According to me each and every subject should have different strategy . So I would be discussing the short tricks of solving problems in JEE.Be Calm:Candidates should make sure they are stress free and calm before writing IIT JEE test. Since, due to tension you may lose concentration and might mark a wrong answer. Understand the question Identify the important part of the question and apply your logic. Understand what the question is before marking the answer. Tick the answer only when you are sure. Choosing correct answer is really important, since every wrong answer might result in deduction of marks (due to negative marking in the exam).Example: From a tower of height H, a particle is thrown vertically upwards with a speed u, then the time taken by the particle to hit the ground, is ‘n’ times taken by it to reach the highest point of its path. (IIT-JEE Mains 2014)(a) 2gH=n^2u^2(b) gH = (n-2)^2u^2(c) 2gH =nu^2(n-2)(d) gH = (n-2)u^2Immediately, identity the topic and apply concept related to it (Projectile motion in this case). Make the diagrams for better understanding to make sure you land up to the right answer choice.Check the Dimensions :This technique is very handy in Physics paper, where we can filter options by looking at their dimension. Let’s say, we are to find the speed, then we can safely filter out options whose dimension does not equals m/sec. Believe me, it will save a lot of your time.Example: A highly rigid cubical block A of small mass M and side L is fixed rigidly onto another cubical block B of the same dimensions and of low modulus of rigidity ɳ such that the lower face of A completely covers the upper face of B. The lower face of B is rigidly held on a horizontal surface. A small force F is applied perpendicular to one of the side faces of A. After the force is withdrawn, block A executes a small oscillation. The time period of oscillation is: (IIT JEE 1992)(a)2π MɳL (b) 2π Mɳ/L(c) 2π ML/ɳ (d) 2π M/ɳLSol: Dimensional formula of ɳ = [MLT^-2]/ [L] [L] = [ML^-1 T^-2]Now check for the dimension of Time period in each option. Let us take the first option. The final dimensional formula of that answer comes to be [MT^-1].Option (b) comes out to be [ML^-1 T^-1]Option (c) comes out to be [LT]Now check option (d). It’s [M]/ [ɳ] [L]= [M]/ [ML^-1 T^-2] [L] = [T]Don’t be in hurry during JEE :Giving the right answer is very crucial in IIT JEE therefore mark the answer carefully. Don’t guess the answer too soon! Take some time to think and make necessary calculations. Stop and read the question and options carefully.Method of Assumption :This is another important method. In some of the questions, some unknown quantities will be given. Here, we assign some values to these quantities without changing the conditions given. This is almost similar to the method of substitution.Example: If a(n) denotes the nth term in an Arithmetic Progression. Then1/a(1)a(2) +1/a(2)a(3) +………………………………+1/a(n-1)a(n)=(a) n-1/a (1) a (n) (b) n/a(1)a(n+1)(c)n-2/a(1)a(n-1) (d) n/a(1)a(n)Sol: Take a simple AP=1, 2, 3, 4…..let us take n=3.Therefore our questions comes to be:1/1*2 +1/2*3 =4/6 =2/3= n-1/a(1)a(n).Hence the correct option is (a).Choose technically correct option and Generalize Questions: It is often seen that people tend to ignore options like ‘all of the above’ and ‘none of the above’ thinking such options are never correct. In reality, these options tend to be right more often. Also, don’t jump into any option abruptly.Questions like ax+by+cz= k, can we solved by using general values like a=1, b=1, c=1 to see if it solves our purpose.Do a little guess work :Even though guess work is not always the best practice, it might work at times. If you are not sure of an answer, make a guess! Delete some options which you think are in correct and try to relate the leftovers with the questions to check what answer you get. Remember, guess work is not always beneficial. So try to avoid it!Example: When a rubber-band is stretched by a distance x, it exerts a restoring force of magnitude F = ax + bx^2, where a and b are constants. The work done in stretching the unstretched rubber-band by L is:(a) aL^2 + bL^3(b) (aL^2 + bL^3) / 2(c) aL^2 / 2 + bL^3 / 3(d) aL^2 / 4 + bL^3 / 6As we can observe from the question that a and b are with different powers of x and hence there the answer is most unlikely to have same coefficients. Hence options a and b can be eliminated and even with a little amount of knowledge, we can chose among c and d.Don’t change your answer Avoid changing your answers frequently. Generally, first answer is always correct. Regularly changing the answer might prove wrong at the end. This also leads to confusion. Therefore, stick to one answer regularly.Reverse engineering Reverse engineering, taking step backward. Instead of solving complete equation, we just apply value in the equation to see if it solves it.Example: The straight line (2+α)X + (1+ α)Y=5+ α , for different values of α passes through the fixed point(a) (2,9) (b) (2, -9)(c ) (-2,-9) (d ) (-2, -9)Move on Despite of so many attempts, if you are not getting the right answer, switch to the next question. Sticking to just one question will waste your time. Solve other questions and return to this one once you have done all the rest. You