The JEE (Joint Entrance Exam) is a dream examination for every engineering aspirant. Scoring excellent marks in it will give opportunities in engineering colleges. There are two stages of the examination: JEE Mains and JEE Advanced. In JEE Mains, there are 90 questions, and the syllabus includes Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics of class 11th and class 12th. Remember that clearing these three modules is essential to go through an advanced stage of examination. So, students must not ignore the importance of the Physics module. One can easily score excellent marks in Physics of JEE Mains. Follow these tips effectively to counter difficult Physics queries.
Tips for scoring higher in Physics of JEE Mains
Understand the syllabus
Knowing the syllabus is the most vital part before cracking any examination. Thus, before starting the physics preparations, students must get well-versed with essential subtopics of Physics. Also, knowing the syllabus pattern is essential before preparation. JEE aspirants can refer to online notifications and daily updates to know the same.
Optics is the favourite chapter of boards and the NTA (National Testing Agency). The respective examination body conducts JEE Mains and JEE Advanced papers. In board examinations also, more questions come from the Optics module, and in JEE Mains also 10% of questions belong to the same topic. Hence, jot down such essential topics and get an easy way to score more.
Start preparation for important topics.
As mentioned above, there are certain essential topics like Optics, thermodynamics, and electrostatic, which carry more weightage in the examination. Hence, JEE aspirants must start their preparation with these essential topics. More weightage of questions means more chances of scoring in these topics. For better reference, aspirants can refer to the previous year’s question papers.
Undoubtedly, analyzing previous year’s question papers is important. By doing so, aspirants will get to know a number of questions from respective topics. After prioritizing modules, they must begin with preparation, and once these essential topics are completed, they should focus on low weightage topics too. Remember that every mark carries value in getting good scores.
Make notes of every chapter
Note-making is an essential part of effective preparation. It is the parameter to understand how much students understood. No one will ask simple questions in the examination. Neither same question will repeat, nor will the complex level vary. There should be no ego or overconfidence behaviour while preparing for Physics.
Certain concepts like Interference, which is related to the light energy concept, goes beyond the candidates’ head. Hence, it requires visualization and rigorous practice. Therefore, several academic experts suggest note-making. However, when aspirants are running short of time and do not know how to make notes, they can download it online or refer to school notes.
Focus on numerical problems
Mostly, the paper will consist of numerical questions. So, do not waste time mugging up definitions. Instead, memorize important derivations and formulas, which will save time in solving complicated questions. Do not get demotivated with initial failures. In the beginning, you may not come to the correct solution. But, losing hope is not the solution.
Practice daily and try to group study to fill learning gaps. However, in this pandemic time, it might be difficult to do a group study. Thus, join online groups or digital learning platforms and continue the virtual group studying. Sharing valuable insights and ideas on particular problems will give solutions quickly.
The bottom line
Physics is easy and fun to learn. It is all about basic understanding and a proper blueprint to study. So, in your upcoming JEE Mains, follow these tips to score more in the Physics subject
