Online or offline

Many students get confused about whether to give online or offline exam. There are many advantages and disadvantages of both the exams. I'll tell you about both then you can decide for ypurself.

Online exams
Pros
1. You can concentrate on your own work without caring about whats going on others computers.
2. You can answer faster as you don't have to bubble answers which saves tons of time
3. You have to pay less fee than those who gave offline exam
4. You have one more week of preparation time than students giving exam offline

Cons
1. If the system crashes you are in big trouble (which happens quite a lot)
2. The question paper will contain less mistakes so you won't be getting grace marks
3. You cannot cheat.
4. If you don't know how to operate computers you have to adjust which is hard

Offline mode
Pros
1. If you are old school (like me) you can give offline exams.
2. Offline exams give you one week more time to prepare for the main one "jee advance" and other competitive exams like vit exam
3. No system crashes, you have full 180 minutes and no one can take that from you
4. You can cheat if you are good at it.
5. For jee mains you have two choices but for advance you have to give in offline mode only. So, better be prepared for the jee advance but if you have to clear only mains and get good NITs then go for online.

Cons
1. You will be placed in tier 2/3 schools with not good facilities which may ruin your mood and which reflects on your paper(happend to me when I gave Jee Mains first timw in 2015) but that is not the case always
2. If you are brillient student there there will be someone who tries to see your answers and that bugs people.
3. Higher examination fee.
4. Bubble filling takes time which is not good.

I hope you understand that there is no best method for the exams you have to chose what is best for you.
Happy learning. Ciao

Books confusion

Most people get confused with with books to use in their IIT-JEE preparations and they go with too many books which does not only mess their studying time and thet get fruatrated.

I suggest you to do the following:-

- read ncert throughly

- take one refresher (only one) and read it with ncert to build good concepts.
It can either be Comprehensive,S.L Arora, Pradeep etc. Choose one among them and stick with them. Don't care what others are refering as they are not going to write your exams.I don't prefer HC Verma as refresher.

- After going through the refresher and ncert take one book containing problems and solve them. I would recommend HCV and DC pandey for that. Arihant publications problems books are good for JEE. DON'T read theory from them just do the problems and see the solutions if you don't get it. Study according to the timetable from problem books. (Read my second article on how to make timetable for Jee)

At last I should list out the books:-

● Mathematics- NCERT, Arihant.
(For refesher you can take Mathematics in 99 days or RD Sharma Mathematics)

● Physics- NCERT, ARIHANT BOOKS, HCV, DC Pandey
(Refresher- SL Arora, Comprehensive or Pradeep)

● Chemistry- NCERT and OP Tandon books. Arihant for problems

Also if you are not good moneywise go to the local book market and purchase books with barganing but take only Ncert books and refreahers. You can take them as secondhand books also.  For problem books only purchase latest edition as the pattern keeps changing year after year.

I hope that I have helped you. Ask your doubts in comments if you have. Happy learning. Ciao ;)

Time table headache

Students once feel that they need to start preparing for Iit-jee but in the middle get lost. They get easily distracted and its not totally their fault but they need to understand the big picture and that will help to avoid distractions.

Many students just aren't able to decide their timetable and this causes their loss in intrest. I will tell you the techniques to do better with time you have.

Assuming you are in 11th or 12th and you go to school regularly for 6-7 hours approx.

You should
→ first do questions from question bank for 2 hours. It doesnt matter if you dont know the answer just try to solve.

If you are able to solve it then mark it easy
 
If you can solve it by watching the answer then mark it as medium

If you are not able to solve it even after seeing the answer mark difficult/hard.

Try to do 30 questions atleast

Then take break for 1/2 hr

→ Then for the medium and difficult questions, read their chapter as if you know nothing about it for 1 hour

Take break of 1/2 hour

→ After the break try to solve the same problems which you were not able to do in step 1. Time it down to 1.5-2 min per question.

This way you will have 4 hour of studies after school which will give you enough time for tution / relaxation

Try important chapters first then go down for less important chapters.

On holidays do this 3 steps 3-4 times.

Hope that I have helped you. If any querry ask in comments. Ciao :)
