Problem Solving Strategies

@satan29 idk hindi lol

math phy were super easy

probably the easiest year since NTA took over

people said chem was direct from ncert

@RishiNandhaVanchi oh oops

@RishiNandhaVanchi thats actually.....unlucky

@napstablook idk how much of it is direct repeat

but all of them were familiar question types

@satan29 true

everyone's gonna get more

easy papers dont even leave the slightest room for error in comp. exams

@RishiNandhaVanchi yeah

I suffered cos of this in Jan attempt

@satan29 that is one of my biggest fears, silly mistakes are my downfall..

most people (including me) have that fear. Just hope for a tough paper incase you are well prepared

I just loose about 40 marks in almost every jee main paper to sillies. Paper this year is easy from what I have seen.

tomorrow I have to face the judgement day(tm). Wish me luck I'd better get back to revising.

All the best!!! just dont panic. I feel panic is the leading cause of all JEEM mistakes.

@JohnRennie I have a classical mechanics problem, do you have a few minutes?

John Rennie

@psa you can post it, but I'm answering a long question in another room I'm afraid.

@JohnRennie OK, take your time, I'll post it anyway

I think I can do this problem with the Lagrangian, but I can't do it that way, I need to use conservation of momentum + energy.

apparently day 2 got a super hard paper

or atleast thats what my friend says

@napstablook may not work for you

but this is what I did

everytime ill lose out on a 90+ score getting around 70+ in math and phy because of sillies

I started reading paper before answering

it stimulates something similar to you reading the paper after the three hours is over and realy "oh shit I made a silly there" but during the exam, so you can avoid that silly

but again might not work for everybody

I read mains paper for the first 30minutes (not exaggerating)

and then started solving

@napstablook exactly my case before I starting reading paper before solving

*realizing not realy

o wait another friend says it was very easy

@RishiNandhaVanchi that's an interesting approach (I myself have never heard of this). did you get a lot of changes upon doing a readthrough? how thoroughly did you read?

I read enough to arrange info given in my brain

and sketch solution if they are straight forward

i only read sections I make lots of sillies

i read phy part I, math part I, phy part II

and then start solving sections I havent read after the 30 minutes of reading

it works for me, i did the same with kvpy

from losing 40 marks with sillies alone, it gets better to about sillies in only 1 or 2 problems

buts the reading part shouldnt be rushed

you shouldnt aim to read all the 3 sections in 30 minutes

defeats the purpose

read as much as you can, but properly

that makes sense, also I end up making most sillies in physics

my physics part used to be literally full of sillies

how much do you expect to get?

@RishiNandhaVanchi that is not an issue, NTA has decided to sort of equalize on basis of hardness of paper for each shift

but they are real secret-y about it

aah right

@napstablook im not sure this time actually

9:06 AM

I still don't understand how they get around to combining 4 different sessions though..

@RishiNandhaVanchi can we move this discussion to another chatroom? I have uite a few ns to ask

sure

because from what I remember I did I should be expecting 230ish but seems like way more than what I can expect

I only aimed for 200 so uh... most probably not gonna get 230ish

how to see chat invites

nvm got it

wait a sec

I already made a room
