forget easily
4.)revised that diary daily during the last couple of months
5.)revised the stuff of point number 2 (above) on weekends
This way, I ensured that I did not forget the things that have been covered so far.
Note : although I have mentioned JD Lee here. You can simply ignore it
Summary : re-read NCERT
Organic chemistry : towards the end of my preparation, I made a full reading of
Morrison and Boyd to ensure that nothing is left from HC Verma of chemistry (Morrison
Boyd is regarded as HC Verma of chemistry). I solved numerous problems to ensure
that I am ready to apply the reactions on the final day.
Another important thing was that I revised all the "Key mechanisms" of LG Wade.
They are the most important mechanisms and a table is given in the book that lists all
the page numbers of the Key mechanisms. That table is meant for quick revision.
Summary : solve problems
Physical Chemistry : I solved the problems of RC Mukherjee (note that there are
objective problems at the end of book). I regularly revised the chapter - Colloidal
state
Summary : solve problems
Maths : for maths, I revised algebra from TMH. Co-ordinate geometry, Trigonometry
from FIITJEE packages, Calculus from Arihant Differential and integral
calculus (best pair of books for calculus) and Vectors/3-D geometry from ML
Agarwal (ISC board Maths book)
Summary : solve problems
Physics : In physics, I was proficient in numericals but the thing that bowled me were
the theory based questions that are frequently asked in more than one correct type
problems. So I revised HC Verma fully (meaning the theory portion) and solved the
objective I and II and discussed it with my teachers.

Summary : solve problems

Note that most of the summaries contain the tag - "solve problems".
Reasons :
1.)you are applying the formulas so you are forced to recall them (this is what you'll
be doing on D-day)
2.)you are practicing more and more questions
3.)your speed is increasing
4.)your accuracy is increasing
5.)your examination temperament is improving
Last piece of advice :
1.)Do not waste time after JEE main. Utilize this fully for you revision. This time is
going to decide your rank. The one who wastes this time is going to be ruined on the
JEE day
2.)If you JEE main doesn't go fine, don't be depressed
3.)Revise all the subjects daily - one subject per day is dangerous
4.)Keep pen and paper with you (for solving problems and not as a show piece)
5.)Practice as many problems as possible
6.)last and final one - don't be over confident. There are super stud people in every
fields that are way ahead of you

This post focuses on KVPY.

Unfortunately I didn't give KVPY in class 11th because I wasn't aware of the deadlines.
But , as i heard from my friends - It's easy to crack and many of my friends did it!! As far as I
know , the interview is a bit difficult (may be a rumor).
For class 12 KVPY aspirants , KVPY is like a cakewalk. You can crack the exam very easily if
you have prepared well for JEE. Don't forget to cover the topics of JEE main Syllabus because
KVPY doesn't have any "well defined" syllabus.
As far as I remember 11 of my friends appeared for KVPY and all cleared stage 1 and stage 2
both.
You will hear a lot from your friends - "Interview is very difficult , they ask tough questions
and try to test your advanced skills" - wrong , wrong and WRONG !!
The interviewers are really good , humble and gentle . They assume you to be a student of
class 12 and not at all "a scientist". They ask simple questions of board level. You need not
look "extremely smart" or an "intelligent guy". They won't judge you by your looks. What they
need is a research oriented brain.
Ofcourse most students (including me) appear for KVPY only for a certificate.
In the end - Keep calm and study!

The last few months are very important.

Waste this time and time will waste you.
Time is precious during the last few months. Especially the time between JEE Main
and JEE Advanced. This time is the rank deciding factor.
Let me make it a bit more explanatory. The people who haven't prepared well during
the past two years are going to make full use of this time. Such students were not
able to prepare well because of say school exams, board exams etc. But now(after
board exams are over), they are completely free of any load and will charge
themselves to the fullest.
They might easily go ahead if you don't work hard. So better utilize this time.
To be precise, do the following :

Do endless revision of inorganic chemistry. If you don't revise now, then it will
be washed away.

Solve innumerable problems of organic and physical chemistry.

Solve as many problems as you can from various topics.

