Revision for JEE in class 12th

Many of you had been asking me for a post on revision. Especially students of class 12. At this moment class 11 students don’t have much to revise, so this post is mainly for students of class 12. But I recommend everyone to read it(so that class 11 students can avoid common mistakes people usually commit).

Many of you had been asking me for a post on revision. Especially students of class 12. At this moment class 11 students don’t have much to revise, so this post is mainly for students of class 12. But I recommend everyone to read it(so that class 11 students can avoid common mistakes people usually commit).

So there would be two kinds of students-

1. Who studied well in class 11 (i.e. all their concepts are clear, they didn’t leave many topics, practiced a lot, remember all formulae, equations, reactions, etc.)

Both kinds of people need to revise well now. But the strategies would be different. Don’t feel bad if you didn’t study well in class 11, you can still do wonders. Just follow the below guidelines sincerely, and I assure you good revision.

Attend all classes in 12th and clear every doubt. Make sure you understand class 12th well too. For revision, you should take out a fixed amount of time everyday(or make a few big slots every week). Make a diary and list all the topics in which you feel the slightest of doubt. Then pick up few of them everyday and design a schedule as to when are you going to cover them(you can adjust on the basis of your coaching test schedule maybe). 

Read theory quickly first (short notes help in this, and I recommend you to make them if not done yet) and then practice some good quality questions. Try to cover all major types of questions so that you revise everything(marking important questions while solving a book/coaching module helps in this process, so do it now if you haven’t done it before). Try to give regular tests so that you have an idea of your progress. Also, try to mark yourself after every revision session. Use a timer to time yourself. Make sure you analyze,e your mistakes during those sessions. This will improve both speed and accuracy.

Now coming to students who didn’t study well/didn’t study at all in class 11, you have a lot of time left. 1 year is enough to score any range of marks in JEE. I mean it. Just be patient and follow these points-

First of all, sit-down, take a copy and note down all the reason which due to which you couldn’t study. Was it lack of awareness? Lack of commitment? Lack of Intelligence(well trust me on this, JEE doesn’t need intelligence. All the intelligence factor fades away if you work hard enough.

Try to remove that as much as possible. You have already wasted a year. If you can’t focus now, I am sorry, you can’t make it. But if you are ready to focus, it’s not that tough.

Coming to the point, first list the topics into three categories- topics you are comfortable with, topics which you are okayish with, and topics you don’t know at all. Now sit with a teacher and sort the list on the basis of their importance in class 12 topics (e.g.- Ionic Equilibrium is required for Electrochemistry).

 Now sort it such that the most important topics come at the top. Starting from the top, try to cover the ones which you don’t know at all. Pick up a Sunday/holiday, sit for 10-12 hours and complete it. 

First read theory(class notes/NCERT/any standard book, go to Books post if you don’t know about it). Then start with some easy questions(exercise 1 of coaching sheet or any good question bank). 

Slowly advance to the more tough questions. Try to decide topics of class 11 which you’ll improve on a weekly basis. Like I’ll revise chemical and ionic equilibrium this week, etc. If you follow this and work hard enough, I guess 2 months are enough to clear most backlogs. 

And then follow the rules I mentioned for the students who studied well in class 11. And try to do more tough questions once backlogs are clear.
