Expert Answer

Try to turn studying into a game—it really is about having those reinforcements that encourage hard work and discipline. For example, after you're done studying, you can treat yourself to a nice dessert or watch a fun video on YouTube. You'll essentially tell yourself, "Hey, after I'm done with this, this is my reinforcement for having accomplished all that studying," and follow through with it.

Question

What tactic should I follow? What should I keep in mind while preparing?

Community Answer

First of all, if you have finished thoroughly with NCERT and done some advanced study, it is better to take the test series course in a reputed coaching institute. Look for shortcut tricks. Practice as many quality questions as you can.

Question

Can I prepare for the IIT JEE in 10 days?

Community Answer

Sure, you can prepare - even in one day - but that won't guarantee you a decent score. JEE is a marathon, not a sprint. The preparation is quite long.

Question

Does preparing intermediate materials cover a percentage of the question paper?

Community Answer

Yes preparing them can complete your 50% of the question paper which may be direct, conceptual questions. And the other half depends on your thinking abilities and your way of problem solving.

Question

How long should I study at night?

Community Answer

Try not to spend too much time studying at night. Try to study during the day instead so that you can get more sleep. If it already is the night, then try getting to sleep early so that you'll have time to study in the morning.

Question

Should I join a big institution, or can I study by myself?

Community Answer

Joining an educational institute gives you an extra edge. It is not required for all, but having a coaching institute helps you to increase your performance level. Ninety six percent of those who have succeeded in IIT have been attached to some coaching institute.

Question

How can I prepare for it from the 10th standard?

Community Answer

Unfortunately, you can't. While obviously you can clear your basics, doing the XI and XII Syllabus while in tenth is not a wise option, as it may lead to unnecessary stress in life and there is a risk of not preparing the foundations adequately in 10th standard, so focusing on those and getting them into good shape is the best form of preparation.

Question

I am in eighth and I'm very ambitious to get in IIT. So, should I start preparing now or should I start a couple of years later?

Community Answer

Since there is no age to start, the earlier that you start learning the sub, the better. Start slowly and when you appear for your first examination, you will surely crack it. Once you know this is what you want to do is really the time to start.

Question

How many hours should I study daily to get a decent score in IIT?

Community Answer

It is not about how much time you study daily, but how much of it you use it wisely. For example; reading simple basic theory from the NCERT textbook will not help as much as studying the harder areas and doing the study questions.

Question

Should I stop using any kind of entertainment (Netflix, books, etc.) before the test?

Community Answer

You should prioritize your studying, but don't run yourself into the ground with stress and misery. Taking breaks from work in order to enjoy things like reading or watching movies is healthy and can ultimately improve your test performance by preventing burn out (assuming you don't let those activities take over studying).

Question

How many hours should an IIT aspirant sleep at night?

Community Answer

It makes no difference if you're an IIT aspirant. The optimal hours of sleep are the same for almost all humans, no matter what they're doing with their lives. That means 7-9 hours a night for adults, 8-10 for teenagers, 9-11 for children.
