How To Study For IIT JAM Physics 2024? [Tips and Study Plan]

 

You know you can achieve anything if the efforts made are highly dedicated and well planned.

Rather than wasting your time in getting worried and planning up worthless strategies, play smart and follow a sure-shot approach.

Below, we are sharing the IIT JAM Physics Preparation Tips & strategies to help you out in preparing for the exam.

 

Get good JAM Physics Books and notes that cover the complete syllabus and information regarding the topics. You can get the expert-curated IIT JAM Physics study Material from Eduncle.

Mark the Important Topics on its content page and start taking them one by one.

Read the theory with concentration and think conceptually while understanding its meaning. If you don’t get the point for the first time, repeat the reading process to understand it. You can also go through the IIT JAM Physics lectures to understand in a better way.

Master the basic concepts of physics because the whole IIT JAM Physics is based on some fixed mantras. If you have knowledge of these basic concepts, then you can solve any question and reach out the correct conclusion.

Strengthen your mathematical skills - Physics questions require a great understanding of Mathematics and its terms. For eg, if you need to derive an equation then you must have enough knowledge of Physics and Mathematical Calculations.

Focus on simplifying poblems rather than making them more complicated. Try to simplify the problem as much as you can, soon you will get the correct result.

Solve at least 10-20 Physics questions daily. It will boost up your speed and fasten your thinking abilities.

Prepare short notes from the IIT JAM Physics Books, and learn through diagrams and flowcharts. These notes are very helpful at the time of quick learning and revision.

Video lectures & visual study techniques are great tools promoting conceptual learning. 

Ask experts for help - It’s always better to ask your problems rather than wasting your efforts in trying to solve them and getting no answer.

 

Hope the above tips will help you in achieving the best scores. You need to follow all the simple steps mentioned above and you will see an increased level of confidence in you.
