The lockdown has given aspirants taking various competitive exams extra time. RL TRIKHA tells PIONEER AVENUES what the new strategy should be for those taking the JEE Main to be conducted in July
The lockdown has given additional time for aspirants. What should be the preparation strategy?
The lockdown has indeed made it challenging but the positivity is that aspirants get additional time. With the dates and schedule for JEE Main second phase out to be conducted in July and for JEEA to be conducted in August, aspirants need to plan and work as per their preparation strategies. This period should be effectively utilised for revision, practice, testing and analysis of weak points with remedial measures and hence meticulous planning is required for efficient outcomes, keeping the major focus on gaining conceptual understanding of the subjects. While it must be difficult for students to study without having access to daily classes, they must not lose focus.
How can students connect with experts?
Though the offline coaching is the best for a child’s wholesome development and optimum success, but by the time the legendary classes are resumed after normalcy, students need to adapt to an online platform where they get assistance for learning, practice, doubt clearance, and expert connect.
Are online classes helpful? If so how?
The FIITJEE which has a history of great adaptability has already started its online coaching since March 31, 2020 in the best possible way to simulate student experience as close to off-line classes as possible. By understanding that every student learns differently, myPAT empowers every student to learn the way they want.
What should be the strategy to score well in the second phase?
After analysing wrong attempts of the phase 1, aspirants need to work on their weak areas. Without wasting time revise all chapters of all subjects, practice and take mock tests to increase speed and accuracy. This extra time must be wisely utilised to perfect the ability to solve problems with a deep perception of concept involved, improving the time needed to solve the given problem, identifying the weak points, and correcting them. Students must stay positive and determined.
How can students know if they are ready?
The only way to analyse your status of preparedness is to compete. Identifying the mistakes, weak areas and shortfalls are the only way to strengthen the preparedness. Mock tests play an important role to know strong and weak areas. To analyse your preparation, students are advised to take mock tests and identify their shortfalls for improvement.
How to prepare for JEE Main and Advanced?
The foremost essential for succeeding in JEE is a smart work plan which covers the entire syllabus well in time to enable quick revision in the last lap. Make the study timetable that utilizes the time effectively by dividing the subjects and topics on daily basis to cover comfortably. Allocate adequate time to each subject such that due attention is paid to each topic. Following timetable with discipline is the key.
