30 IIT JEE Tips in 3 Mins 🔥

Main ideas / concepts

1. Mindset and confidence

   • If a question feels difficult, it’s meant to be difficult for everyone—don’t panic.
   • Don’t compare yourself with other students; focus on your own progress and goal.
   • Avoid self-sabotage from negative thoughts (including fear from negative marking/exam patterns).
   • Enter the exam hall with the right mindset; don’t get distracted (e.g., by people around you).
   • Trust yourself and stay calm when tired or stuck.

2. Efficient use of coaching/material

   • Revisit all coaching material 3 times (it’s stated this is sufficient).
   • Focus on quality of questions, not quantity.
   • Don’t keep collecting more materials—stick to what you already have.

3. Practice strategy

   • Use PYQs (previous year questions): necessary, but “not enough” alone.
   • Prepare short notes for every chapter and revise them daily.
   • Read questions carefully; in Advanced (JEE Advanced), fewer questions may appear than in Mains—so solution quality matters more.

4. Mock tests, time management, and pacing

   • Give as many mock tests as possible.
   • Do timed mock assignments to improve speed.
   • Set daily targets and complete them fully.
   • Don’t target “marks”; the goal is to do all the questions you can.

5. Handling difficult questions during the exam

   • If you get stuck: move on to a simpler/easier question rather than wasting time.
   • Don’t leave a question unfinished during practice, but in the actual exam don’t try endlessly—avoid getting stuck.
   • Breathing/reset method:
     • Take deep breaths for ~15–20 seconds
     • Then relax for ~90 seconds
     • Resume from where you left off.

6. Exam-day social noise and ego control

   • Don’t follow the crowd/rumors; after the paper ends, don’t let others’ reactions influence you.
   • Don’t let ego control you—avoid pride that makes you keep fighting one question and lose time.

7. Sustaining mental/physical health

   • Health is emphasized as more important than preparation.
   • Mental wellbeing and patience are treated as essential for success.
   • A serious caution is included: do not become suicidal or emotionally collapsed after poor results (the speaker references a bad experience with friends).

8. Subject order and question distribution concept

   • Choose your exam strategy based on your own capability.
   • One approach mentioned: start with Chemistry because it’s easier initially.
   • A guiding belief: doing 6–7 questions perfectly in each subject is stated to be enough to crack the exam.
   • If someone fails the first few questions, it causes depression—so be patient and start with manageable questions.