can spend the remaining few minutes in solving this question. Later on once you have done filtering, dimension check, you can apply law of probability (as per option 1) and choose one option. Remember, probability is now on your side.Discard highest and lowest outliers Outliers mean choices having extreme values. If your test paper has any question which have answers in numerical values, discard the extremes. In 60% cases, the highest and lowest values are not right. So, be very careful while choosing the answer. They have high probability of being wrong. So candidates can safely stay away from this unfamiliar zone.Example: Let A, B, C be three sets of complex number as defined belowA = {z: Imz ≥ 1} , B={z:|z – 2 – i| = 3} , C = {z: Re ((I – j) z) = }. The number of element in the set A ∩ B ∩ C is(a) 0 (b) 1(c) 2 (d) ∞Here the answer is 1. This is not generalized rule but again applicable at many places.Choose one among the two options If you have already checked out two incorrect answers, choose one out of the remaining options. You can use the first point to select the correct answer.Attempt the ‘no-negative marking’ questions At times, there are questions like ‘match the following’ in the IIT JEE test. These questions don’t carry negative marking therefore you are free to take chance. You should never leave such questions un-attempted. You should read and know the marking scheme correctly to attempt every question and earn marks. Usually exams marking pattern is +4 for each correct answers and -1 for each negative. And, assuming all options have an equal probability of being correct, student can at the leave have a minimum score of 0.25*n out of n questions (0.25 n *4 – 0.75n*1) by choosing only 1 option. In case, there is no negative marking, you can score 1*n. Hence, never leave any question unanswered if there is no negative marking.If we go via topics, we can summarize the following:Memorize easiest topics to get good marks1) Algebra can be made easier if you have the ability to picture functions as graphs and are good at applying vertical and horizontal origin shifts carefully as zeroes of functions and other specific values can be done in much less time using these techniques.2) Differential calculus again relates well to roots of equations, especially if you use the Rolle’s and Lagrange’s theorems.3) Complex numbers is very important chapter for JEE. It can be used to solve questions in co-ordinate geometry too. Trigonometric questions require applications of De Moivre’s theorem. Every year, two to three problems (of purely complex number) are asked. Hence mastering complex numbers, vectors, 3-D and Definite integral must be on top priority.4) Permutation-Combination and Probability is another very important topic in algebra. You need to be thorough with the basics of Bayes’ theorem, derangements and various ways of distribution, taking care of cases where objects are identical and when they are not.5) Matrices can be related to equations, hence a 3×3 matrix can actually be visualised as being three-planed in 3D geometry. Determinants have some very nice properties, for instance, the ability to break them into two using a common summand from a row/ column, which should be made use of in tougher questions.6) Integral calculus can be simplified using tricks and keeping in mind some basic varieties of integrable functions. Remembering the properties and applying them wisely saves lot of time.7) Coordinate geometry requires a good working knowledge of the parametric forms of various conic sections and an ability to convert the other, tougher ones to these basic forms and then interpret the solutions accordingly.Finally the only one way to do well in Mathematics is to practice problems keeping in mind the pattern of questions in the previous years’ JEE papers. Conceptual clarity, application skills and awareness to the prescribed syllabus should be the main focus. Practice the most relevant numerical daily to develop speed. Pay special attention to the topics like Mole concept, Chemical Equilibrium and Electrochemistry.8) Take a careful and patient approach for Organic Chemistry giving particular attention to the topics like Stereochemistry, GOC (General Organic Chemistry) and Functional Group Analysis.9) In Inorganic chemistry, most of the questions which are asked are really conceptual, concerned with structures, processes and applications and are very direct.10) Special attention is a must for the topics like Chemical Bonding and Coordination Chemistry.11) Mechanics is one topic in Physics that is considered less scoring by most experts. However to add to the dilemma, this is also the topic that forms the major portion of the JEE (Advanced) in terms of marks. So this topic cannot be neglected.12) Modern Physics with its atoms, nuclei and radiations are some of the topics, which cannot be ignored during IIT JEE Test. In fact, these topics will help you earn about 20-25 marks in the exam. Also, it requires not more than a couple of days to understand this topic. So, memorize easiest topics to score well in the test.13) Kinematics and Particle dynamics are very important topics of Mechanics that make regular appearance in the JEE papers.14) Thermodynamics is important from the terms