Understand the importance of both boards and JEE Mains

How much time you spend on the preparation of board and JEE exam depends on the importance of each exam. Your score in class 12 board exams decides your eligibility in JEE while your score in the IIT-JEE (Main and Advanced) decides your admission in the engineering college. So scoring well in both the exams is equally important. You can’t take the risk of ignoring one for the preparation of the other exam. Rather, you need to effectively make a preparation plan where you wisely cover syllabus of both. Thankfully, the JEE syllabus also covers topics from 12th class syllabus, which helps you save some time. You can master the topics well while preparing for boards and can just revise the same when preparing for JEE.

Understand the difference between JEE and Board exam pattern

Before starting with the preparation, you first need to understand the exam pattern. There is a huge difference between board exams and JEE both in terms of the type of questions and the exam format. Check the table below to understand the same:

Focus on concepts and theory

While you need to focus on theory to score well in board exams, JEE Main is all about the understanding and application of the concepts. However, a strong command on theory will help you with the preparation of both boards and JEE Main. With a strong preparation of theory and regular revision of concepts, you can perform well in JEE Main. Also, make sure you keep your fundamentals clear for the topics covered in JEE syllabus.

Revise thoroughly

Revision plays a vital role in any exam preparation and your performance on the D-day. Regular revision helps you understand your weak and strong areas, based on which you can modify your preparation plan. Remembering all the formulae is the key to success in the IIT-JEE. By learning some concepts and theories by heart, you can easily fetch good marks. And, the best way to do is to revise the syllabus regularly.

Complete the syllabus

Never think of skipping topics with the excuse of extra burden of doubt syllabus. See, when it comes to exams like JEE Main, you can't take a risk of skipping topics as you don't just have to get passing marks. No topic is too easy or too difficult to skip. Just remember that every topic is important if you aim to get top ranks in the engineering entrance exam.

Start your preparation early so that you get enough time to cover each and every topic. Touch every aspect of JEE syllabus without thinking about their level of difficulty. This will not just help you score well in JEE but also help you in board exams preparation.

Solve previous year papers and online tests

Comparison of JEE and 12th board exam preparation will just lead to confusion. Rather, make a list of the common topics and prepare them well just once to save time while preparing for JEE.

Prepare notes

Making notes for both boards and JEE can be helpful in many ways. First, it helps you in revision. You can write down formulae and different chemical reactions on charts and can go through the same every day before going to bed. Second, these help you in the last minute preparation. Instead of going through the books, you can just check the notes a night before the exam for the final revision.

With a right strategy, effective time management and well-thought out plan, you can easily manage preparation of JEE Main along with board exams.
