How many hours should I study ?

Some of you out there must be toppers of your class or among the top 10% of your class. But
that is just a performance in your class or best at a school level. It means till now you have been
competing among a small student base of 50 1000 students.

But once you start preparing for IITJEE or AIEEE entrance, the competition is huge. This year in
2015, over 2 lakh students appeared in IITJEE and over 12 lakh in AIEEE. So my advice is that
you seriously need to scale up your efforts to face the competition.

Are you ready to face these challenges?

You need to prepare yourself mentally as well as physically to face this competition.Mentally,
you need to think wide when you think of competition you are facing. So dont get defocused
and remember that you have to compete with unknowns so you have to put your all efforts in it
to excel.

May you have scored well in your school level examinations by not even spending 20 hours on
studies at home but this is not going to be enough with such a huge competition. You need to
scale up your efforts and set a target of 50-55 hours studies at home every week and you have to
do scale up step by step.
It also true that you are not going to get start studying for 9-10 hours suddenly its require
proper strategy.

For the first week you try to cut down your times which you are spending in other works
by 2 to 3 hours
Next week cut down your times which you are spending in other works again by 2 to 3
hours
You cannot start studying 1o hours a day suddenly where as earlier you are studying for 3
to 4 hours
Try to do same as earlier, Increase your study time from 3-4 to 6-7 hours and in next
week or after 2 weeks scale up to 9 to 10 hours.

How you study for these hours?

You have to study with full concentration, no disturbance, and continuously for 3 hour sessions.
The idea is to simulate real exam conditions. While studying, you have to create an atmosphere
as if you are sitting in exam. Avoid doing following during a 3 hours session:

Study on a desk if you have it at home. Avoid studying while lying down on a bed.
Dont get up from your desk during 3 hours of study session. Even not for drinking water.
Dont listen music during studies. If you have a habit, then slowly come out of it by
reducing it day by day.
No phone calls and no SMS during studies.

Study with 100 percent concentration as if you are sitting in exam.

Remember that for next 2 years you have to give your best to get admission in a good college. So
to take out 55 hours every week, you need to sacrifice some of your time sucking activities.

If you are involved in any of the following activities mentioned below, I suggest you should stop
it immediately:

Don't socialize too much:-Avoid too much talking on phone with your friends. Not more
than -30 minutes every day. Keep yourself away from family discussions and dont get
into arguments with parents and brothers/sisters because it will only wastes your time
and energy. Be selfish to focus on your career.
Don't spend long hours on TV, Internet and playing games:- If you are too much into
TV, cut down immediately. Dont spend more than 1 hour in front of TV every day.

Internet is the biggest addiction of all time. Real time sucker. Dont sit on computer for
more than 1 hour unless as their any study need.

Don't play outdoor sports:-Those who are playing physical games a lot should reduce
them. These games are very tiring. If you are physically tired, you would not be able to
concentrate on studies. I suggest evening walk or light exercise either in the morning or
evening.
Don't study late night:- Those who study late nights, sleep whole day. This is a bad
schedule. If you dont sleep well in the night, you will feel sleepy in school and in your
coaching classes. So best is you should sleep for 7 hours any time between 10 PM to 9
AM. Those who dont get study atmosphere at home in the day time, in worst case they
should study till 2.00 AM and get up at 9.00 AM.
Don't sleep for long or two short sleep hours:-You should target for 7 hours sleep every
day. Also avoid day time sleeping for more than 90 minutes.Those you could manage to
sleep less, I would not recommend a sleep of less than 5-6 hours. If body is tired, mind
cannot function properly.
Don'ts go to school daily:-I suggest that if possible, go to school not more than 4 times a
week. School studies are not going to play important role in your career at this stage.
Even school studies should be done just before the exams say 1-2 weeks before exams.

How to solve problem:- Five Step Learning Approach (FSLA)

IITJEE is an exam that is totally based on problem solving. Mostly it is numerical based
questions. Because of this nature of IITJEE, students preparing for IITJEE exam should spend
most of their time in solving more and more problems.Its not only help you in cracking IITJEE
but also help in better understanding of subject.

