As written in quote above ‘‘the size of UR success is connected with

the size of self-belief U have’’. All of us know that every success has a
concrete plan in its base, so it is essential to develop an action plan,
which have the ability to convert goals into reality. An action plan in real Step 2
sense defines the exact pathway of our motion in order to accomplish
our mission. In my opinion true self-belief is one of the foundation
stones of planning.
For a real student of science development of action plan should not be a
tough job. As the circumstances, capacities and needs vary from person
to person hence such an action plan which completely fits into
someone’s need is very difficult to design. However, here we will discuss
the methodologies to develop a generalised plan, which is flexi enough
to be customised according to your needs.

From this splitting it is very clear that the real learning phase is squeezed to
8 months (i.e. 240 days) from roughly estimated 330 days. This simply
Step 1 indicates that the rough estimate of 7 days per chapter now becomes 240/48 = 5
days per chapter. Now, for actual calculation we have to remove atleast 30 days
from the scheduled time of learning phase in lieu of festivals or other kind of
holidays during which it is very difficult to study with proper strength. So,
 FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK FOR CLASS 12TH PASSED STUDENTS
For a normal class 12th student the schedule remains more or less the
practically, we have approximately 7 months or 210 days in a year to same as written above. However, this time distribution requires major
complete JEE syllabus atleast once that means we have only about 4 days changes for a class 12th pass student. For them the problem lies in the
(210/48) per chapter to the max. fact that they have to cover up almost double the syllabus within the
same stipulated time. The tentative time distribution for a class 12th
pass student is as follows
· Start date Either last week of June or first week of July.
Step 3
Finish date
(i) For learning phase — By the end of January or mid February
(Max).
(ii) For consolidation phase — By the 3rd week of March (Max).
(iii) Period for rapid review — Last week of March + Days of April

results.

For Class 12th students Board Exams

takes place in the Month of March
After the Boards till JEE Mains rapid review is required with
more emphasis on class 11th syllabus as compared to class
12th syllabus.

2. For stoichiometric calculations develop your own shot cuts, and it is also
suggestive to use approximation technique in calculations to save time.
Atomic structure has overlapping with the Modern physics portion of

MENTORS ADVICE
1. Sets is important from board point of view. Venn diagram is very
helpful in solving practical problems based on Sets, in addition, this
portion of syllabus is very helpful in understanding the concept of
probability. In JEE usually 1 question is asked from Composition of
Functions and Binary Operations.
2. Inverse Tri gonometric and Hyperbolic Functions are very
important for JEE specially graph of Tr igonometric and Inver se
Trigonometric Functions for solving questions in very short span of
time.
3. Radii of inscribed and circumscribed circles along with height and
Distance are important specially for finding incenter and excenter of
incircle and Escribed circle and in finding the height of tower or
building in different situations.
4. Limits, Continuity and Differentiability are important for JEE as
generally 1 question is asked every year, however, this portion of
syllabus serves as the basic need to grip the differential calculus.
5. Mean Value theorems are important and have wide application
such as in finding the roots of a polynomial within the given interval.
6. Maxima-Minima along with Tangents and Normals are important
from board as well as JEE point of view. Aspirants are advised to focus
on these topics.
