not need to practice the entire question as far as you remember what the trick was.

Always solve questions down to their nal answer. Many silly mistakes occur in exam
because students though well-versed in concepts and very good in identifying the
trick involved do not care enough about the mundane calculation part. So, no matter
how boring the question solve it to the last line, even though you have solved the
purpose of the question by identifying the right concept and trick

Note: All the above is applicable only after you have understood the theory involved.
Without clarity of concept you are severely restricted in your chances with surprise
tricky questions (always there in JEE) and also developing skills to solve existing
ones.

Candidates appearing for JEE must improve their problem solving speed to complete
the paper on time and earn good scores. To improve the speed of solving questions in
JEE Main 2017, candidates must take up mock tests regularly before the nal exam.
Try to give as many sample tests as you can and track your average problem-solving
speed. Try various all India test series to know where you stand.

As per our expert JEE counsellors at Kshitij Education India, many candidates lose
about 12 -14% of their marks as their concepts are not clear. IITJEE is a scientically
designed exam which not only checks your analytical and intellectual abilities but
also requires ability to perform in adverse conditions (e.g. not loosing nerves even if
you have been able to solve just 1 out of the last 10 questions), pressure handling
(solving two more questions in last ve minutes), choice making (which questions to
do and which to leave) and a lot of other factors. Hence, our JEE experts always
recommend clearing basic concepts in the rst place for advanced problem solving in
the exam. Keeping in mind the diculty level and stipulated time during the exam,
candidates should develop the ability to solve the questions quickly with utmost

accuracy. Students must also interact with fellow candidates (who are also appearing
for the same exam) to compare their performance with them.

Here we will focus on how to improve you approach to IIT-JEE:

Your goal should always be to increase the number of marks not the number of
attempts. Since you have only 3 hours and 3 subjects, you cant spend all your time
only on one subject. Always keep an eye on your watch. Allot 45 minutes to each
subject i.e. you must have at least read all the questions of that subject, done those in
which you were condent and marked those which you think you will do later.
Remember to take care of cut-o of each subject. This way you will easily complete
your paper in 2 hours and 15 minutes. Now, for the remaining time try to solve the
marked questions to increase your marks. Dont stick to any question for long time.

Best technique for revising through a chapter is to quickly go through its theory , look
at few examples and then switch to objective questions. Let us take an example of
thermodynamics from H.C. Vermas book and suppose it has 60 object questions.
Since you might have done this chapter earlier as well so keep a timer of 60 minutes
(i.e. one minute per question) and start solving. Do not take any break during this
course of time. At the end check your score and analyse your performance as to what
mistakes you made and what steps you need to avoid them in future. This will surely
improve your examination temperament.
