Q. Arvind, how you used to relax you after continuous study for long periods?
”Walking around in fresh air…..”
Q. What were the things you used to keep in mind before taking any exam?
I used to formulate a strategy of order of solving problems - What level of hardness of problems I should start with and how to schedule them. Also an attempt to analyse all previous exam papers and keep track of silly mistakes one is likely to commit…
Q. What mistakes you commited during your prepartion?
A.
1. Related to course : During earlier stages of prepartion, I tried to flood myself with lot of problems from lots of sources without even having my basic concepts clear.Clarity of concepts is absolutely important before solving problems.
2. Related to exams: Must go into exams after proper rest.
3. Related to revision: Trying to cover a lot of new material & ignoring those done long time ago.
Q. What is your view regarding revision… By what time students should be able to finish their prepartion and should start revision ?
A. I think revision is best done by taking a mix of new or untried( by self) problems from all topics of a subject and working them in timed exam like condition. In my opinion there need not be any hurry for starting revision, whenever started, the entire subject should have been completed.
Q. How many hours you think one should devote daily for prepartion ?
A. I won’t like to suggest number of daily hours of study -as long as one is gaining enough confidence in solving problems.
Q. What was your idea about IIT before entering and what is your idea about it now ?
A. There is too much of hype surrounding IIT and IITians , in my case, all after all are human beings.
Q. When exactly you had started your prepartion ?
A. Soon after my class X examinations.
Q. Any thing you want to share from yourside that you think would be helpful for students preparing for IIT ?
A. Before jumping to problems ,pay full emphasis on concepts. Emphasis must be given to mock examinations to develop proper paper tackling approach.
Q. Which books you consider are must for prepartion ?
A.
1. Mathematics
a. S L Loney -trignometry & coordinate geometry
b. TMH- IIT Mathematics(esp algebra)
c. M L Khanna -IIT Mathematics
2. Physics

SAT INFORMATION
Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) administered by College Board,
The College Board: The College Board at
Meaning of SAT
Originally, SAT was an abbreviation for the Scholastic Aptitude Test. In 1993, the test was renamed the SAT I: Reasoning Test. At the same time, the former Achievement Tests were renamed the SAT II: Subject Tests. In 2004, the numerals "I" and "II" were dropped and the tests are now named the SAT Reasoning Test (or just SAT) and SAT Subject Tests. SAT is a simple and recognizable way of referring to the SAT Reasoning Test.
GRE General Test Overview
Prospective graduate applicants take the Subject Tests. GRE test scores are used by admissions or fellowship panels to supplement undergraduate records and other qualifications for graduate study.
The scores provide common measures for comparing the qualifications of applicants and aid in the evaluation of grades and recommendations. Some Subject Tests yield subscores that can indicate the strengths and weaknesses of individual students' preparation and may be useful for guidance and placement purposes.

Difference between the SAT- Reasoning and SAT-Subject Tests
Most colleges require the SAT – Reasoning Test for admission and many other schools require both the SAT – Reasoning Test and SAT – Subject Test for admission purposes or placement. Additionally, some colleges require specific Subject Test tests while others allow you to choose which tests you take. It's best to check directly with the school.
SAT Reasoning Test
The SAT Reasoning Test is a measure of the critical thinking skills you'll need for academic success in college. The SAT assesses how well you analyze and solve problems—skills you learned in school that you'll need in college. The SAT is typically taken by high school juniors and seniors. Each section of the SAT is scored on a scale of 200—800, with two writing subscores for multiple-choice and the essay. It is administered seven times a year in the
Why one should SAT-Reasong Test: You may have to take the test because it is an admission requirement of the college you are interested in attending. Many colleges require the SAT I for admission because it is a standard way of measuring a student's ability to do college-level work. Because courses and grading standards vary widely from school to school, scores on standardized tests, like the SAT I, help colleges compare your academic achievements with those of students from different schools. Colleges look at other things when making admission decisions -- like your high school record, essays, recommendations, interviews, and extracurricular activities. Your SAT I test score is just one of many tools that help colleges make admission decisions.
