Great!
Now that you're in Class 12, your JEE prep becomes more intense
and focused. Here’s the ultimate list of tips, tricks, and strategies for
Class 12 JEE preparation — covering Physics, Chemistry, and Math,
time management, mock tests, and more.
🎯 Overall Strategy for Class 12 JEE Prep
✅ 1. Balance Class 11 & 12 Topics
50-50 Rule: Divide your time equally between Class 11 and 12
topics, especially in the first half of Class 12.
Many students make the mistake of focusing only on Class 12 and
forget that ~50% of JEE questions are from Class 11.
✅ 2. Stick to a Limited Set of Resources
Avoid hopping books or YouTube channels.
Stick to: 1 theory book + 1 problem book per subject.
✅ 3. Revise Smartly
Use weekly revision slots to go back to older chapters.
Solve PYQs (Previous Year Questions) for both Class 11 & 12
chapters as you complete them.
📘 Subject-Wise Tips & Tricks
🔹 PHYSICS
🔧 Tips:
Focus on concepts + application — understand the "why" behind
formulas.
Don’t skip derivations — they help you remember formulas.
Use dimensional analysis to verify answers.
📚 Key Topics in Class 12:
Electrostatics & Current Electricity – High weightage
Magnetism & EMI
AC & Modern Physics – Easy scoring
Optics – Needs strong visualization
Resources:
HC Verma, DC Pandey, PYQs, Allen/Resonance modules
🔹 CHEMISTRY
🧪 Physical Chemistry:
Focus on concepts + numericals.
Maintain a formula sheet.
Practice problems regularly (RC Mukherjee / N Awasthi).
📚 Inorganic Chemistry:
NCERT is everything.
Focus on block-wise trends, color reactions, and exceptions.
Make mind maps or flashcards.
🔬 Organic Chemistry:
Learn reaction mechanisms (don’t memorize blindly).
Practice reaction conversions, named reactions, and general
mechanisms.
Use MS Chauhan or Himanshu Pandey for questions.
🧠 Bonus Trick:
Create a reaction chart — it helps with synthesis and conversions.
🔹 MATHS
✍️Tips:
Practice daily. It’s the only way to improve speed & accuracy.
Focus on time-bound problem solving.
Don’t ignore graphs, domain-range, and calculus tricks.
📚 Important Class 12 Topics:
Calculus (Differentiation, Integration, AOD)
Vectors & 3D Geometry
Probability & Matrices
Relations & Functions, Determinants
📘 Practice Books:
Arihant, Cengage, or TMH
Solving PYQs is a must for mastering JEE pattern.
Tips, Tricks & Smart Hacks
📅 Time Management
Follow a 3-part schedule:
Theory ➤ Practice ➤ Revise
Plan daily + weekly + monthly goals.
Use a planner or app (Notion, TickTick, Google Calendar).
🧠 Memory Hacks
Use mnemonics for organic chemistry series or periodic trends.
Spaced repetition (Anki flashcards) for retention.
Keep a “Cheat Sheet Notebook” with formulas, mechanisms, and
key facts.
🧪 Practice Strategy
Solve 70% conceptual + 30% tough problems.
After every test, analyze:
o Where you went wrong
o Silly mistakes
o Weak chapters
Maintain an Error Log — revise it weekly.
📊 MOCK TESTS & PYQs
🎯 When to Start Full Syllabus Tests?
After August or when 80% of Class 12 syllabus is done.
Begin with Chapter-wise + Unit-wise tests.
Take 1 full mock test every 10–14 days, increasing frequency
near JEE.
🔁 Revision Strategy:
Revise 1 old + 1 current chapter every week.
Stick to NCERT for Chemistry — revise each line of it.
😌 Health & Focus
Sleep 7–8 hours. All-nighters hurt performance.
Exercise or walk 15–30 minutes daily.
Stay off social media distractions.
Use Pomodoro method: 25 min focus + 5 min break.
🔥 Final Tips
1. PYQs > Any Question Bank
2. Don’t ignore NCERT for Chemistry, especially Inorganic and
Organic.
3. Join a Test Series (Allen, Resonance, FIITJEE, NTA Abhyas).
4. Practice filling OMR sheets with tests.
5. Keep a positive mindset — stress kills performance.
