Important Tips to Prepare for NCHM JEE Reasoning and Logical Deduction Section 2025

Check out important tips to prepare for the Reasoning and Logical Deduction Section of NCHM JEE 2025 below:

Have a well-thought-out preparation plan: Make an effort to set aside at least one hour each day to prepare for the logical reasoning portion of the exam. List the subjects you wish to cover and give yourself a deadline to complete the Logical Reasoning syllabus by.

Do not mug up; practice: Instead of mumbling through the NCHM JEE Logical Reasoning part, try to comprehend the ideas and reasoning. Practice answering as many questions pertaining to a certain topic as possible when you have a firm grasp of the underlying concepts.

Start with the easier topics and questions: One area where you can finish the questions fast is Logical Reasoning, provided you grasp the underlying logic. Start by studying the subjects in which you are most at ease and work your way up to the more difficult ones in order to maintain your confidence and spirits.

Learn shortcuts to solve questions: You need to become familiar with several shortcuts if you want to answer Logical Reasoning problems more quickly. Some examples of shortcuts are creating a mind map, a graphic, and so on. It is very crucial to learn and apply shortcuts when discussing subjects like blood relations and syllogisms.

Attempt previous year's NCHM JEE question papers: Attempting NCHM JEE previous year's question papers is extremely important to understand the difficulty level and type of questions asked in the exam. Therefore, once you have completed your NCHM JEE Reasoning & Logical Deduction syllabus, solve as many NCHM JEE question papers as possible.

Time Management: It is vital to pay close attention to the time when taking the NCHM JEE papers. Time management becomes even more crucial while tackling Logical Reasoning problems because these issues can occasionally be difficult and time-consuming

Identify your strengths and weaknesses: After attempting an NCHM JEE question paper, it is important to analyse the errors you make in the Logical Reasoning section and thereafter work on your weaknesses and make your strengths even stronger. 

Revision: It is very very important to keep revising the concepts and topics you have already studied so that you do not lose the grip on the same.
