Hello... My son preparing for jee 2025. Till 10th standard he did not have any coaching. But he is very hard working. Although he is working hard he is not able to score above 200 out of 300 in weekend exams in college. For ex: Sometimes he gets 187/300 but sometimes 118/300. I dont want to pressurize hime for marks but guide hime so that he can do better. Plz suggest me as exam is in jan 2025.

Ans: Soujanya Madam, You have NOT mentioned which coaching center he has joined? Integrated or weekday or weekend classes? Which Board (State or CBSE) he belongs to?

However, please note,

(1) It is not necessary that he should have joined for Coaching in 10th or before.
(2) To improve his score:

(a) You should first identify his favourite & weak subjects.
(b) He should study weak subjects whenever he feels fresh, preferably early morning
(c) After he attempts the Weekend Exams/Chapter Tests etc., he should focus more on Wrongly Answered Questions, dropped/NOT attempted/skipped Questions and should have a separate note-book for each subject (PCM) for those questions.
(d) Revising them time and again is also more important
(e) He should prepare his OWN short-notes/list formulae/mind-map etc. and should keep revising them also.
(f) Once a chapter is taught in School or Coaching Center, he should try to complete the same on same day or at least in 1 day or two. Else, he will forget everything after 3-days.
(g) Whenever he has doubts only any particular topic/concept, he should get it clarified from his School Teacher/Coaching Center Faculty or from Internet. He should not postpone it.
(h) Having a flexible Study Schedule will further help.

For more practical steps/strategies/tips, please scroll down and read 2-3 answers related to JEE preparation.

All the BEST for Your Son's Bright Future.

Sir my son is in eleventh class he scored 96 percent in boards he wants to prepare for JEE but he do not want to take any coaching he wants to do self study ....i want to know is he right ..or what will i do .
Ans: Lengthy answer (applicable to All Self-studying Students for JEE/NEET/Other Entrance Exams). Please DON'T force him to join any Coaching Center as he prefers Self-Study. However, here are some questions he should ask himself & strategies he should definitely follow: (1) Does he have the syllabus of JEE of 2024 in hand to always refer (as syllabus hardly changes every year or changes minutely)? (2) What all sources he has / will have for his self-study? NCERT Books? Watching YouTube Videos for each Chapter? Does he know the important Reference Books for each Subject - PCM like HC VERMA for Physics? (3) Does he prepare his own short-notes? (4) How may hours he studies every day & how smartly he studies (not hardly)? Has he planned how he can manage both school syllabus & JEE preparation? (5) How he will come to know how he has prepared, in which concepts / topics / chapters he is weak and what improvements needed? (6) How is practicing questions and from where? (7) Has he at least joined DLP (Distance Learning Program) with any Coaching Center to get their study materials & self-study? These are some illustrative examples of questions he should ask himself. Now COMING to important strategies he should definitely follow (1) It is highly advisable (if not joining any coaching center) to join at least DLP with Allen / AhaGuru or online classes. (2) To give more importance to Maths, as JEE Rank is allotted on the basis of Scores in Maths first, followed by Physics & Chemistry. (3) Should prepare his own short-notes and revise regularly. (4) Keep on practising Online Test Series Chapter-wise / Unit-wise and note down the wrongly answered questions for reference later. (5) Instead of easy questions, should always try to attempt very difficult / complicated / tough / lengthy questions as these type of questions will disturb him a lot during his actual JEE Exam. (6) MOST IMPORTANT: To attempt All India Test Series of any top Coaching Center's Online Test Series to know where he stands among 1000s or lac of students and where he has to move? (7) Should be thorough with basic concepts (beginning from NCERT Books) of all Chapters of PCM. Again, these are just some illustrative important strategies he should follow.

All the BEST for your Son's Bright Future.