Make a clear list of topics/chapters in which you are weak.

Practice infinite problems of the chapters in the above list.

Make sure you have completed NCERT books thoroughly.

Make sure that you are solving a good amount of problems in a given time.
Always have a timer with you to time yourself.

Take special care of your health. You don't want to waste even a fraction of this
time.

Increase your study hours by around 10%.

Think about your target. Keep the target in mind and stay motivated.

Do well in the test series. Make sure to analyse your mistakes in every paper.

Note down the silly mistakes that you committed in the exams and make it a
point that you don't repeat the same mistake again.

Revise your coaching notes regularly.

Cut down your extra curricular activities especially those activities in which
your body gets exhausted (sports etc)
Word hard, work smart. The IITs are calling you.

The time that will matter

Edit : A number of edits have been suggested in this post by one of my friends which
have been taken into account and the post is now in it's final structure.
This post is dedicated to the time that will matter - the time after Board exams and
before JEE Main - the time that is extremely crucial and the time that will greatly
change your JEE Main rank if utilized properly - the 15 days time that may change
your future.
You might think that you are listening to some news channel where a news reporter is
trying to scare you with heavy words. But mark my words - this is the time that may
change the game.
Let's come back to the point.
The aim of this post is to approach and help all sorts of students from extremely weak
to weak to average to good to outstanding. Even repeaters might find it useful.
This post has been designed to be rather in a Question answer format. A student (you)
will be asking questions from me and I'll be answering them.
Let's begin...
01.)Question : My board exams are over. What should I do to improve my JEE Main
Rank ?
Answer : JEE Main syllabus is exactly same as CBSE syllabus. So, the books that are
the best for JEE Main are also exactly same as the books prescribed for CBSE, that is NCERT Books. For JEE Main, NCERT is the god-book. Prepare NCERT thoroughly - both
class 11th and 12th. It should take around 1 week to complete NCERT if you have
prepared for your board exams well.
02.)Question : I haven't prepared exclusively for JEE Main. But I am going to appear
for it. What should I do ? I am an average student.
Answer : Since you haven't prepared exclusively for JEE Main, it might be expected
that you aren't thorough with class 11th syllabus. So, it is advisable that you should
start NCERT class 11th. You must rely solely on two things :
->NCERT Textbooks
->Past year AIEEE (now JEE Main) papers
Solve the problems given in NCERT and all the past year papers.
It is highly likely that you won't find yourself comfortable with past year papers
because you never prepared exclusively for the exam. In that case, I would suggest
you to look for solutions to the past year problems in the websites of various coaching
institutes (FIITJEE/Resonance for instance). Also, you can buy Arihant past year
papers (with solutions)
Solve them and you might end up getting NIT or any other good college.
03.)Question : I have prepared well for JEE Main and have taken a coaching for JEE
preparation in the past. What should I do to get the best out of this time ?
Answer : It's good that you utilized those past two important years. You are soon
going to get rewards for that. Revise - revise and revise. Solve a number of problems.

