#tw iit jee

[just-another-bored-killjoy]

heyyy buddy !!! Tw: anxiety and big rant ig..

I'm that one 71% jee anon if you remember T_T but anygays tmrw will be my next jee attempt and oh lord i remember you telling me that I'll do better but the way I'm so over with all these exams and shits like i just didn't even opened my books for once after my boards and the way I'm so painfully unfazed for tmrw is tbh very scary like ik i haven't prepared shit but hell do i care anymore??? Prolly nah!! Like I'm not at all concerned about it and still haven't read single shit at all (and the fact i dont want to give papers anymore I'm just so ready to waste one more year in preparations but no exams pls and the fact i have applied for like 5-6 more of the entrance exams and ik I'm not gonna prepare anything for it and somewhere I'm feeling this guilt of it all but somehow i also couldn't care less abt it... Maybe my pills are working too much on me cuz there's no single ounce of anxiety for tmrw but the way it still has worsen my mental health cuz now my hallucinations and mdd is out of control and i just can't focus for even 5 secs anymore so yeah i might need to work on it again but i can't with all those exams still left and really it's all just such a big mess ughhhhh

Chile anygays so what abt you ??? Are you giving this second attempt??? Well all the best just in case don't fuck it up like me and thanks for all the support and cheering you gave me earlier and sorry I'm gonna disappoint you too,,, have a great day,,, also love your blog

hello anon! yes i remember you :)

my second attempt is on 10th and unfortunately i am very underprepared for it :/

a person who got 71% in first attempt will surely get into a good college. you will get into the stream of your choice in the other exams, private colleges are mostly very easy to get into and their tests are easier compared to jee. and most private colleges also account jee scores and even if you mess up tomorrow your lowest percentile would atleast be 71! and that is a fucking lot!!

and india has enough engineering colleges other than the iits or the nits. bitsat will happen in late may(with a second attempt in june) so you still have time for that. i understand it's hard to concentrate, i am facing the same issue but there a SOO MANY COLLEGES. you'll definitely get into somewhere! but if you are really aiming for the iits and don't mind a drop year then go for it. whichever makes you comfortable. but know that once btech is completed we'll all just be engineers and as days pass by no one will remember whether you passed from iit or amity.

you will not be disappointing anyone. the fact that you are trying is more than enough to me. my dms are always open if you ever want to talk about anything. sleep properly tonight, have a nice breakfast tomorrow and fight the battle tomorrow knowing you're not in this mess alone<3

i scored -2 in chemistry besties this is so funny

[thoi2020]

u have advanced??????? wow. tips to qualify mains please??? help me with my modules.how do i solve them?????????

hnnng idk bestie here's some short tips n like if u want something more specific u can send another ask or dm me?

pay attention in class. sit in the front. listen out for what things the teacher puts an emphasis on. ask questions. yes, even the stupid ones. especially the stupid ones bc those are fundamentals u cannot miss bc a shaky foundation leads to a shaky building. also pay attention to ur teachers. theyve been doing this since before u even knew about jee they know what theyre doing. most of them want whats best for u, and if not specifically that, whats best for them n their institute which are usually similar things. im not saying blindly trust them without criticism but have some faith. dont dismiss them they prolly know better than u. if id followed my teachers instructions i prolly wouldnt have had to drop (but thats a discussion for another day lol).

revise notes on a regular basis. like. the day u studied it in class. then the next day. then a week later. then 2 weeks later. then a month later. google the curve of forgetting for more accurate time stamps. use flashcards for formulae n stuff that u have to memorise like inorganic chem.

analyse past papers. recognise the most important topics. but also there are some small chapters that are quite easy and some people skip them thinking there wont be any questions from them. ive given 4 papers of mains, and i can confirm that is utter bullshit. 1 question each from units and measurements, mathematical reasoning, stats, chemistry in everyday life, polymers, are guaranteed. u can easily secure at least those marks by spending just a little bit of time on them. esp for jee mains its relatively better to cover a wide range of topics with medium depth instead of just some but with deep understanding (the latter works well for advanced tho).

make a friend or two whos in the same boat as u, preparing for jee n try to keep each other accountable. tell each other everyday what ure going to study that day n then check back the next day. remind each other hlep each other out. also be friendly with the class toppers sometimes they can solve ur doubts better than teachers just bc something they explain clicks better. whenever i get confused about logarithms i think back to what my 9th grade classmate told me when i asked him to explain in 1 sentence n had him repeat it slowly to me multiple times. its burned in my memory and helped me so much. 

practice tests. set the proper 3 hour limit and solve them. be honest w urself ure doing this for u. no point scoring 256/300 to impress ur teacher if u cheated bc on the day of the exam ure going to be screwed. in the beginning try out different strategies, different ones work for different ppl. like for me, math is my favourite and i find it easier than the other 2 so i do it first and it gives me confidence. then i move on to physics and then chem. some people look over the entire paper n solve the easiest from every section first, then the medium ones, then the tough ones. experiment in ur practice tests n figure out whats best for u n ur test taking. after the test, analyse. see what u got wrong, why u got it wrong. clarify doubts. mark problem questions to revise and solve again later. no point in solving more n more questions if theres no retention or learning.

