Revision Strategy

Revision is the most important part of journey for an IIT aspirant. I still remember my teachers telling me that "Whatever you study for 1.5 years contributes only 50% to your rank and How you revise in the last 5-6 months contributes the other 50%". It is only near this time that within such short period of time you will witness so much shuffling of ranks even within your institute that you can get an idea about what would be happening to the forecoming rank potentials at All India Level. Hence, this is the opportunity you have in your hand to blur all the mistakes you have made in the past and you must use it very wisely.

• Never revise in a haste. That is the worst thing you can do with your time. Don't revise just for the sake of some exam the next day. It is human nature to be worried about short-term targets but in that you must not forget your long-term target i.e. JEE Advanced. So just revising formulae one day before an exam is a very bad idea. Instead go on chapter-wise and strengthen your topics from the very core.
• Keep in touch with Inorganic Chemistry throughout your revision and keep on revising it. It is one branch which will only improve by constant revision since then you will start correlating different chapters. Also do Comprehension type questions of Inorganic Chemistry. They are often muti-concept based and will force you to think beyond the boundaries of chapters and hence reinforce learning.
• Never skip an exam just because you haven't prepared for it. You will always feel that your preparation is incomplete for the next exam or maybe you didn't revise that chapter and it is going to come the next day. "What if I don't score good in that test? What if I get demotivated after the result?" A plethora of thoughts generally follow :P Chill! Marks of internal tests are not going to affect you in any way ! The kind of revision provided by tests is the better than what you could do in 3 hours. That is because when you give a test you are forced to think which makes you realise what all you know and what you don't. I am not asking you to give all the test. But give atleast 2-3 series of tests which would give you a comprehensive revision.
• You should highlight whatever you feel is important but you had forgotten. This is useful for all topics except Inorganic Chemistry :P (You know why :)) ) This would allow you to do more number of and effective revisions by consuming less time.
• Organic Chemistry may also give you trouble as is the case with most of us. It is logical only if you thoroughly know the reactions properly. There is no way other than revising reactions from time to time and also if you can correlate them to each other it is better.
• Give a first revision to all chapters by January mid and start doing some questions from all chapters. If you are giving exams regularly then this would not be a difficult task. Also, take my word that however much you revise you would always feel that you need to revise more but after a certain amount of time you should start giving more focus to solving multi-chapter based questions or mixed questions from all chapters rather than revising chapter-wise theory again and again. You aim should be that you should not feel disconnected to any chapter in the latter parts of your revision. 
• In the last 50 days after JEE Mains, I would recommend to solve one 3 hour paper everyday and analyse your shortcomings in that paper. It would improve your paper-attempting strategies and give you the required last-minute revision. 

In the end, I would like to congratulate you for who you have made yourself into. You have the power to do more. Keep in touch with your friends and well-wishers for regular motivation and advice. I know this is a hard phase of your life. But you have to put in your maximum. Don't worry, it will pass. You will emerge from this with flying colors. Just imagine your happiness when you get admission in your dream college. If that doesn't keep you motivated, I doubt anything can.