Ensure that you have solved all the past year problems carefully and understood well
the solution of each and every question.
In case you haven't solved the past year problems, I would suggest you a strategy.
Pick up a paper say every alternate day and start solving it from morning 9.00 to
12.00 afternoon. Sit on a table and chair and don't get up for those 3 hours. All this is
meant to give you an actual feel of the examination.
Ask you parent not to disturb you during these 3 hours.
After you are done with the paper, take a break of say 1 hour.
Then again sit back and check your score. Find out your mistakes :
Did you commit a number of silly mistakes ?
Did you misread the question ?
Did you go short of time ?
Were you not familiar with a particular concept/didn't know a particular idea ?
etc
etc
Such questions will help you to realize what's wrong with you and your strategy. You
should also try various sequences in which you are attempting the paper (PCM or PMC
or ...) and find out the one which suits you the best.
04.)Question : I have taken coaching in the past 2 years but I didn't focus much so I
am not confident of getting a good rank in JEE Main. What should I do ?
Answer : In that case you should read the following 3 questions :
I am weak in Maths. What should I do ? (Question 09)
I am weak in Physics. What should I do ? (Question 10)
I am weak in Chemistry. What should I do ? (Question 11)
05.)Question : I am confident of getting above 250 marks in JEE Main and I am
confident that I will clear JEE Advanced too. What should I do during this period ?
Answer : First of all, make absolutely sure that you are "confident" and not "overconfident". For checking this, take help from your teachers. Ask them that do you
have the potential of being an IITian ?
If the answer is "yes" then read on.
Since anyway your main aim is JEE Advanced, you are suggested not to waste time in
JEE Main topics like semiconductors, statistics, etc
Note that this will decrease your JEE Main score (I lost 20 marks in physics because I
didn't bother to prepare semiconductors) but since you don't care about it, it will
least affect you. Keep preparing for JEE Advanced. You don't need solving JEE Main
papers exclusively. You will find them damn easy. Focus on solving tough JEE Advanced
problems. Just don't take JEE Main as a big exam.
Note : You might interpret the above paragraph as - "ignore JEE Main completely".
"WRONG" !! That's not my point. My point is that don't take JEE Main preparation as a
burden. Since you are anyway preparing for JEE Advanced, JEE Main will be covered
side by side automatically - you don't need extra efforts for it.
Also note that don't forget to analyse JEE Main paper because this is going to be your
first official "big" exam.
For example, I misread plano-convex lens as bi-convex lens and made a silly mistake

in JEE Main. The same mistake was made by my friend in JEE Advanced (yes! the same
mistake).
I got it correct in JEE Advanced because I had noted that mistake.
"Finally I would like to say that if you have prepared well for board exams then
it won't be a problem for you because your JEE Main syllabus has already been
covered.
Also, a good score in JEE Main will please your teachers, parents and friends and
will also boost your confidence."
06.)Question : I am a repeater. I appeared for Board Exams last year. What should I
do ?
Answer : Since you don't have board exams, you have enough time (more than
others). Give your 100% this time. Study NCERT books thoroughly. Ensure that you
have solved "all" the past year papers. Don't leave even a single question.
Those who are appearing for the improvement exam, please refer Question 01 and
other related questions.
07.)Question : I am not from CBSE Board ? What should I do ?
Answer : Not a big problem. Although, you are recommended to purchase NCERT
textbooks and study them thoroughly.
08.)Question : I am done with NCERT. I have repeatedly revised it and I am confident
that I will not be stuck in a direct NCERT Question. What should I do ?
Answer : In that case move on to solving past year problems. If you have done that,
then get some good revision package meant exclusively for JEE Main and solve it
completely.
Choose whichever package you want. All are equally good.
09.)Question : I am weak in Maths. What should I do ?
Answer : Nothing much can be done about it. Ensure that you are solving a number of
questions from various topics. Maths is an art. It cannot be learnt in a couple of days.
You need patience and above that - a lot of practice to master it. Solve as many
questions as you can. Revision packages will help you. If nothing works, your last
resort is RD Sharma. It's the best book out there.
10.)Question : I am weak in Physics. What should I do ?
Answer : Something can be done. First try to cover NCERT fully. Read each chapter
carefully and cover at least all the theoretical points given in NCERT. Solve all the
problems of NCERT (including the additional problems). They are really good - some of
them are up to JEE Advanced level. When you are done with it, move on to solving
past year papers.
11.)Question : I am weak in Chemistry. What should I do ?
Answer : A lot can be done about it. Start mugging (cramming) each and every word
of NCERT chemistry. If you are successful in cramming NCERT completely, I can

