How to prepare for JEE Physics paper?

JEE is one of the most prestigious engineering exams in India. It is considered as the gateway to the world of immense possibilities. Competing in JEE exam requires focus and devotion to each of the three subjects – Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. Coming to Physics, it happens to be one of the most loved subjects which brings students closer to the workings of nature. Physics definitely helps students to connect with the ways of nature on a deeper level. Interesting fact is, scoring well in Physics is possible if given the right amount of efforts, hard and smart work along with useful guidance. Here are few tips for the Physics paper:

Conceptual Clarity: This is the most important point to keep in mind while preparing for JEE Physics paper. Students need to have clarity of fundamental concepts in Physics, the same thought has been reiterated by experts time and again. It is impossible to solve any problems in Physics, without having clarity of concepts.

Pick the Best Books: Preparing for an exam with access to best books goes a long way. Referring to a number of books may confuse students and do more harm than benefits. Consulting teachers and JEE experts, before heading to buy JEE Physics books will be helpful. Here are few recommended books for JEE Physics section:

• NCERT XI and XII Physics Books
• XI & XII CBSE Physics Books
• Sears and Zemansky’s University Physics by Roger A. Freedman & Hugh David Young
• Problems in General Physics by E. Irodov
• Basic Laws of Electromagnetism by I E Irodov
• S.S. Krotov Physics
• Concepts of Physics  by HC Verma

Solve Previous Question Papers: Practicing at least 3-4 test papers every day will give students an idea of where he/she stands and how the exam day will look like. Also practicing last 10 years question papers will give clear picture on the JEE question patterns. Taking up mock tests every day helps to improve speed and accuracy.

Ask the JEE Expert: Though it’s not always mandatory but great to have an expert to answer all Physics queries. Another great way to have doubts clarified is by asking teachers while attending your classes. Consulting teachers all through the way can help students to get through the exam well.

Focus on Important Topics: It is easy to score high in Physics, if a student knows how to segregate topics into – important and not so important. Physics syllabus is huge, so it is critical to focus more on major topics to garner maximum marks. Few of the frequently asked questions are from the following topics:

• Electricity and Magnetism
• General Physics
• Mechanics – Kinematics and Particle Dynamics
• Electromagnetic Induction
• Modern Physics
• Wave Optics
• Ray Optics
• Waves and Sound
• Electrostatics
• Measurement and Errors
• Heat and Thermodynamics

Give Your Best: At the end of the day, it is the student who can really make or break the deal. Whether India’s best experts or teachers have helped a student in all the stages of JEE preparation. It’s finally the student’s hard work, dedication and focus that will help him/her  to cross the JEE bridge.