of both Physics and Chemistry so concentrate on that as well.15) One must also try to concentrate on other scoring topics to ensure a better performance, for example Optics, Electricity and Magnetism, etc.Note: It is wise to cover Wave Optics first in ‘Optics’ topic. The reason is that the portion is smaller compared to Ray Optics and thus, quick to cover.OTHER KEY GENERAL POINTSStay focused and maintain a positive attitude.Develop speed. Refer to reputed mock-test series to build a winning exam temperament. Solve the past year’s IIT-JEE papers. Focus on your weak areas and improve upon your concepts.Practice of JEE level questions is necessary as it improves your reasoning and analytical ability.Remember it is quality of time spent and not the quantity alone that matters. Take short breaks of five to 10 minutes every one to two hours of serious study. It is important to relax. Practice meditation to develop inner calm, poise, confidence and power of concentration.Don’t overstress yourself. Five to six hours of sleep every night is a must, especially three to four days before the main exam to keep you physically and mentally fit. While short naps may help to regain freshness, avoid over-sleeping during the day.If you find the paper tough, don’t be nervous. It is the relative performance that counts. So put your best analytical mind to work, and believe in your preparation.HOPE THIS MAY HELP…..BEST OF LUCK!!!!!

The Joint Entrance Examination (JEE), formerly the India Institute of Technology Joint Entrance Examination (IIT-JEE) is a standardized test used for admission to engineering programs in India. The JEE, which replaced the IIT-JEE in 2013, is comprised of multiple-choice questions that test the applicant's knowledge in several engineering-related fields. The JEE is offered at two levels: JEE Main and JEE Advanced, the latter being required for certain selective programs. Like with any serious academic test, thorough preparation is key to earn a good score on the JEE.Part One of Three:(a)Knowing the Exam:1.Understand the structure of the Main exam: The JEE Main lasts three hours and consists of 90 multiple-choice questions. The exam consists of three sections: Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. Each section contains 30 questions. All sections are weighed equally.For each question answered correctly, four points are awarded. For each incorrect answer, one point is deducted. No points are awarded or deducted for unanswered questions.2.Understand the structure of the Advanced exam: The JEE Advanced is structured differently than the main exam. The advanced exam covers the same three topics: Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. However, unlike the main exam, the advanced exam is divided into two three-hour long papers, each divided into three sections (one for each topic). The papers are organized as follows: Paper One: Each section contains 10 multiple choice questions with one correct answer, five multiple choice questions with one or more correct answers, and five questions that require the test taker to provide a single-digit answer.Paper Two: Each section contains eight multiple choice questions with one correct answer, eight questions that require responding to a reading passage, and several "matching list"-type questions.3.Know the topics covered by each test:Though both the JEE Main and JEE Advanced cover the same three subjects (physics, chemistry, and mathematics), the precise topics covered and the difficulty of the individual questions will vary between the two topics. To gain a sense for the topics you may be expected to know for each test, consult the official test syllabi for the Main and Advanced exams, both of which are available in free PDF form from official test resources online. Below are just a few examples of the topics you may encounter on the test — these lists are by no means complete or definitive:Physics: Kinematics, laws of motion, gravity, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, optics, electronic devices.Chemistry: States of matter, atomic structure, redox reactions, chemical kinetics, environmental chemistry, periodic groups, basic organic chemistry principles.Mathematics: Quadratic equations, mathematical induction, sequences and series, matrices, integral calculus, differential equations, coordinate geometry.Part Two of Three:(b) Using Study Aids:Use official mock tests: The simplest, most effective way to prepare for the JEE is simply to do the test itself. Mock tests are available for free from the official JEE website. These tests mirror the actual JEE in terms of structure, format, and content and can be accessed entirely through your computer — no physical testing materials are required. Completing mock tests gives you the valuable experience of working through the JEE (and, in the process, finding your strengths and weaknesses) in advance of the actual exam.Note that while mock tests mimic computer-based versions of the JEE almost perfectly, paper-based versions of the JEE will require you to record your answers by hand on an official answer sheet — for obvious reasons, online mock tests can't replicate this part of the testing experience.Use question papers from past exams: Another important resource