The Unscored Section-In addition, there is one 25-minute unscored section, known as the variable or equating section. This unscored section may be either a critical reading, mathematics, or writing multiple-choice section. This unscored section does not count toward the final score, but is used to try out new questions for future editions of the SAT and to ensure that scores on new editions of the SAT are comparable to scores on earlier editions of the test.
Test Order-The 25-minute essay will always be the first section of the SAT, and the 10-minute multiple-choice writing section will always be the final section. The remaining six 25-minute sections can appear in any order, as can the two 20-minute sections. Test takers sitting next to each other in the same testing session may have test books with entirely different sections.
Each edition of the SAT Reasoning Test include a Critical Reading, Math and Writing section as follows:
The Critical
- Content: Critical reading and sentence-level reading
- Item Types: Reading comprehension, sentence completions, and paragraph-length critical reading
- Time:70 min. (two 25-min. sections and one 20-min. section)
- Score: 200-800
Mathematics Section includes:
- Content: Number and operations; algebra and functions; geometry; statistics, probability, and data analysis
- Item Types: Five-choice multiple-choice questions and student-produced responses
- Time: 70 min. (two 25-min. sections and one 20-min. section)
- Score: 200-800
Writing Section includes:
- Content: Grammar, usage, and word choice
- Item Types: Multiple choice questions (35 min.) and student-written essay (25 min.)
- Time: 60 min.
- Score: 200-800
SAT- Subject Test
It is one-hour, primarily multiple-choice tests in specific subjects. The Subject Tests measure knowledge or skills in a particular subject and your ability to apply that knowledge. Many colleges require or recommend one or more of the Subject Tests for admission or placement. The Subject Tests are one-hour, primarily multiple-choice tests in specific subjects. Subject Tests measure knowledge or skills in a particular subject and your ability to apply that knowledge.
The 22 Subject Tests included in SAT- Subject Test are as follows:
- Writing
- Literature
- U.S.History
- World History
- Biology E/M
- Chemistry
- Physics
- Math Level IC,
- Math Level IIC
- French
- French with Listening
- German
- German with Listening
- Spanish
- Spanish with Listening
- Modern Hebrew
- Italian
- Latin
- Japanese with Listening
- korean with Listening
- Chinese with Listening
- English Language Proficiency Test
Number of Attempts:You can take the test as many times as you want. Your score report shows your current test score, in addition to scores for up to six SAT I and six Subject Test administrations. The total testing time for the SAT I is 3 hours and 45 minutes.
Commencement of SAT
SAT is held 6 times in a year: May, June, October, November, December and January
SAT Score report includes:SAT Reasoning Test- SAT scores are reported on a scale from 200 to 800, with additional subscores reported for the essay (ranging from 2-12) and for multiple-choice writing questions (on a 20-to-80 scale). Your scores tell college admission staff how you did compared with other students who took the test. For example, if you scored close to the mean or average-about 500 on SAT critical reading and 500 on SAT math-admission staff would know that you scored as well as about half of the students who took the test.
SAT Subject Tests- Subject Test scores are reported on a scale from 200 to 800, Subject Test subscores are reported on a scale from 20 to 80.
Eligibility:SAT (SAT Reasoning Test or SAT subjects Test or both) is typically taken by high school juniors and seniors. Indian students who have completed their 12 years of school education successfully from any recognised Indian board or university can take SAT for admission in the different streams available in to various American colleges.
There is no criteria of minimum marks etc. for appearing in the SAT Reasoning Test or SAT Subject Tests, but several colleges need a good SAT score along with a good academic record. Besides that college conducts their own tests, like Essay Writing, Personality Test etc and also asks for Curriculum Vitae and recommendations from teacher etc. A nicely written CV (Curriculum Vitae) so that it reflects brilliantly about the aspirant may be of great help. Some colleges specify the Subject Tests they require for admission or placement; others allow applicants to choose which tests to take.

Rules observed during the Test
SAT Reasoning Test- You will get a short break at the end of each hour of testing time. You must work within each section of the SAT only for the time allotted. You are not permitted to go back to a section once that section has ended. Nor are you permitted to start the next section if you finish a section early. The testing supervisor will guide you through the testing process and provide all the necessary instructions.
