Avanti IIT JEE Mains Online Test Series

In the last few months of your IIT-JEE preparation so probably starting from the month of December (assuming that you have completed your portion and done revising once), you can start taking mock tests. You can think of giving a mock test once a week in the month of December, January and February and then increase the frequency to twice a week, it completely depends on you.
Now, after you give the mock you will have to analyse it thoroughly. You could take help of the question “How can an IIT-JEE Test Series help to improve my score?” to understand how analysis of a mock test can be done.
After analysis you would realise that there would be certain areas which require improvement. Say, there is a conceptual gap or that particular area requires more practise. Once you identify these areas, note them done. Make a schedule so that you could cover these topics which you identified.
You could devote certain amount of time (3-4 hours) for these topics. And the time left could be utilised for revision of the syllabus, for which you could make one more time table depending upon the topics you wish to revise.

Some reputed institutes do have the initial one mock free. You could access that mock. Avanti provides a free online mock. You could appear for that mock and decide whether you wish to buy the complete package, which is quite cheap compared to other test series. Avanti Test series is designed by our experts and we have questions which are well within the syllabus. After a test you’re given a diagnostic report for a better understanding of your weakness.
You can visit our website for more information.
Although there would be certain institutes provides a range of free mocks but the quality of these mock tests are below par, so it is advised that you buy a package of mock test rather than appearing for free online tests.

Since it is a time based exam your calculation speed and accuracy of the calculations will play a very important role. To do faster calculations you could do the following:
1) Learn tables (at least 1 to 30).

2) Learn squares (1 to 30) and cubes (1 to 15)

3) Learn percentages (1 to 15) and reciprocals (1 to 15)

4) Learn log values (1 to 10)

Also, there are multiple free Vedic Maths tutorials available online which could help you increase your calculation speed.

It shouldn’t be the case that when you realise that time is money; it has slipped out of your hand. With distractions appearing at every blink of an eye, you should become oblivious to them. Facebook, Whatsapp or other social media handles can have a negative impact on your preparation. So, keep them away for the time being. Though some groups on Facebook or Google+ can be helpful keeping in mind your preparation, you should restrict yourselves to them. Also, friends can be a distraction so be wise in choosing your friends for these 2 years of preparation.

Two years is a really long time and so it is important for you to keep yourselves motivated throughout this period. There are a few points we would like to share:

1. 1. Firstly, don’t let your focus waver. Don’t forget your ultimate goal.
   2. You have to have self belief. Remember the one who wins is the one who thinks he can. Don’t think twice before setting high targets for yourself.
   3. Learn to ignore others, what they are doing. Prepare the way that suits you the best. You know yourself the best.
   4. Understand that a competitive test not only tests your knowledge but also your psychology, your ability to sustain. Find out your risk appetite, mental stamina, topics of interest and effective ways of motivation. Learn to predict your mood in short and long terms and then plan accordingly. These small things have a big impact.
   5. Have the right people in your life. Make sure your parents/siblings share your dream and stay away from the people who say you cannot do it.
   6. Enjoy the journey! Nobody excels at what they are punished or forced to do.

By the final month you would be aware of your strengths and weaknesses. So, you are advised to focus on your strengths and polish them as much as you can. Avoid as far as possible the topics that you find difficult or rather your weaknesses.
Give mocks analyse your performance in the same. Understand your psychology better, the way you react to a mock, to a question and accordingly devise a strategy that best suits you.
Don’t get bogged down by the pressure, remember that are lakhs of students preparing along with you and a few thousands would make it to those dream institutes and you want to be one of them so work hard for the last stride.

Since everyone appearing for an exam is different, generally we do not have a best way to go about it. A best way for one might not be the best way for the other. So, when you prepare for an exam, you should understand which topics you are comfortable with and which topics you find difficult. As time passes, you try to identify your weaknesses and polish them, simultaneously hone your strengths.

Hard work and a hunger to get into the best Engineering institutes of the country is the only key to success at IIT-JEE.
