IIT JAM 2024 Last-Minute Preparation Tips
The section below brings a list of tips that are not just related to studies, but practical aspects as well.
1. Revision: Isn’t it annoying when you learn something by heart and end up forgetting the concept on the day of the exam? It usually happens when you do not revise your subjects, especially a few days before the exam. The best way to revise any topic is to solve as many questions as possible related to it.
2. Attempt sample papers and previous year question papers of IIT JAM: Solving a question paper of the previous year will not only boost your confidence level but also help you know the frequently asked questions. With a couple of days still to go, you can easily attempt at least two to three question papers. Devote the remaining time to work on your areas.
3. Find out your areas of improvement: As you revise your notes and solve IIT JAM sample papers, you may come across a few areas where you still lack consistency or clarity. To eliminate your weak points, go through the notes again and try solving questions of varying difficulty levels.
4. Refrain from studying fresh topics: Starting off with a fresh topic will cut down your revision hours and may also create confusion. Students often try to cover every topic of the syllabus and end up retaining partial information. Instead, it is recommended that they emphasise on revising key topics and solving questions related to the same.