SAT Subject TestsEach Subject Test is about one hour long. If you are only taking one or two Subject Tests, you may leave the test center after your final test is finished.
You may work on only one test during each testing hour. You will get a short break at the end of each hour of testing time. You can take up to three Subject Tests on one test date.
You can change your mind on test day about which Subject Test you want to take. You may substitute a Subject Test (other than a listening test), or add Subject Tests (other than a listening test) on test day.
The testing supervisor will guide you through the testing process and provide all the necessary instructions.
Standby Testing- If you miss the late registration deadline, there's still a chance you can sometimes take the SAT as a standby. Test centers accept standbys on a first-come, first-serve basis only if they have enough space, testing materials, and staff-so there is no guarantee that you'll be admitted to the test.
How to prepare for SAT
SAT Subject Tests scores can help you demonstrate your achievements. Many colleges that do not require Subject Tests will look at your Subject Tests scores to learn more about your academic background.
The Subject Tests Preparation Center of College Board, NY gives you tips and strategies , talks about specific SAT Subject Tests, and gives you other information about what you need to know to take an SAT Subject Test.

IMPORTANT TIPS IIT-2011 ASPIRANTS
This article is especially for those who have just passed their 11th class and are entering 12th Std.
If you still didn’t start your preparations for IIT JEE 2011 then better buck up. I understand that IIT JEE requires lots of planning, dedication, blah , blah ….. So I thought to make your work easier by posting you all the possible answers to your questions.
Before Reading, Take an Oath :
I, an IIT JEE Aspirant, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully plan and execute my study plan, and will to the best of my ability try Not to Procrastinate and Not to Waste Time anymore. So help me God…
Ok so you done with the oath right? Anyways I hope you keep your word.
So let’s begin. I will try to solve all the possible queries of an IIT JEE 2011 student.
1) Before Starting, Be Prepared…
Yes, enough of postponing things now. Now Only 1 year left for IIT JEE 2011. I guess those who starting JEE preparation now must have come to know by now that how procrastination proved to be a disaster.
For those who sincerely prepared for JEE throughout 11th STD, for them it will be less work as compared to those who will be starting now.
PLEASE NOTE…both of them have an equal chance to crack JEE with a good rank.
The difference here is that Those who started early can study less no of hours while those who have started late (now) will have to buck up and try to study more no of hours IF YOU WANT TO GET A TOP RANK….after all the article aims to help you score a Top rank in IIT JEE
2) Ok, Now How Many Hours Should I study, do I have to burn my Ass for Long hours..?
Nopes, not at all. You don’t have to study for 10 hours. Even if you consistently study 7 hours a day it’s definitely possible to achieve the impossible.
Or if you are aiming for AIR 1 in IIT JEE then you need to be different. Ofcourse you have to be different. For that you need to study for long hours daily WITH FULL CONCENTRATION.
Suppose you study 5 hours a day, It’s perfectly fine. BUT PLEASE FULLY concentrate for those 5 hours. Believe in Quality Study not Quantity…
3) My Next Obvious question is that “Which Books should I go for” ?
I knew you would ask that question and you know what I am prepared with an answer!!!
Physics:
NCERT 11th and 12th
HC Verma
Arihant
Chemistry:
NCERT 11th and 12th (Damn Necessary)
Physical- P Bahadur
Organic -Arihant
Inorganic - P.Bahadur/OP Tandon ( INSTEAD OF ALL 3 BOOKS YOU CAN ALSO STUDY THE SAME FROM ARIHANT FOR PHYSICAL,INORGANIC,ORGANIC)
Coaching Institute Material (If you have not joined any coaching then follow the other books mentioned apart from this)
Maths:
ML Khanna or RD Sharma
Coaching maths questions
Arihant series in Maths
If time permits TMH Mathematics
DISCLAIMER: Please don’t overload yourself with tons of book. Actually these many books are sufficient for JEE
After completing the list of the books above, you can go for hardcore problem solving from other specially recommended JEE books….
Please NOTE : If you’re not comfortable with the book mentioned, no problem. You can stick to the book of your choice but make sure that the book is a good one otherwise you will end up wasting a lot of your precious time
If you have any suggestions about the books then feel free to post the same in the comment box below.
