JEE 2025: Son Scores Inconsistently. How to Help Him Improve?

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.

Ans: Hello Dhivya Ji
You need to find out whether he understands Physics well or not. If his understanding is okay, then there is problem with comprehension.
After every test, sit with the physics paper. Identify:
Conceptual mistake
Calculation mistake
Time management issue

Chemistry – Maintain & Sharpen
If Chemistry is “ok,” keep it that way and aim to improve without overburdening him.
Focus more on NCERT-based revision, especially for Inorganic and Organic.



Some Thoughts for You as a Parent
Pressure vs Support: Try to avoid language that sounds like pressure (“You must score more in physics”). Instead, go with encouragement like “I know you can do it, let’s find what’s stopping you.”

Stress Breaks Are Vital: Encourage short breaks with music, a walk, or a favorite hobby.

Talk About the Bigger Picture: Remind him that this is not the only shot at success. Many paths lead to great futures. Take the pressure off and he'll naturally perform better.
