I am in the habit of telling my students that the only certain aspect of the examination is its uncertainty. The entire philosophy of the JEE paper is, let the student face a situation he has never been through before. They ask the kind of questions that’s not often asked, and they might increase the duration of the examination or reduce it. How effectively a student handles these aspects will determine the final outcome. This is one aspect you must bear in mind even as you decide to prepare for the exam. The right strategy would then be to gain a deep understanding of the subjects. The fundamentals should be clear. Try to convert the information into knowledge. In doing so you would have to go beyond working out the formulae and concepts an definitions and get to three level, such as:
- What happens when a particular law is applied.
- How to handle a situation where-in four laws are put together.
- How to convert numerical or applied case into theory.
You would have to ask what you learnt while solving the problems. You will be amazed to find that there might be 10,000 problems, but all of them boil down to 10 or 11 key solutions. Make every problem an educational experience.
By strategy, if you mean joining a coaching institute, yes definitely, it helps to learn from a person who has live with the subjects for 10 years. But just keep in mind that the questions themselves might not come in the examination.