guarantee you a good score in JEE Main. Also, it's extremely - extremely important to
solve "all" the past year problems. Don't leave any. In JEE Main, questions of chemistry
are frequently repeated. So, if you are lucky, you may be facing the same problem
again (whose solution/answer you already know).
12.)Question : What do you have to say about examination temperament /
examination pressure / fear ? What do you say about "D-day" ?
Answer : A lot is to be said about D-day. Ensure that you get up on time. I assume that
your parents will take care of that. Get ready. For this, ensure that you have kept
your Admit card, a water bottle, chewing gum (optional) and of course your pencil
box.
Take blessings from your parents. Tell them that you are going to give an exam and
you aren't going to fight a battle. Tell them that you are a student and not a soldier.
Tell them to keep their expectations low.
When you get to the centre, you will see a completely new scenario. There will be all
sorts of people. You might see some candidates studying right before the exam and
you might feel nervous. What I would say is - "ignore it". A true students never studies
at the last moment. He/She is always prepared to be tested. Last moment studies
can't help you.
Secondly you might end up meeting one of your friend. It might happen that you both
start discussing about the exam - "how tough it can be ?", "which subject you are weak
at ?" etc etc. I would suggest you to refrain from all this. This will simply make you
nervous. Your friend might tell you some wrong information and you might get scared
right before the exam. This might hamper your performance.
You might feel nervous. It's natural. Little bit of nervousness is really important to
avoid over-confidence. Almost all the aspirants will face this.
You may also feel too excited about the exam because you have prepared well. That's
wrong. Don't be too much excited.
Next comes the time to go inside the centre. Bell rings, paper begins.
You first step would be to get a quick glance of the paper and decide which section is
the easiest and which one is the toughest. Your plan would be to solve the easiest
section first and the toughest at the last.
In a particular subject also, you are to decide the easier and the tougher questions
and solve them in the sequence easiest --> toughest. "Don't" start solving tough
questions.
Note that if you are accustomed to solving a particular subject first, then go with it.
It's absolutely fine. But please ensure that if say you are used to solving Physics first
and by chance physics paper comes extremely tough, then you should be ready to
solve maths or chemistry first.
Don't get excited if the paper is too easy - you may accidentally misread a particular
question if you are too excited
Suppose you are stuck in a particular question - simply leave it and come back in the
end when you have solved other questions.
Carry chewing gums with you. They will help you to keep your mouth wet and avoid
thirst. This way, you won't need visiting toilets again and again.
Don't mess with invigilators if you find any question to be wrong. They can't do

anything about it.

Another important problem that many students face it that "should I tick the answer
about which I am not sure (even when there is negative marking) ?".
My answer is yes - there is no problem in guessing but don't resort to "blind guessing".
You might make intelligent guesses say by eliminating 3 options and get to the correct
answer. It might happen that dimensional analysis leads you to the correct answer (it
happens frequently in AIEEE).
Blind guessing is highly discouraged.
13.)Question : What should I ensure a day before JEE Main ? Can you provide a brief
check list ?
Answer : A lot is to be ensured. Most importantly, you are suggested to sleep not later
than 11 PM. You will have to get up early the next day.
Secondly, I would suggest you that you should "not" study the day before the exam.
You should relax your mind completely. Don't think about the exam.
Watch movies, hang out with friends, play computer games.
Don't play any sport (like cricket/football) because you might end up
exhausted/injured. You might break your spectacles (take special care of your
spectacles).
Have a light dinner and then set up your bag.
Keep your Admit card, Pencil box with at least 3 pens, water bottle, chewing gum,
medicines (if you need them), etc.
Before sleeping, ensure that all the mobiles are in silent mode. It might happen that
some of your relatives may call you late night just for wishing all the best.
Unknowingly, they might disturb your sleep (happened with me before JEE Advanced).
It may be possible that your sleep blows away. You are excited/nervous/scared and
you are not able to sleep. It's natural and nothing much can be done about it. All you
can do is to take help from your parents by telling them that you are not able to
sleep. This will surely help.
14.)Question : I have opted for online exam. Can you tell me something about it ?
How different is it going to be from the offline version ?
Answer : I really won't be able to help you much with this question. Try googling it or
posting a question on Quora.
15.)Question : What if I am stuck with a particular question during the exam ?
Answer : Leave that question. First make sure to guarantee your selection and then
try to build up your rank. By guaranteeing you selection, I mean that first solve all the
easy problems and make sure that you are well above the JEE Advanced cutoff. If you
are stuck in a particular question, then leave it. You don't have to be sentimental with
a particular question. If it's tough, leave it without giving it a further thought (It does
not mean that you leave everything). Come back to it in the end if you get time. But
remember that such questions will be the rank deciding questions. These are the
questions that will differentiate you from the common junta. These questions will
build your score.

