Hi

The main difference between board examination preparation and JEE preparation is that :-

board focus on theory part and concepts while jee focus on your ability to apply concepts and theory Learned to solve numericals and problems

But you don't need to worry if you prepare for JEE examination you can easily manage board examination as well as you will be learning same subjects for both JEE and board examination the only difference is that your board examination will be subjective while your Je examination will be objective type.

To prepare well

You should follow time table , after finishing each chapter you should go through numericals, go through previous year question papers of your board examination and Jee examination and once you are done with preparation go through mock test papers

hello,

one must understand that if one is preparing for IIT JEE, one is automatically preparing for the Boards. The focus should be on understanding the concepts rather than mugging them up. The Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics remain the same, if one has a thorough understanding of the subject, one should be comfortably able to answer the questions in both types of examinations. One should continue to take



JEE type mock tests even during this period. In fact, there are some students who take JEE type tests even during the preparatory holidays and they do exceedingly well in both the exams.


Divide your preparation time equally. To ensure each subject is given equal emphasis, it is better to divide your preparation time suitably. Spend equal time to revise each subject and then attempt the sample/mock and past years papers. Preparation should be a mixed basket of revision of the syllabus and taking the sample papers. This way, you will be able to revise the syllabus while taking the sample/mock/past years papers simultaneously.

Pick the right Study and revision strategy. In this phase when school students are flooded with all kinds of reference books from different publishing houses, it is vital to follow the right books without losing the track. NCERT textbooks serve the best purpose for serious students. Also use revision notes made progressively for two years of school/self-study/reputed coaching institute. At this stage of preparation with only few months left you can make ready reckoners/concise notes listing chapter wise formulas and key points for in depth understanding of concepts and tricks learnt in their application.

Get your basic concepts clear. Physics comprises of three major sections – Modern, Optics and Electricity. Spend more time on sections that are challenging. Pay more attention to challenging topics in the three subjects. Do not ignore chemistry which is very high scoring with memorising/practice depending upon the section. Inorganic requires more of mugging. Physical chemistry needs practice of numerical. Past papers are big help to know the format ,distribution and type of questions asked.

Get the right temperament of exams. Preparing for two exams simultaneously needs to be done methodically and meticulously especially when it comes to getting used to the exam pattern. Be aware of the differences between the board exam paper pattern and the JEE pattern. Attempt previous years’ papers. Practice makes a man perfect. So, attempting previous years’ test papers of Board exams and JEE Main will help you hone your skills and concepts that you are not confident about and get into the real temperament of exams.

Take mock tests. It is not too late to find out your weak areas and work accordingly to bridge that gap.

Give special emphasis to the exclusive Board type questions: There are certain sub-topics in various subjects which generally get more weightage in the Boards because the questions are subjective type,There are also some topics which are part of JEE Main but not part of the JEE Advanced exam which some students tend to ignore during their preparation. For example, in physics the chapters on Electronic Devices and Communications Systems are part of JEE Main and the Board exam but not part of the JEE Advanced Exam. Students should carefully study these chapters along with the Questions from the Sample /mock/past years papers so that they can comfortably handle descriptive questions of Board and Multiple choice conceptual questions of IIT JEE from these chapters.

best of luck.