Many students who are spending lot of time on problem solving but even though they are not
able to score in exam. behind this there are few reasons:-

This happens because while doing problem solving, they learn things but they do nothing
to retain them in their memory.
They dont remember ideas/tricks of many questions in exam which they should have
solved.

To learn/memorize, they need to put efforts and time as well as they should follow the correct
approach.

To retain and repeat, I recommend a Five Step learning Approach (FSLA) to you for doing
problem solving and it will definitely help you in many dimensions like improving your speed,
accuracy, problem solving ability and confidence in the topic.

Here are 5 steps of the approach.

STEP 1 Understanding

In this step

(a) First Attempt the problem. Try to first see the problem and dont directly jump to the
solution. Try at least 5-20 minutes and not spend more then 5 minutes, if you dont understand
question properly and 20 minutes maximum if you are getting ideas after that only you should
see the solution.

(b) Marking the difficulty levels. After seeing the solutions, you have to to decide the difficulty
level of the question and always mark these level in front of each question. There can be 4
levels.
Easy level : Problem is easy if you are able to solve it in less than 5 minutes.

Moderate level : Problem is moderate level if you are able to solve it by just seeing the solution
for less than 1 minute and get the idea.Or by trying hard and spend more time to solve it.

Difficult level : Problem is difficult if you are not able to do it yourself after spending lot of time
and you have also taken lots of time in understanding the solution But finally able to understand
solution very well.

Very-Difficult : Mark a problem a very-difficult if you are not able to understand the question
and its solution is also impossible to understand so not waste more time at this stage they are
useless and pull your confidence down.

Step 2 : Memorizing

In this step you have to solve question like that you are appearing for any test. The questions of
the test would be the average and difficult questions you marked in step 1. Just count how many
questions you marked average or difficult after counting you should give test of 90 question(it
can be collected from more than 1 chapters) at least and total time is 3 hours

You have to take test very seriously. Taking these tests will improve your following abilities.

Speed : As you have solve these questions earlier,so try to be little fast in solving these
questions.This will improve your speed to write fast.

Accuracy : Try to be accurate as much as possible. If you are doing mistakes in more than 10%
of the questions, focus on it and before you sit for the test try to make in your mind that today
you are not going to do any mistake. If you make it a target that you have to be perfect, after few
tests you will start seeing the results.

Concentration :While doing a test, you level of concentration is much higher. So these tests will
help you in improving your concentration on a regular basis. So when you are doing these tests,
make an environment that should resemble the environment you face at test center. Dont answer
phone, dont respond to door bell, dont get up for water and no music.

So give this test as mentioned above and this will help you in increasing speed,accuracy and also
help in study hanit of studying for long hours.

Step 3 : Strengthening

After finishing step 2 where you appeared for a test based on the selected questions, you need to
review your performance. If you could not solve most of the questions(not able to solve 60 to 70
out of 90 ), you need to repeat what you did in step 2 to strengthen your preparation. Do it after
a gap of 4-5 days. You can even change some ratings before you take the test like you can re-
mark some average questions as easy or difficult questions as average or average as difficult.
Step 4 :Building confidence

This is the fourth step where you revise all questions orally. This step should come after 4-8 days
of the strengthening step. Keep 30 second for each question to revise . So for 90 questions, you
can take 45 minutes.See each question and try to recall the trick/steps/concepts you applied to
solve that question. If you are not able to recall in 15 seconds, mark the question and go to next
question.Repeat this for all the questions. After all the questions are finished, refer solutions to
see the marked questions and try to learn their ideas.

You should be able to recall ideas of 90% of the problems. If it is less, you need to repeat this
step after few days.

After successfully recalling ideas needed to solve the question from your mind, feel like you are a
master/expert of the topic. Do it with interest and full concentration, the way you watch movie or
match.

Step 5 :Point to remember

You need to be regular and systematic to follow it. You also need a time table to plan these steps.
Without schedule, it is impossible to remember steps of various topics and subjects.

I am sure you can take benefit of FPA as it helps in proving the knowledge of the topic as well as
it prepares you for exams by improving your examination skills like speed, accuracy,
concentration, knowledge.