16.)Question : What if they suddenly change the pattern of exam ?

Answer : Please don't expect the paper to be of the same pattern as that of last year.
I made this mistake and this is the reason my rank slipped a little bit in JEE Advanced.
Frame your mind to accept a new pattern. Also, keep in mind that it is a change not
only for you but for everyone. So, most of your competitors will be bearing the same
pressure as you if the paper pattern changes.
17.)Question : What if the invigilators are terrible ?
Answer : You can't help it in any way. You will have to bear it. In my case the
invigilators were 2 ladies and throughout the paper, they gossiped about their daily
routines. I was fed up but I couldn't do anything. Remember, don't mess with the
invigilators at any cost.
18.)Question : What if I make bubbling errors ?
Answer : Since you are going to use pen to bubble the correct option, you really can't
do anything about it. If at some point you realize that you did make some bubbling
mistake, stay calm. You can't correct it. Using ink eraser might rather render your
OMR unreadable by the scanner. So better not try it. Just make sure to bubble the
remaining part correctly and with full caution.
19.)Question : Negative thoughts keep coming to my mind. What should I do ?
Answer : It's completely natural. You might well imagine that "what if Physics paper is
tough ?" , "What if I am not able to solve maths questions ?". This little bit of
nervousness is important. You should be confident but not over-confident. Almost all
the students will face negative thoughts some or the other day. It's not only you.
You can't really help it if paper is tough. If it is tough for you, it will be tough for
everyone including the guy who will top the exam. The thing that matters is how you
are performingrelative to others.
20.)Question : What if the exam does not go well ?
Answer : Well let it be. It's over. There are thousands of people whose exam didn't go
well. You can't score 360/360. If you are confident enough that you will be in the top
1.5 lakh then keep calm. You have probably qualified for JEE Advanced. Your aim now
must be to figure out why did the paper go wrong ? What kind of mistakes did you
make ? Can those mistakes be rectified in future exams ? Did you go short of time ? or
did you commit a lot of silly mistakes ? Did you interpret the question wrongly ? or did
you use the wrong concept. Such questions will help you find the flaws in yourself and
your examination strategy. Try to rectify them and ensure that the same mistakes are
not repeated in JEE Advanced. I remember making a silly mistake in physics in JEE
Main and my friend did it correctly. In JEE Advanced, the reverse happened. Because I
made a mistake in JEE Main, I learnt from it and hence I did not repeat it.
There may be another case - you are pretty sure that you won't qualify for JEE
Advanced. In that case, your hands are tied. You cannot do anything except waiting
for the results. If after normalization, you rank comes out to be good enough, then
congrats. If your JEE Main rank is not good enough, then probably you should wait for
counselling. You will have further options to join BITS or other colleges. Or you may

choose to repeat the next year if you are willing to work hard next year.
To conclude the looooong post, I would say that all kinds of suggestions and comments
are welcome.

Preparation for board exams can be described in just 1 complete line - "Mug each and
every word of NCERT".
That's it , you are done.
Complete NCERT thoroughly. Also , if your JEE preparation is strong enough then you
PCM(Physics , Chemistry and Maths) portion is already covered. What you need is a
look though NCERT so that you can write the definitions / proofs / derivations in the
paper.
Since they have added new "value based questions" , you should be prepared for it.
Best source is "Google".
For English , you need to start atleast a couple of months before the exams to avoid
last minute pressure.
For Physical Education , you hardly need 2 days. I would suggest memorizing the
headings and then explaining it in your own words.
Sorry for no words on computer science (I didn't opt for it).
Just don't take board exams as an extra burden. They are not!.
Infact , take it as an opportunity to judge yourself that how familiar you are with
NCERT.
In another of my post , I have already described the importance of NCERT textbooks.
Keep in mind that Board exams don't matter much as far as engineering is concerned.
But there is a cutoff percentage that you need to clear to take admission into the
IIT's.
