Test series(the real mystery)

Aloha Folks !
Hope you are doing good with your preparations.Many of you might  have completed their JEE syllabus and may be planning about what to do next, and some of you may be still in the syllabus completion stage.For people from  both these lots you need to enroll into some test series in order to hone your problem solving skills and get a taste of the real exam like environment.
For those who have completed the syllabus:
  • If you are in a coaching centre then you must have enrolled in their respective test series.If not ,then go for one .Keep one thing in mind that if your actual test is going to be online then the test series you join should also provide you with online test experience.
  • Don’t go for test series which have difficulty level of questions way above than the actual exam.They aren’t of any use until you just want to have some very much fun with those questions and not focus on the actual exam .
  • Start giving timed full syllabus tests at home also in the same exam like environment which you will have during your actual test.Also try to fit in the same timing slots as it will be on The Day.
  • Stick to your starting and ending timings as in the actual exam no matter what happens you won’t get any extra time.
  • Keep the ending time around 15-20 mins less than the actual 3 hours time.This exercise is to be done as in the actual exam day these 15-20 mins will count for the pressure that you feel in the exam hall.
  • Make sure that after giving the test you go through the paper and check your solutions.If you made a mistake then make note of it so that you don’t repeat it again.Overtime you will see that whenever you are going to make a mistake you will be reminded not to do it 😛
  • Silly mistakes cannot the eliminated completely but can be reduced overtime with the above practice.
  • Remember that the test series are mostly have questions which are a little above the original paper but this is required as you will need to train yourself for the worst situation also, remember JEE paper may have any level of difficulty.
  • If you don’t perform well in some tests then don’t let yourself down.Figure out the mistakes that you made and work upon them.As I always say ,keep in mind that your goal is to progress everyday. Don’t make any rank as a goal but try
    (stress on try) to improve upon yourself everyday.
For those who are still in the syllabus completion phase:
  • Don’t worry you aren’t far enough from others.And when I say it I mean it also.
  • Keep on completing your syllabus and along with that whenever you get time try to give part tests of the syllabus that you have completed.
  • You will have to make out time for this.Remember that JEE should be at your topmost priority and you should give your optimum time to it.I won’t say that it is going to be easy but it will be definitely worth it.
  • And when your syllabus gets completed then move on to full tests and follow the tips given above.
  • Main aim of test series is to prepare you for the real exam while revising the complete syllabus.So,keeping this in mind keep revising also,once you complete the syllabus.
At the end it all boils down to the exam temperament that you are going to gain by giving these tests .I know it is going to be difficult at times and sometimes too monotonous.But if it is not challenging you then it isn’t going to change you.
So, TRAIN HARD AND WIN EASY!!!
Mahalo !!! Good luck!!!

Keep sleep OFF

Aloha Amigos! Feeling sleepy is something I encountered a lot during my JEE preparations :p. Here are some of the tried and tested foolproof hacks (as in my language) which will solve your problem: Develop a habit of reading and understanding things fast.This will help you a lot. Try to take most of the food in breakfast ,a light dinner( try avoiding much rice made stuffs in lunch),and have a very light dinner.(trust me!!! I didn’t eat anything made outside my home & my mumma took special care of my diet during my preparation time.Sometimes it was monotonous and fustrating but at the end it was all worth.) Take power naps (it is a short sleep taken during the working day in order to restore one’s mental alertness).These power naps are very helpful in improving health issues also like blood pressure,stress etc. Adding some science into it.You must have have experienced that sometimes when you get up then also you are not satisfied with it.Also it must have happened that y...

Making out maximum output of every hour in your day

Seems like you already have that spark of motivation in you to excel in JEE.Let me help you keep that spark alive. Following are some of the hacks(my language if you have read any of my previous blogs) that will definitely help you to bring out the best of you everyday. First of all don’t target any rank or marks,rather try to improve upon your capabilities everyday. Now science is a proof that those people who study late night have a higher IQ than others.Sharing my own experience,what I did for this was that whenever I was at home in the afternoon then I used to sleep for sometime and then at night I used to study extra time ,4 times of what I slept in the afternoon.(Ex-I slept 1 hour then i used to study till 4 am and then again wake up at 8:30.) Try to take naps at those times when you can’t do anything productive eg-while travelling like in my case I used to sleep a lot while traveling in metro. Everyone does hardwork but those who do consistent hardwork are able to ma...
