1. Solve at least 40-80 numerical problems daily starting from day one. This is inclusive of Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics.
2. Set time limits for a set of questions and see to it that the time-score performance improves.
3. Also find time to analyze the formulae and the theoretical concepts involved. Always think and discuss with like minded mates, (a) what are the points at which you or they are making the mistakes, and (b) what are the factors which slow you down, that is, kill time.
4. When you are solving questions pertaining to a particular topic, keep close watch on previous years’ question papers, say, of last 10-15 years. This is to be carried out only when your cut-out job for the day is done. The pattern changes are to be given special importance.
5. Always achieve your daily target. You have to outdo more and more candidates on a daily basis. Remember there may be, and surely are, many candidates solving 100 problems a day or may be 150-200. When you are about to call it a day, prepare your next day’s detailed schedule.
6. Try to develop a stream-line thought process, which is of great help in solving numerical problems quickly. This kind of thinking can be developed by practising gradual logical progression. It means building up of your solution step by step with contextual thinking and not allowing and discarding stray reasoning.
7. Till the time the exam ends, never ever, for any reason whatsoever, think that the fight has ended. This point is being emphasized since many candidates leave the battle halfway thinking their effort will not cut ice and they will be better prepared next time. Remember even if you are not fully prepared, trying hard will at least make you have a feel of the difficulty barrier and who knows you might be as up in the list as will secure you an entry into the golden gates. Simply said, peaking at the right time may see you through the test. 3 Gs namely, gumption, grit and guts held till the last moment may produce surprising results.
8. Target the difficult parts of the syllabus first and prepare them along with concise, crisp, easy-to-look up notes. Such notes will allow shading extra pressure on the eve of the examination. So the strategy consists in moving to easier parts of the course as the exam nears. Alongside, you would be revising your notes for difficult parts.
9. You will also have to develop a subject-wise strategy. Are you comparatively stronger in Chemistry than Mathematics or Physics ? Then probably you will have to allot more time to the later two. The subject-wise strategy formulated in detail may turn into chapter-wise or topic-wise strategy, meaning that more time is allotted to tougher topics. Moreover fine tune your plan so as to allot more time to the topics which are common to board exams as well as IITJEE during January and February. It may be pre-assumed that the whole of February and more than half of March will have to be devoted to the preparation of and appearing in the board examination.