4) Coaching Institutes, Should I go for it. If yes then which one?
There’s no hard and fast rule that YOU HAVE TO JOIN COACHING….nopes it’s all MYTH. IIT JEE can be cracked even without coaching but for that you will have to work really hard.
I won’t be advertising any coaching institute here. But my advice is “ Go for the BEST”. Even if you join coaching try not to deviate yourself from your studies and consistently focus in the class and revise the same at home or hostel.
5) Managing Class 12th Board and IIT JEE preparation!
Yeah it can get really rough if you don’t plan well. So always plan in advance and a plan is of no use if not executed well!!
So here is a small tip on how to manage both the headaches!
Study every day, ofcourse even on Sundays and Bank Holidays…Fix a time for IIT JEE preparations and some 1 or 2 hours daily for 12th board stuff. In this way you are prepared for both at the same time.
Important Note: Please for God’s Sake…Don’t neglect your Board Exam…Believe it or Not My friend Cracked JEE ….that’s a good News right? But here is the BAD news. He didn’t get more than 60 % in boards!
Yeah it happens to some freaks when they are overconfident. But I hope you don’t repeat the same. Never Neglect the Board Exams….Better write this in BOLD and stick it on your wall…just in case you forget.
6) Work Hard Like a Slave:
Yes you have to work hard no matter what. That’s the Truth. If you have never tried working hard then please try to work now and the best thing about hardwork is the pleasure and happiness you gain if your hardwork is rewarded… Just try it….there’s no harm in trying
You need to sacrifice a lot so better be prepared. I am concluding this article with my line…
Kabhi kabhi kuch jeetne ke liye kuch harna bhi padta hai. Aur har kar jeetne walon ko Baazigar kehte hain, kya kehte hain? Baazigar.
In English: Sometimes, Sometimes… to win something, one has to lose few things. And the losers who win after losing are called Winners… WHAT?? WINNERS
Cheers and Best of Luck to all the Baazigar’s

Starting Preparation For IIT JEE
Starting Preparation For IIT JEE
The best time to start preparation is at the beginning of 11th class. Students are fresh after the break after boards and a lot more can be learnt. Students who start late often end up leaving some key topics of 11th class JEE syllabus. Also, if you start your preparation in 12th class then the amount of hard work is increased manifold due to additional pressure of 12th boards, so chances of getting a high rank in JEE are decreased. There is a big transition from the mugging up study of 10th class to more understanding based study of 11th class. So you shouldn't get bogged down by seeing the level of complexity in JEE exam.
The first two or three months should be spent in revising your basic concepts (topics like algebra, mecanics) which had been taught in 9th class. Concepts in topics like algebra, mechanics and stoichiometry should be studied in great detail as they also form the basis for other topics and are very scoring. There should be no doubt in your mind about these concepts. For these, develop the habit of inquisition. Clear all your doubts so that mentally you feel confident tackling any concept. A key in this area is problem-solving. Regular problem solving not only strengthens the concepts, but also increases your mental sharpness which is must for JEE.Initially problems of low level should be tried and only when you have mastered them, you should go on to solving intricate JEE type problems. You should have systematic plan for the preparation of JEE. Regular hours should be allotted to mastering concepts and problem-solving. It is not necessary to memorise the lessons and formulae. Understand the derivations of formulae and apply the formulae to solving problems. Slowly these formulae will settle down in your brain and you will be able to recall them under any situation. What is required is a clear understanding and an easy familiarity with the concepts and laws. Maximum attention should be paid to solving problems.Try to be analytical rather than being intutive. Remember that hardwork pays! You should first take up a problem and try to solve it yourself. You should understand what is given and what is required, recall what principles, laws, equations are involved. Don't hurry to see the solution as I doesn't help you to learn. Only when you've pondered over it over a long time and unable to see any light, should you see the solutions. You would be insulting yourself and seriously hurting your chances of success if you skip these problems or make half-hearted attempts in solving them. An other very important aspect of your JEE preparation will be the coaching institute, whose importance and selection procedure will be delved into in the next section.
