"I should recommend you to not follow many book its not going to help you"

By solving many books you may solve many question but still you are not going to sure this type question will comes so stick to your concept and solve only book which prescribed by your coaching

Always remember WITH YOUR CONCEPT YOU CAN SOLVE NEW 1000 QUESTION

But by solving many question not make you a man to solve new question you always try to think of concept comes in question you solved and this habit leads you to distract from real CONCEPT.

How many hours should I study For IIT-JEE?

Some of you out there must be toppers of your class or among the top 10% of your class. But that is just a performance in your class or best at a school level. It means till now you have been competing among a small student base of 50 – 1000 students.

But once you start preparing for IITJEE or AIEEE entrance, the competition is huge. This year in 2015, over 2 lakh students appeared in IITJEE and over 12 lakh in AIEEE. So my advice is that you seriously need to scale up your efforts to face the competition. You need to brush up your skills.

Are you ready to face these challenges?

You need to prepare yourself mentally as well as physically to face this competition.Mentally, you need to think wide when you think of competition you are facing. So don’t get defocused and remember that you have to compete with unknowns so you have to put your all efforts in it to excel.

May you have scored well in your school level examinations by not even spending 20 hours on studies at home but this is not going to be enough with such a huge competition. You need to scale up your efforts and set a target of 50-55 hours studies at home every week and you have to do scale up step by step.

It also true that you are not going to get start studying for 9-10 hours suddenly its require proper strategy.

For the first week you try to cut down your times which you are spending in other works by 2 to 3 hours
Next week cut down your times which you are spending in other works again by 2 to 3 hours
You cannot start studying 1o hours a day suddenly where as earlier you are studying for 3 to 4 hours
Try to do same as earlier, Increase your study time from 3-4 to 6-7 hours and in next week or after 2 weeks scale up to 9 to 10 hours.

How you study for these hours?

You have to study with full concentration, no disturbance, and continuously for 3 hour sessions. The idea is to simulate real exam conditions. While studying, you have to create an atmosphere as if you are sitting in exam. Avoid doing following during a 3 hours session:

Study on a desk if you have it at home. Avoid studying while lying down on a bed.
Don’t get up from your desk during 3 hours of study session. Even not for drinking water.
Don’t listen music during studies. If you have a habit, then slowly come out of it by reducing it day by day.
No phone calls and no SMS during studies.

Study with 100 percent concentration as if you are sitting in exam.

Things you should not do during JEE preparation!

Remember that for next 2 years you have to give your best to get admission in a good college. So to take out 55 hours every week, you need to sacrifice some of your time sucking activities.

If you are involved in any of the following activities mentioned below, I suggest you should stop it immediately:

Don't socialize too much:-Avoid too much talking on phone with your friends. Not more than -30 minutes every day. Keep yourself away from family discussions and don’t get into arguments with parents and brothers/sisters because it will only wastes your time and energy. Be selfish to focus on your career.
Don't spend long hours on TV, Internet and playing games:- If you are too much into TV, cut down immediately. Don’t spend more than 1 hour in front of TV every day.

Internet is the biggest addiction of all time. Real time sucker. Don’t sit on computer for more than 1 hour unless as their any study need.

Don't play outdoor sports:-Those who are playing physical games a lot should reduce them. These games are very tiring. If you are physically tired, you would not be able to concentrate on studies. I suggest evening walk or light exercise either in the morning or evening.
Don't study late night:- Those who study late nights, sleep whole day. This is a bad schedule. If you don’t sleep well in the night, you will feel sleepy in school and in your coaching classes. So best is you should sleep for 7 hours any time between 10 PM to 9 AM. Those who don’t get study atmosphere at home in the day time, in worst case they should study till 2.00 AM and get up at 9.00 AM.
Don't sleep for long or two short sleep hours:-You should target for 7 hours sleep every day. Also avoid day time sleeping for more than 90 minutes.Those you could manage to sleep less, I would not recommend a sleep of less than 5-6 hours. If body is tired, mind cannot function properly.
Don'ts go to school daily:-I suggest that if possible, go to school not more than 4 times a week. School studies are not going to play important role in your career at this stage. Even school studies should be done just before the exams say 1-2 weeks before exams.

How to solve problem:- Five Step Learning Approach (FSLA)

Why we need FSLA?

