Following is the plan
for this week :
MATHEMATICS :
Conic Section –
Parabola, Ellipse and Hyperbola is a huge chapter in terms of volume but is the
most important of all chapters in Coordinate Geometry. Maximum number of questions
is asked from this topic. So I hope you have not ignored it. Take six
additional hours to finish off anything pending in Conic Section.
Do not undermine the
importance of Coordinate Geometry in your preparations. It is the low risk,
high reward section of the JEE. If you are thorough with Coordinate Geometry,
chances are high that you will be able to solve all the questions asked from
this section in JEE.
Once you are done
with Conic Section, start off with Eduwiser’s Vectors and 3-D Geometry (Eduwiser
Publishing Group). Go through the theory part and worked out examples of the
chapters – Vector Algebra (Ch:1), Dot Product of Two Vectors (Ch:2) and Cross
Product of Two Vectors (Ch:3). These chapters are based on +2 Board
Examinations and should be very easy to brisk past. This will take about ten
hours of your time.
After you are done
with the above, start the chapter – Competition Section. This chapter has a
summary of results for previous chapters (which you must be thorough with) and
has additional theory for topics like Scalar Triple Product, Reciprocal System
of Vectors, etc. specifically for JEE Advanced (not JEE Mains). You must also
go through the worked out examples from this chapter thoroughly. Skip “Prove
that” questions that are more than a page long but for shorter ones, keep the
results to be proved in mind.
Solve all the
subjective exercise questions except the “Prove that” ones (again, keep their
results in mind). Also solve all the new pattern questions except the “Straight
Objective Type Questions”. This should take another ten hours of your time.
CHEMISTRY :
In Physical Chemistry,
Energetics will be our target for this week. Go through each of the topics – First
law of Thermodynamics, Internal Energy, Work and Heat, Pressure-Volume work,
Enthalpy, Hess’ Law, Heat of reaction, fusion and vaporization, Second law of
Thermodynamics, Entropy, Free Energy and Criterion of Spontaneity from Dr. P. Bahadur’s Numerical Chemistry. The chapter
is very simple and short but if you have problems understanding the concepts,
ask for help from your teachers at School/Coaching Classes. Try to get hold of
Prof. A. K. Ghosh’s book on Physical Chemistry from Good Books publishers. This
book is available in Patna but I am not sure about availability in other cities
because the publisher is a local publisher. Understanding the concepts in this
chapter is more important because you will read about the same thermodynamic
laws in Physics and then it will get slightly confusing because of the positive
and negative signs used in the equations.
Solve worked out
examples from both Numerical Chemistry by Dr. P. Pahadur and Physical Chemistry
by Dr. R. C. Mukherjee. No need to solve the questions in the exercises from
Numerical Chemistry but solve all the exercise questions from Dr. R. C.
Mukherjee’s book.
Also practice new
pattern questions from your Coaching Classes material. All of this should take
not more than ten hours.
For Organic
Chemistry, we will finish off Preparation, properties and reactions of alkanes
– Homologous series, Physical properties (melting points, boiling points,
density), Combustion and halogenation, Preparation of alkanes by Wurtz reaction
and decarboxylation reactions. You can go through all this from your Coaching
Classes course material. One other book that I found useful for the reactions,
etc. was Organic Chemistry by Prof. S. Lal that was again from Good Books
publishers (so you know where to buy it from). This should take you another ten
hours. Practice questions from the book/material you read your theory from, for
the time-being. Allot the remaining four hours for the same.
You can skip
Inorganic Chemistry this week. If you happen to get even an hour free, revise
previous week’s portion.
PHYSICS :
In Physics, we will
cover Gravitation and Electrostats this week from Prof. H. C. Verma’s Concepts
of Physics – Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 respectively. There are a lot of formulas and
results to be memorized in these chapters and I would suggest you write them on
flash cards and keep looking at them whenever you get the time. Why I am asking
you to complete these two chapters simultaneously is because the concepts in
both these chapters are almost the same. The difference comes in the formula
constants. The difference also comes in the variables (in Electrostats, you
have the charges whereas in Gravitation, you have the masses) but the basic
concept is the same.
After finishing the
theory from Concepts of Physics, go through the worked out examples and solve
all the exercise questions. Try solving the Objective I and Objective II
questions. You should keep in mind the answers of these objective questions because
they help you understand the concepts better. Get rid of any doubts that you
have in exercise questions at once. Do not leave it for the future.
Also try solving new
pattern questions from your Coaching Classes material. This week, Physics will
take up about twenty hours of your time.
For this week, in all
the chapters, if you are not able to solve any question, do not keep it for
later. Get your doubts cleared at once.
Until next week, all
the best !
