How to Prepare for IIT JEE Advanced in Class 10th: A Comprehensive Guide

Hey buddy! It's great to see you are aware of the competitive exam from the very beginning…

Take Your School Classes Seriously

To prepare for IIT JEE Advanced, it is crucial to take your school classes seriously, especially in Science and Mathematics. The chapters you will be studying in your 10th grade are the bedrock of the chapters you will encounter in 11th and 12th grade, as well as in the JEE.

Choose Your Books Wisely

Begin with:

Pearson IIT Foundation Books (PCM) for classes 9th and 10th: It is essential to start with books 2 to 3 classes back to fortify your basics. For instance, a student who was in class 8th in 2021 often revisited books from classes 6th and 7th by Pearson, physics, and mathematics and chemistry. Schaum's Outline of College Algebra, Elementary Algebra, and Calculus: Mastering these basics will pave the way for understanding the concepts in 11th and 12th JEE level physics. These books are not as popular as HC Verma and RS Agarwal, but many top performers swear by them for their foundational knowledge. Schaum's Outlines of The Beginning Physics I and II, and Modern Physics: These books will strengthen your basic understanding of physics up to class 11th and 12th levels. Starting now gives you a significant advantage over your peers.

Build a Study Habit Gradually

Start by studying for 1 to 2 hours a day and gradually increase the duration. Focus on the quality of your study rather than the quantity. For example:

Don’t push yourself to study for 3 to 4 hours from day one. Gradual increases in study time are more sustainable. Focus on the quality of your study over the quantity. Maintain your physical health by doing yoga for 10 minutes and meditation for 5 minutes. Avoid waking up too late. Try to wake up before 6:00 A.M. to manage your time better. Engage in physical activities like cricket, badminton, or football to keep a balanced lifestyle.

Importance of Consistency

Consistency is key when preparing for the IIT JEE. Once you get into a routine of studying for 1 to 2 hours over a period of 2 weeks, your mind and body will start to plan your time better. This will eventually help you manage your time without the need for a strict timetable.

Mock Tests and Test Analysis

Since you are in 10th grade, you have the golden opportunity to secure a place in top IITs and top branches. Alongside completing your syllabus and strengthening your basics, you should engage in mock tests and test analysis. The more you practice, the better prepared you will be for the actual exam.

Keep Stress at Bay

Navigating the path to IIT JEE can be stressful, but it can also be an exciting and adventurous journey. Enjoy the ride and stay focused on your goals. Remember, you have plenty of time, and rushing through your studies without focus can lead to regret. Stay persistent and driven!
