Hello,

As per your requirement, i would say that you must be a neet aspirant, and would appear neet exam.

You are asking about aakash module of physics T o prepare for neet exam. According to me, aakash books are best in biology rather than physics and chemistry. But physics books are also good enough with detailed explanation and plenty of mcqs are given section wise in aakash module which if done properly with all correct concepts you would definitely score good in neet exam but you need to practice whatevr you get from any moduke as there ate no certain of questions coming from the chapter of Physics.

Most important thing is to practice mock test papers to score good in neet.

Good luck

Well, for an entrance into MA English you need to first have overall view of syllabus …

The syllabus of the any MA English entrance is as follows.

LITERARY TERMS & CONCEPTS

Figures of speech;literary movements, ;literary forms;history of English literature

LANGUAGE & GRAMMAR

Active / passive ; prepositions; questions tags ; articles ; synonyms and antonyms ; one word substitution with meaning.

COMPREHENSION & WRITING

Comprehension -unknown poem and passage ; letter writing; how to address a letter; business letter; friendly letter ; idioms and phrases..

Make sure you are well prepared with the complete syllabus and concentrate on language part as it consists of majority of marks.The literature is quite difficult and go through the pervious years papers which is very important.

All the best .

I would recommend MARROW. They offers various plans to choose from. The videos that have been recorded are quite informative and the good thing is that it is easily comprehended. The Q-Bank and the test series are to the point which test your ability to perceive knowledge and helps you think out of the box. When the option is either to afford or to excel, one does not have to think to sacrifice one for another, choose MARROW.

Juggling between JEE Mains and Board Exams is quite a task in itself. With almost all exams having a cut off on your 12th board percentage, board exams can’t be underestimated anymore. Almost all board exams start in March while JEE mains starts in April which means you have to plan your JEE Mains and Board Exams preparation extremely meticulously. Here are some tips, which you should keep in mind before you get started with JEE Mains and Board Exams:

JEE Mains and Board Exams

1. Focus on concepts & theory

While JEE Main is about practice, board exams are about theory. You have to be at articulating the theory and concepts you have learnt rather than applying them across many questions. Until you have a good grasp on theory & concepts you can do well while practicing for JEE Main. You would be tested heavily on theory and hence this provides a great opportunity for you to get well versed with it and brush up some concepts in more detail as it would ultimately help you in JEE Main as well

2. Revise thoroughly

In board exams, revision is the key to scoring marks. Its also important for JEE Main that you remember all the formulae so that you don’t miss on the easy questions. There are some aspects in each subject which need to be learnt by heart and revising it thoroughly can help you fetch easy marks. If you have a time constraint, prioritize the chapters with maximum weightage in JEE Main, which you have already covered and make sure that you revise them.

3. Have a Plan

Before you put pen to paper have a goal and plan in mind. Strategy is key to competitive exams’ preparation like JEE Main. Use the time for preparing for board exams to optimize your JEE Main preparation. A structured and detailed plan will not just help you focus but will also enable you to see the entire syllabus in one go and then break it down piece by piece. Here, you should be extremely careful not to exaggerate your abilities to complete topics. Be very practical and create a plan accordingly that satisfies boards as well as JEE Main preparations. Trying to do too much will stress you and disappoint you because it is not possible to work all day continuously without rest.

Include breaks, naps, and snacks in your plan as well so that you replenish your body from time to time.

4. Complete the Syllabus

Make it a point to go through the entire syllabus thoroughly without missing out on any topic. Many students tend to leave out topics because they think they are too easy or too difficult or because they barely have time. Start your preparation early so that you have time to complete the syllabus. JEE Main has questions from all the topics. Make sure you touch every aspect of the syllabus regardless of what you think about them (easy or difficult). This approach will help you ace your boards as well as your JEE Main exam because you will have studied everything clearly.

5. Understand the pattern

Having a thorough understanding of the question paper pattern is a must. JEE Main follows specific paper patterns that can be understood & strategically used to score well. This will help you study because you will know how to break time down and how to prepare for the test. Note the differences between the board exam paper pattern and the IIT pattern. Do not get confused between the two.

6. Avoid comparison

Do not compare your board exam preparation with your JEE Main preparation. In fact, you shouldn’t compare any aspect of these exams. Use the time during board exam preparation to optimize your JEE Main preparation but do not keep comparing the exams at every step. This will lead to confusion.

7. Practice Previous Year Papers

Practice previous year test papers of JEE Main will help you polish concepts that you are not confident about and get into the real groove of the JEE Main. According to the results, enhance your study process to help yourself further. Alongside, do not miss out on previous year board exam papers so that you work on both hand in hand.

8. Take up a Test Series

Studying with the help of a test series will also help you focus, understand your weak points, and augment your studying methodology accordingly. The Internet has many test series that you can make use of for board and JEE Main preparation.

Hope you find it helpful

let me know in the comment box if you are having any further doubts

thanks

Good Luck!

Hello Prema

There is no specific time to start preparing for any exam. Just keep in mind that your competitors must have started the preparation while you are counting the days to start from Sundays to Mondays.

Just wake up and start from today itself.
