JEE (Advanced) - A Bird’s Eye View

Distribution of the no. of Questions in JEE (Advanced) 

As far as the strategy of preparation is concerned, the most important aspect to understand is the distribution of the number of questions from class XI & XII. The trend of last few years questions show that the ratio of questions from XI & XII is almost 60:40 respectively. More than anything else, the important aspect of the overall preparation is to be strategic. You need to pay more attention on class XI syllabus compared to class XII syllabus because 60% of questions are from XI syllabus. As your board exam has just finished, the syllabus of XII would almost be in mind but XI syllabus needs thorough revision.

Analyzing Physics, we find that the questions in Modern Physics are usually easier and scoring, which can be covered in short time. A similarity can be drawn between Concepts of Electrostatics and Gravitation which will actually prove time saver while revising.

In Chemistry, as mentioned earlier Physical Chemistry is scoring and easier if practiced well. Questions from Solutions, Chemical Kinetics and Atomic Structure are usually direct and scoring.

In Mathematics, Coordinate Geometry from XI needs proper attention at this time as it could actually come out as score differentiator. Make a table of results of Circle and Conic Section as the same concepts are applied repeatedly in all parts, but with different results.
