Amid the COVID pandemic, the Nation is
under lockdown, which has been extended till 3rd May. The second session of JEE
Main (April Session) which were scheduled to be conducted from 5th April to
11th April 2020 has been postponed until further notice. Aspirants have an
extended preparation time available, which can be put to effective utilisation.
Students must stay positive and need to focus on revision and analysing their
weaknesses.
As per the previous schedule, most of the
aspirants must have gone through the complete syllabus and must be in revision
mode now. While the whole Nation is under lockdown, and social distancing seems
to be the only effective control method right now, there is an urgent need to
deal positively with this crisis. The need of the hour is to utilize the extra
time productively and effectively with plan in place to make the best of it.
1) Make a viable schedule -
this phase should be effectively utilised for quick run through short notes and
formulae and concepts at a glance of all chapters of the three subjects in a phased
planned manner with equal time to each subject. The idea is to strengthen the
concepts and their application by solving mock tests and past yea.rs papers.
Learning as against mugging is the rule of the game.
2) Consult Online Classes -
Online platforms are available that provide a virtual classroom ambience with
complete notes, expert opinions, online classes, mock tests, etc. for best
student preparation. One such portal is myPAT, powered by FIITJEE that allows
them to learn by staying in the safety and security of their homes and ensure
better learning outcomes, save time and increase the effective utilisation of
time.
3) Follow Three Tier Revision -
The stage has arrived where revision is the most important aspect of the
preparation process and the best way to tackle the challenge is to have a
well-structured and organized revision strategy. Three Tier Revision method
suggests that students should first revise the topic on the same day, then
after 3 days and then revise the same topic at the end of the week. This way,
you will be able to get strong hold on topics and subjects which stay in your
memory for longer period. If you revise a topic the same day when you study it,
you find it easy to revise and grab; while on the other hand if you revise that
topics after few days of studying it, it becomes difficult to understand and
revise and consume more time.
“Study and application of Important
Formulae: It is important to peruse and conceptually apply formulae in JEE
Mains type questions even at the time of revision. This will help you in
solving the questions within a short time in the exam. As most of the questions
in Physics/ Mathematics will be based on conceptual application of formulae.
4) Take regular Mock tests-
Mock tests play an important role in making familiar with strong and weak
areas. To test and analyse your preparation, students are advised to take mock
tests.
5) Stay motivated & Take regular
breaks to relax - Do not sit for long hours at a stretch,
but instead take small and frequent breaks at least after one to one and half
hour(s) of focussed revision. These intervals are essential for the brain to
assimilate, retrieve information and revive the energy, making you ready for
the next sessions. There may be many distractions and thoughts running
concurrently. Maintain calm and stay focussed with determination.
After analysing the mistakes, doubts,
wrong attempts and weak areas from the round 1 of JEE Main, aspirants need to
work on those areas more and more, without wasting time. This time should
generally be made use of in consolidating one’s preparation, focusing on
problem solving and overcoming the weaker areas in preparation. This extra time
must be wisely utilised to perfect the ability to solve problems with a deep
perception of concept involved, improving the time needed to solve the given problem,
identifying the weak spots and correcting them. By taking regular mock tests
and solving of past papers
Speed and accuracy must be increased.
Right Strategy and Time Management play a
vital role in deciding the rank for an aspirant. The remaining weeks should be
wisely used for revision, increasing speed and accuracy to solve problems,
Finally, it is the relative performance
that will matter on the exam day. So, put in your best performance and you will
ace JEE Main 2020.