for solving books specifically under the cut bc this is getting too long lol:

stick to 1 or 2 books max per subject. make them ur holy books and swear by them. if ure doing coaching then the modules provided by them are a very good option bc theyre specifically for jee and will cover what u need. coaching teachers will have a lot of experience with them too so u'll have an easy time with doubts clarification. if u choose other books tho, still consult with ur teacher and ask them to tell u what's relevant and what isnt and dont waste ur time on whats not. it might make u look or feel smarter to be solving questions on stuff thats beyond the scope of the exam but u literally dont need it and the syllabus is already very vast so ure just going to waste time and brainspace. like sure if ure interested study it in ur own time but dont make it an Important Must Do thing.

ok now that u have ur book with everything relevant to jee, make sure u devour them. study the theory alongside ur class notes. solve a few questions of corresponding topics the day they are covered so u dont have so many questions lined up at the end of the chapter. like if i studied friction in newton's laws of motion today, i'll solve the questions relevant to friction today itself. or u know this week. like,, keep it current. then while solving, speak out loud and explain the problem to urself like ure teaching someone else (or better yet, find someone to teach them to. stuffed toys, younger siblings, ur classmate, grandparents, online friend, whichever works). mark all the questions that took u longer than 5 mins or u cant solve at all. dog ear the pages. try them again the next day. then again a few days later. take the ones u still cant solve to ur teacher. try n ask for just a hint once and try again. and then if u cant then ask for the solution. DO NOT go on the internet. ur brain doesnt have to work for it then n u think u got it but u dont got it. make ur brain work for the solution so it'll remember. 

now that uve given a good shot to every question and figured out where u stumble. analyse a bit. find a pattern if theres any: like a certain concept that is weak or something ure not understanding. read the theory for it if u have to n ask questions to clarify. then solve these problem questions again and again until u know every question well enough to be able to explain to someone. skip over the easy ones u dont gotta do them again n again, focus on the ones u stumbled on. theyre the weak spots. no use strengthening whats already strong enough.

and uh keep a notebook of the solutions of the questions u solve so that u dont have to go crazy searching for them in an emergency. like ur paper is tomorrow and u cant figure out this question that uve been trying for 1 hour then its a good time to review ur previous solution and refresh ur memory. often if uve practiced enough n its just exam stress etc thats making ur mind go blank then just a hint will be enough to remind u.

also this is more general but just. be consistent. small consistent efforts over multiple days instead of a big one in 1 day. u’ll retain better and ur brain does better with multiple small chunks spread out over an interval than a lot of stuff in a small one. and its ok to to have an off day dont kill urself over academics ur health is more important always. not getting into ur dream college might fuck u up but itll heal but ur health is more precarious and not getting enough sleep or food will def fuck u up and the consequences are a lot harder to deal with. dont think about the big picture or u’ll freak urself out just think about the next small step u can take. getting 99 percentile feels impossible but solving 10 questions for it does not. dont get disheartened by test results if ure working hard n smart u wont fail. even if u dont get into ur dream college u’ll have an excellent work ethic that’ll take u places u never thought of in ur wildest dreams. more than anything, be kind to urself and work n play hard.

who needs friends when u can finish a jee mains practice test 30 seconds before the timer ends 

[thoi2020]

Are you in a gap year rn? I'm thinking of taking one idk what to do? any adivce????

oooh yes i am taking a gap year but idk how relevant my advice and experience will be for u bc mine is mostly to just. study. bc i'm reappearing for iit jee and attending prep classes for it and so every day it's pretty much the same for me like i go to classes then come back and study more etc so idk i don't think i'll be very helpful u know.

[thoi2020]

kinda random but whats the worst topic each in physics math and chem for you? i'm also studying for jee </3

aaaa not this 😭 ok like these are def based on a combination of lack of interest and lack of understanding lmao. but anyways here's mine:

physics- mechanical properties of fluids, electromagnetic induction

chemistry- all of it electrochemistry, the p block elements

mathematics: nothing <3 lowkey three dimensional geometry

i have a doubt bestie and im not saying this to be mean or anything... u qualified mains so that means ur deffo pretty smart so is getting into a iit really end goal? i mean nit and bits are also good options and equally reputated colleges so why this fixation on iit?? again this is not meant to demotivate or anything just something i was curious about. anyways hoping the best for u <33

it's ok bby ure not sounding mean but also aaaaaaa idk idk i know a good scientific mind does not iit make and nits and bits are rlly rlly good too but like. ive always been told im very smart and destined for great things and all that u know. and so i relate the idea of greatness to getting into iit thanks to parents teachers and like. everyone else tbh. and the iit expectation from me has been there since 7th grade and it's too late to let go of it now. it's prolly not but like i cannot mentally handle it i think i would be permanently traumatised or something <3 like i KNOW its not the end of the world but it feels like it and it would take me months of thinking and therapy to convince myself otherwise which is something i cannot do right now so i'm just. trying again <3 and also like i did not do well enough in mains for a good nit or bits either like i want comp sci engg only i cannot study anything else (ok maybe aeronautical engg) so. yeah <3 either way i gotta do better this year. and thanks babe mwah!

[thoi2020]

into an iit😂

oh 😭 no bestie bc 1) u gotta sit for the counselling for iits which lasts like a month and starts tomorrow and 2) i didn't qualify the advanced exam so i can't sit for the counselling anyways lmao
