What to study?
First of all, I suggest you to go through last 4-5 years question paper & see the pattern.
JEE ADV pattern is quite different from JEE MAINS. In Mains, they ask almost 1-2 ques from each topic. But in case of Adv, they ask quite a lot of question from "some special topics" & almost zero from others.
So, What is the smart approach now ??
Yes, you guess it correct, prepare first for these topics and this is more than sufficient for Adv .
Yes, you read it correct. Believe me, if you get 50-60% marks, you may be my junior in IIT KGP [ however I won't take ragging XD] .
So, How to revise them effectively ??
For each topic, first of all, go through your notes quickly, theory must be clear to you for Adv. Next solve few standard question which you have solved earlier & revise how a particular approach works. Next solve few good Previous Year questions of that topic. Finally, solve few "fresh" question of that topic. If you don't have set of any "fresh" question, then check out my blog, you will find lot of nice Adv level questions for free :-)
But, What are those important topics??
Physics:
1. Thermodynamics*
2. Sound Waves [specially organ pipes & doppler effect]*
3. Modern Physics*
4. Geometrical Optics
5. Error Analysis & Unit and Dimensions & Exp Physics*
6. Rotation
Chemistry :
1. Thermodynamics
2. Electrochemistry
3. Chemical Kinetics*
4. Chemical Bonding*
5. Coordination Compounds*
6. Salt Analysis [ optional ]
7. Aldehyde & ketones
8. Aromatic chemistry*
Mathematics :
1. Matrices*
2. Probability
3. Vectors & 3D*
4. Complex numbers
5. Definite Integrals
6. Application of derivatives
7. Conic Sections
NOTE : If you are an average student or you haven't prepared well yet, then I recommend you to first go through starred topics. They are relatively easy & a lot of questions are asked from them.
Okay, is it sufficient to just revise these topics ??
NO, I suggest you to solve a "mock-test" of any reputed coaching institute once in 2-3 days & make sure to properly analyze it.
I used to follow the same strategy for JEE ADV except that I used to solve paper in two rounds in JEE Adv rather than three ( as in Mains).
Some general tips :
- Don’t be too much nervous . It is just an exam & nothing beyond it… Be light & calm.
- JEE is more of a "mental" test rather than PCM. Lot of people give up during their two years of preparation but you are the one who has successfully defeated the "real" terror till now! So, just bear it for few more days :-)
- Be careful to take admit card & all other necessary stuff with u. Don’t be careless at this point.
- Be sure to take a good sleep of atleast 7 hours before ur exams. Try to have proper breakfast before ur exam & lunch between paper 1 & paper 2. But don’t overeat — as u might sleep in exam!!
- Try to minimise ur study one day before exams. Just revise formulas or solve few questions & try to be as calm & cool as possible.
- Do not discuss any academic thing between Paper 1 & Paper 2 with your friends as well as your parents.
Finally give your BEST !
Have trust in GOD & trust in yourself !!
Everything will be fine !!!
