Best Revision Strategy for IIT JEE
Here are the best ways to revise in JEE preparation.
- Start revising early. Include a specific revision slot in your JEE preparation schedule. Don’t procrastinate the revision time for new study.
- Make notes and revise from them regularly. You can also prepare a handbook or short notes that you can revise before the exam.
- Don’t spend too much time making your notes pretty. For diagrams, include all the details you need to learn but don’t try to produce a work of art.
- Use Mnemonics to remember difficult words, phrases and statements. Memory Needs Every Method Of Nurturing Its Capacity” is a mnemonic for spelling ‘mnemonic.’
- Make flow charts, diagrams, tables, posters, post-its, etc. and stick them wherever possible and have a glance at them repeatedly.
- Use flashcards to learn & revise topics and concepts. Flashcards allow you to study anywhere, in class, school, bus, etc. This helps in building your knowledge, generates interest, and above all utilises your non-productive time.
- Quiz yourself. Ask yourself questions about the topic when you finish it.
- Read things out loud in different accents or voices. Then when you are trying to recall the facts, you’ll remember the accent and then hopefully the fact too.
- Are you an early bird or a night owl? Revise when you are most alert.
- Discuss topics after having revised them, with your classmates.
- Revising theory is not enough, you also need to solve problems to revise effectively.
- Solve mock tests to evaluate your preparation. Analyse your mistakes in the test and do complete revision before the next test.
- Use different learning and revision styles. Just as everyone learns differently, everyone also revises differently. Try a lot of different techniques and see what works for you.
- During revision, you may find some new doubts or questions. Clear them asap.
- Don’t mug up things. Avoid cramming unless it’s some Chemistry part or basic formulas.
