15 Tips to Cheat at MCQs in IIT JEE: Guessing Your Way to the IITs
As we know, JEE is the toughest entrance test in India. But how many of you know the tricks to mark correct answers for MCQs in JEE Main and JEE Advanced? I know a few.
In JEE, all questions are objective. The Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) has four answers, out of which sometimes only one and at times two options are correct. Students need to circle the correct option for every question and earn marks.
It is usually seen that candidates consider objective questions easy as compared to subjective. Despite the widespread liking towards MCQs and IIT JEE paper pattern, multiple choice questions could be difficult to tackle. At times, the choices may appear similar and therefore you might get confused. In order to answer the questions correctly, students need to have a deeper insight of every topic in the syllabus. Students can use the below-mentioned tricks for both online and offline exams:
Be Calm Candidates should make sure they are stress-free and calm before writing IIT JEE test. Since due to the tension you may lose concentration and might mark a wrong answer. Understand the question Identify the important part of the question and apply your logic. Understand what the question is before marking the answer. Tick the answer only when you are sure. Choosing correct answer is really important since every wrong answer might result in a deduction of marks (due to negative marking in the exam).
Example: From a tower of height H, a particle is thrown vertically upwards with a speed u, then the time taken by the particle to hit the ground, is ‘n’ times taken by it to reach the highest point of its path. (IIT-JEE Mains 2014)
(a) 2gH=n2u2 (b) gH = (n-2)2u2
(c) 2gH =nu2(n-2) (d) gH = (n-2)u2
Immediately, identify the topic and apply concept related to it (Projectile motion in this case). Make the diagrams for better understanding to make sure you land up to the right answer choice.