IITJEE is an exam that is totally based on problem solving. Mostly it is numerical based questions. Because of this nature of IITJEE, students preparing for IITJEE exam should spend most of their time in solving more and more problems.Its not only help you in cracking IITJEE but also help in better understanding of subject.

Many students who are spending lot of time on problem solving but even though they are not able to score in exam. behind this there are few reasons:-

This happens because while doing problem solving, they learn things but they do nothing to retain them in their memory.
They don’t remember ideas/tricks of many questions in exam which they should have solved.

To learn/memorize, they need to put efforts and time as well as they should follow the correct approach.

To retain and repeat, I recommend a “Five Step learning Approach (FSLA)” to you for doing problem solving and it will definitely help you in many dimensions like improving your speed, accuracy, problem solving ability and confidence in the topic.

Here are 5 steps of the approach.

STEP 1 –Understanding

In this step

(a) First Attempt the problem. Try to first see the problem and don’t directly jump to the solution. Try at least 5-20 minutes and not spend more then 5 minutes, if you don’t understand question properly and 20 minutes maximum if you are getting ideas after that only you should see the solution.

(b) Marking the difficulty levels. After seeing the solutions, you have to to decide the difficulty level of the question and always mark these level in front of each question. There can be 4 levels.

Easy level : Problem is easy if you are able to solve it in less than 5 minutes.

Moderate level : Problem is moderate level if you are able to solve it by just seeing the solution for less than 1 minute and get the idea.Or by trying hard and spend more time to solve it.

Difficult level : Problem is difficult if you are not able to do it yourself after spending lot of time and you have also taken lots of time in understanding the solution But finally able to understand solution very well.

Very-Difficult : Mark a problem a very-difficult if you are not able to understand the question and its solution is also impossible to understand so not waste more time at this stage they are useless and pull your confidence down.

Step 2 : Memorizing

In this step you have to solve question like that you are appearing for any test. The questions of the test would be the average and difficult questions you marked in step– 1. Just count how many questions you marked average or difficult after counting you should give test of 90 question(it can be collected from more than 1 chapters) at least and total time is 3 hours

You have to take test very seriously. Taking these tests will improve your following abilities.

Speed : As you have solve these questions earlier,so try to be little fast in solving these questions.This will improve your speed to write fast.

Accuracy : Try to be accurate as much as possible. If you are doing mistakes in more than 10% of the questions, focus on it and before you sit for the test try to make in your mind that today you are not going to do any mistake. If you make it a target that you have to be perfect, after few tests you will start seeing the results.

Concentration :While doing a test, you level of concentration is much higher. So these tests will help you in improving your concentration on a regular basis. So when you are doing these tests, make an environment that should resemble the environment you face at test center. Don’t answer phone, don’t respond to door bell, don’t get up for water and no music.

So give this test as mentioned above and this will help you in increasing speed,accuracy and also help in study hanit of studying for long hours.

Step 3 : Strengthening

After finishing step 2 where you appeared for a test based on the selected questions, you need to review your performance. If you could not solve most of the questions(not able to solve 60 to 70 out of 90 ), you need to repeat what you did in step 2 to strengthen your preparation. Do it after a gap of 4-5 days. You can even change some ratings before you take the test like you can re-mark some average questions as easy or difficult questions as average or average as difficult.

Step 4 :Building confidence

This is the fourth step where you revise all questions orally. This step should come after 4-8 days of the strengthening step. Keep 30 second for each question to revise . So for 90 questions, you can take 45 minutes.See each question and try to recall the trick/steps/concepts you applied to solve that question. If you are not able to recall in 15 seconds, mark the question and go to next question.Repeat this for all the questions. After all the questions are finished, refer solutions to see the marked questions and try to learn their ideas.

You should be able to recall ideas of 90% of the problems. If it is less, you need to repeat this step after few days.

After successfully recalling ideas needed to solve the question from your mind, feel like you are a master/expert of the topic. Do it with interest and full concentration, the way you watch movie or match.

Step 5 :Point to remember

You need to be regular and systematic to follow it. You also need a time table to plan these steps. Without schedule, it is impossible to remember steps of various topics and subjects.

I am sure you can take benefit of FPA as it helps in proving the knowledge of the topic as well as it prepares you for exams by improving your examination skills like speed, accuracy, concentration, knowledge.

Sorry for being so long but I tried to cover up a lot of things and get the hard copy of the books that I have mentioned from my link as this will support my blog.
