JEE 2013 Preparation – Week 9



Following is the plan for this week :

MATHEMATICS :

This week, you can start with the exercises of the chapter on Matrices from Eduwiser’s Algebra by Prof. K. C. Sinha. For the subjective questions, solve all questions except “Prove that” ones. For the “Prove that” questions, all you need to do is to have a look at the results that have to be proved. If the results have a general expression (e.g. in the form of a formula), try memorizing it because that might help you solve other questions more quickly. Needless to mention, solve all the new pattern questions from the book. This should take about eight hours of your time.

Also try to solve new pattern questions from your Coaching Classes material. You do not need to sleep over any of the subjective problems from this material. Earmark four hours for this.

After completing the above, you can finish off a very small chapter – Logarithms and their Properties. This chapter is there in Eduwiser’s Trigonometry. The chapter is very simple but important because of its applications in other chapters. For the theory portion, you can also directly refer Eduwiser’s Mathematics for AIEEE by Prof. K. C. Sinha. The theory in this book is very concise and takes very little time. You should also solve questions on Logarithms from the same book. Completing this should hardly take six hours.


CHEMISTRY :

In Physical Chemistry, we will cover the following topics of Solutions:  Raoult’s law; Molecular weight determination from lowering of vapour pressure, elevation of boiling point and depression of freezing point.

For the above topics, I would suggest you first go through Dr. Ashish Ghosh’s Physical Chemistry from Good Books to clear your basic concepts and then solve “Worked Out Examples” from Dr. P. Bahadur’s Numerical Chemistry from G. R. Bathla. Skip the exercise of Dr. P. Bahadur’s book. Instead, solve questions from Dr. R. C. Mukherjee’s Physical Chemistry. While you are solving questions from Dr. R. C. Mukherjee’s book, you can also practice new pattern questions from your Coaching Classes material. This should take about eight hours of your time.

Finish off the following topics from Surface chemistry:  Elementary concepts of adsorption (excluding adsorption isotherms); Colloids: types, methods of preparation and general properties; Elementary ideas of emulsions, surfactants and micelles (only definitions and examples). This chapter is again very simple and short. You can refer your Coaching Classes notes for the same along with Dr. P. Bahadur’s or Dr. A. K. Ghosh’s book. You should be able to wrap this chapter up in about four hours of time.

For Organic Chemistry, cover the following topics of Aldehydes and Ketones: oxidation, reduction, oxime and hydrazone formation; aldol condensation, Perkin reaction; Cannizzaro reaction; haloform reaction and nucleophilic addition reactions (Grignard addition).

Study the above from your Coaching Classes course material or Prof. S. Lal’s Organic Chemistry from Good Books publishers. Organic Chemistry by Morrison and Boyd has to be referred to give you an idea of how reactions occur. Memorize all the reactions. You should be able to count the number of reactions of each chapter. Also go through the book on Reaction Mechanism by Sanyal. All this should take about eight hours.

In Inorganic Chemistry this week, you can cover Carbon: oxides and oxyacid (carbonic acid); Silicon: silicones, silicates and silicon carbide; Nitrogen: oxides, oxyacids and ammonia; Phosphorus: oxides, oxyacids (phosphorus acid, phosphoric acid) and phosphine; Oxygen: ozone and hydrogen peroxide; from your Coaching Classes course material or NCERT books. This should take eight hours of your time.


PHYSICS :

I hope you must have covered the topics I suggested you to complete last week. Take about seven more hours of time to finish them off if you have not been able to.

Then, you should move onto Electromagnetic induction: Faradays law, Lenzs law; Self and mutual inductance; RC, LR and LC circuits with D.C. and A.C. sources. The chapter is short and should not take much time. Refer the same book – Dr. H C. Verma’s Concepts of Physics – Vol. 2 for the above topics. Get rid of any doubts you have at once from any source possible. This chapter will take about six hours.

The balance eleven hours have to be used to solve new pattern questions and questions from last ten years’ IIT-JEE from the chapters Current Electricity, Magnetism and Electromagnetic Induction. This will give you an idea of the level questions you can expect in JEE – Mains and Advanced. At this point, it will also help to refer to MCQ by Prof. Deb Mukherji from Bharti Bhawan publishers. The book has a superb collection of questions and will help you think like an IITian!

Until next week, all the best !
