Chem....

Look for steric factor
Look for conjugated structure

general tips

Start solving paper ur good at first
ill say maths as it picks up the momentum
from my personal experience

DONT ponder over toughies in first instance if u can identify they r toughies and arent able to solve within 2 min
For jee
rule 1 finish all easy and medium ones in 2hrs...... this shud include almost full chem and phy and atleast half of maths
rule 2 now go to toughies in maths and ull find automatically how ideas click from nowhere to you . then u shud have abt 20 min left for phy and chem

always don't try to eliminate the options . leave that as the last resort .

and in chemistry , see generally every problem can be solved by GOC

look for that first then if u don't get , then some named reactions might be useful
. else leave the problem .
in inorganic and physical . well it's memory and partly logic also . try to eliminate the most stable molecule whenever a reaction takes place . it works sometimes , but very rarely

if a question looks very very easy and you get the answer in a moment i.e 2 or 3 secs

then ponder for a moment checking whether you're making a conceptual mistake

again if you get same ans
then go for it

@grandmaster

(1*1)/(1)-1=0 [7][7][7]!!!
[3][3][3]

he he..

ok this one worked really well

when maximum or minimum of (=,-,x,/) is asked take all the quantities to be same and you"ll get an extremum value in most of the cases,i donno why but it works well

listen to ur heart .. u'll get an answer ... eliminate that option because ur heart is never correct ... then 3 options left .. ur brain will guide u to the correct option if god is with u ...

2 yrs kuch nahi kiye toh abhi kuch nahi ukhad sakte ho .. bas pachtao !!

this is not true re....
jee has become a bit easy ... a bit ...

so there may be easy qs ....

1
Akand ·

yup.........if a question appears tooo easy in JEE......then it involves sum stupid trick which we wud never get .........so better leave it.....

Двҥїяuρ now in medical c ·

If u see the Question seems to be too easy...then better leave it!!

Kalyan Pilla ·

@Ram

if u don get even a single idea abt d question asked

Better not answer!!!

You dont want a negative[11]

1
Pavithra Ramamoorthy ·

if u don get even a single idea abt d question asked ,

jus tick d option which u think dat its wron ans fr dat question....

not kiddin.. it works in many cases....

if some quesrions are shown more wid tricks [1]

Subash ·

you need an example for geometry?

http://targetiit.com/iit_jee_forum/posts/circles_4789.html

this should do it

1
Akand ·

First and foremost........

Analyse the given options......Do elimination....
some times we may get the answer without reading the question too....

especially in physics USE LOGIC.

1
AARTHI ·

yup chem learning is da only way 2 escape.....heheh [3]

1
skygirl ·

actually ... there can be innumerous such tricks ....

100 questions can have 100 new tricks....

some very very common are :

>>dimensional analysis

>>putting value

others depend upon the question

in physics if something is asked abt like

wat will happen at time 't' ...

chcek for t=0 ... if u know wat is happening at t=0 ..

in chem DONT USE ANY TRICK :p :p :p [3]

In trigonometry...putting θ=0°,30°,60°,90°in many problems ..gives the ans...

1
Akand ·

geometry with complex.....

For these kind of questions.....use coordinate geometry...that is plot d points on d argand plane.....

Z0=(1,2)

then go on...

1
AARTHI ·

yup it also works with complex nos...

any example abhirup.

In coordinate geometry...often ploting points makes it easier than calculating with formulae

JOHNCENA IS BACK ·

any example for geometry ques. akand.

Akand ·

For maths....
GEOMETRY questions............the best thing is to DRAW THE FIGURE and get d desired results....

Akand ·

CONTD>
u need the force on the vertical section ABCD......

now see the first terms of each option....
u see that for d vertical thing ABCD.......∩r2 isnt needed....

and also d second term........ its basically hρg*area
and area is d area of ABCD

if u combine all these things ull get d ans as B

which is correct

hehe

1
Akand ·

In the above question...
(a very difficult at the first look indeed)
see the options carefully...
u will realise that there is a || sign in all of them....
BUT look at the fourth option.....

ALL TERMS ARE POSITIVE......so y do we need a ||???

so eliminate it....

now look at d oder options......if u cant get a clue.....
then read the question...

CONTD>

Akand ·

for example.....

In the above question...

AARTHI ·

dimensional checks...well not 4 iit but may b useful in aieee