for applicants looking to pass the JEE are the question papers from past tests (freely available on the official JEE website). Unlike the mock tests, which have questions specifically made for them, JEE question papers contain the exact questions included on past exams, making them a very valuable resource.Because the JEE is relatively new (the exam replaced the old IIT-JEE in 2013), only question papers from 2014 are available. However, since the test is offered multiple times per year, as of late 2014, eight papers have been published, offering plenty of practice material. In addition, question papers for the old IIT-JEE (also available online) will cover most of the same topics.Consult the official JEE FAQ for general questions: This article covers most of what a JEE aspirant will need to prepare for the exam, but it's not intended to be a substitute for official JEE test resources. If you're ever unsure about some aspect of the JEE (like, for instance, how to apply, what the eligibility requirements are for public students, and so on), try consulting the JEE FAQ. The FAQ can provide you with the answers to frequently asked questions about the JEE, thus ensuring that you don't have to waste any valuable study time finding the answers elsewhere.Keep up-to-date with official bulletins: Over time, the JEE can (and has) changed. Tests may be rescheduled, results may be re-interpreted, and the topics covered may change. To ensure that you have the absolute best chance of doing well on the JEE, stay up to speed with official JEE bulletins, which are published as they are released on the official JEE website.Part Three of Three:(c) Using Your Study Time Wisely:Start as early as possible: When it comes to preparing for the JEE, the earlier you start, the better. Studying for the JEE is a serious undertaking, especially if you plan on taking the JEE Advanced. It's also one that can have a significant impact on your professional future — a great score on the JEE can make it much easier to get into the engineering program of your choosing. For these reasons, some people choose to start studying years before they'll need to actually take the JEE. Though this probably isn't necessary if you've been attentive to your studies, for the best score, you will probably want to begin as early as practical — at least a few months before your test date.Spend the most time studying your weakest topics: As you study for the JEE, you'll want to devote some time to every topic, even if you're already confident that you know some of them very well. However, to get the best score possible, you'll want to devote the majority of your time to the topics that you're not confident in. Doing this ensures you get the biggest improvement possible from your studying effort.If you're not sure how to allocate your time, try reviewing your grades from school — spend your most time studying the subjects that you get the poorest marks in.Eliminate your personal distractions as you study: In the months before the JEE, you want to make the most of your time — you don't want to waste an hour (or more) fooling around for every hour you spend studying. To avoid distractions like TV, video games, and other forms of digital entertainment, remove them from your life temporarily. For instance, if you're having a hard time giving up your video games, you may want to try leaving your game system at a friend's house until the test is over.Try to use the internet only for study purposes. Don't waste your study time on games or social networking until the exams are over. If you can't seem to overcome these online distractions, try downloading and installing a productivity app (most browsers will have these available for free in the browser store).Time yourself as you take practice tests: When you practice individual problems in preparation for the JEE, a good rule of thumb is to take as long as you need to fully understand the problem and answer it correctly. However, when you take entire JEE practice tests, it's a smart idea to give yourself the same 180-minute time limit you would normally have to finish the test. Doing prepares you to account for the time limit when it will actually matter.You don't necessarily need to be able to complete the entire test within the time limit the first time you try to do so, but you should work to increase your speed so that you're able to finish the whole test in 180 minutes (with as few questions skipped as possible) by the date of the test.Take care of your physical needs on test day: Past a certain point, additional studying prior to the JEE can actually be harmful. If you have to give up eating or sleeping properly in the days prior to the JEE to squeeze in last-minute studying, you're probably hurting your chances of getting the best grade that you can. Neglecting these basic physical functions can leave you drowsy and distracted on the day of the exam, making it tricky or even impossible to do your best. Take the time to relax, eat normally, and get plenty of sleep in the days before your test — if you've been studying all along, it's almost certainly the smartest thing to do.ALWAYS REMEMBER ONE THING IN LIFE:If you got satisfied with my answer…Then UPVOTE it and Follow me definitely!!!Thank you.
