  • Medium: 53% in Mains, 35% in Advanced
  • Tough: 27% in Mains, 45% in Advanced
• Approach to Questions:
  • Easy Questions: Theory + PYQs (Previous Year Questions)
  • Medium Questions: Exercise 1 + PYQs
  • Tough Questions: Advanced single correct questions + thorough PYQs

3. Important Chapters

• Priority-wise Division: Green, Yellow, Red chapters
  • First Priority (Green):
    • Vectors & 3D, Sequences & Series, Binomial Theorem, Integration, Differential Equations, Matrices, Determinants
  • Second Priority (Yellow):
    • Statistics, Limits, Quadratic Equations, Functions
  • Least Priority (Red): Specific chapters contributing lesser questions
• Class 11: Cover all chapters sequentially
• Class 12 & Droppers: Focus on Green and Yellow priority chapters for a high score

4. Detailed Strategy to Strengthen Maths

a. Strong Theory

• Importance of understanding theory thoroughly
• Process: Lectures → Notes Making → Revision → Solved Examples → DPP (Daily Practice Problems) → Back Exercises → PYQs

b. Habit of Not Skipping Questions

• In practice, challenge yourself rather than skipping tough questions
• Mandatory: Attempt the last 30-40 crucial questions in question banks as they hold key concepts

c. Overcoming Fear of Maths

• Remove the mindset of “weak in Maths” by consistently dedicating time and effort

d. Practice

• Effective practice is about diversifying question types
• Develop problem-solving skills to tackle new questions in exams

e. Developing Procedure

• Write down the approach beside the solution steps to remember long-term

Book Recommendations

• Coaching Students: First priority should be coaching material + PYQs
• Self-study Students: Essential book: Arihant's 23 years chapter-wise and topic-wise PYQ book for Maths, Chemistry, Physics
  • Unique Point: Questions sorted by difficulty levels and detailed solutions

Best YouTube Channels for IIT JEE Preparation

• Physics, Chemistry, and Maths channels are recommended for in-depth study

Revision Techniques

1. Formula Revision

   • Prepare a formula list; review it daily for 10 mins

2. Remembering Question Types

   • Write a short algorithm/approach beside each solution step for different question types for easy recall during exams

3. Effective Revision through Practice

   • Mix basic, unique, tough, and advanced level questions for comprehensive skill development

Conclusion

• Execution is Key: Following and executing the strategies will lead to success in JEE Mains and Advanced
• Community Interaction: Comment doubts for responses or ask for short notes and JEE updates