HOPE THIS WILL HELP YOU

THIS ALL THINGS IF YOU FOLLOW THEN YOU GOING TO GET RANK UNDER
1000 FOR SURE.......
Fiitjee or vmc

Having attended VMC Gurgaon and experienced the mad race for IITs, here's my opinion:

Goal: To understand science, delve deep into it and gain knowledge - not caring about where
you stand, nationally, in the IITJEE race.

Choice: Vidyamandir Classes.

Goal: Contrary to the one above - getting the best possible JEE rank according to your
standards and being more competitive exam oriented.

Choice: FIITJEE

Let me make a couple of statements in favour of both to give further perspective.

Pro-VMC: An attitude to solve problems, understand them before just jumping to the solution
and diligence are few of the qualities that VMC gives a student beyond IITJEE Prep and these
stay with you throughout your life.

Pro-FIITJEE: Despite supposedly poorer study material and not-so-good faculty, it still is one of
the best institutes consistently producing great JEE results. For those who were too rank-focused
at VMC, what FIITJEE wouldve been like was always a topic of discussion.

However, personally, I would recommend that you choose self-study.

If you can study on your own in a disciplined manner and maximise the teaching potential of the
internet and various books; then not attending a coaching institute would be the best possible
choice. Since, in both the aforementioned cases, it is you who will have to put in the effort and
not the coaching institutes.
Joining a test series could be a more economical and strategic method to make the most of a
coaching institute. I know people who would've passionately devoted time for IIT prep or
attended regular courses might feel offended but it's equally important to provide a neutral and
unbiased opinion.

"You need to go to a coaching institute to crack JEE Advanced/IITJEE" is the biggest lie ever.
And there are statistics to prove my statement!
The schedule is as follows:
You should attend the school on an average 2-3 days a week, where Saturday should be excluded
completely. Next, if ur vmc center and school is very near, then attend school on those days, when
evening classes are there at vmc, so save time of travel.
"Make sure to revise the class copy on the same day, on which class was held, even if u reach by 10 pm
at home."
You should ignore the school work and not be dedicated there.
Read the article beforehand that is going to be taught in the class, especially for physics.
On an average u should give 45-50 hours a week of self-study of vmc content and 0-6 hours for school.
Try to utilize ur travel time.
Note that attendance in school does not matter at all.

Updated Part:
I guess you might b having around 3-4 classes a week of about 4 hours. You may not have more than 2
classes a week on weekdays. So, if u have 2 classes from mon-fri, leave school that days and attend 2
days only with one more holiday for self-study. If u have only 1 class from mon-fri, leave school that day
and 1 more day for self-study and attend it 3 days. If u have 3 classes from mon-fri, leave school all these
3 days and a day more if u wish( like if test is coming).
The most important point:
"DON'T HESITATE TO TAKE LEAVE FROM SCHOOL, EVEN IF YOU HAVE PRACTICALS ON THAT DAY."
Many people say that one should not b absent on practical days. This is all nonsense even for class 12.
Practical exams( especially boards) is just a formality. Schools cannot detain u on the basis of attendance
%age, they just say so to maintain discipline and the school reputation. Although, try( not very hard) to
score good marks in school exams.

Another point, it is very sad that u don't study in delhi school. You should not have done so. delhi
students have very large quota(85%) which makes hell lot of difference in cutoffs for DTU, NSIT, USIT,
IIIT, IGDTUW, etc.

Just study, in class 11(school), to pass with decent marks( not topper) as 11 class syllabus does not come
in boards.
For class 12, focus on boards only in the very end, from december onwards and give almost full feb.-
march for it, again-almost, not full, and that also only if board marks are counted in mains( as decision is
yet pending), else study from jan 15 and that also -50-50 till march and u end up scoring >90%.
Note: If boards marks r counted, then there is a huge impact of them on the Mains rank. 95% is the
boundary line where an absurd change in seen. People with 94.8 and 95.2 with same mains marks will
differ a lot in their ranks as compared to 93 vs 94 or 95.6 vs 96.2
That's the game. Anyhow u should get >95% if board counts, even if u have to sacrifice 10 marks in
Mains for it.
