WHAT ARE THOSE SPECIFIC TOPICS THAT ARE THERE IN JEE MAIN SYLLABUS BUT THEY ARE NOT INCLUDED IN JEE ADVANCED SYLLABUS?

Image
There is a list of chapters, questions from that are only asked in JEE Main and hence they are called JEE Main Topics. These topics are Statistics, Mathematical Reasoning, Height and Distance, Mathematical Induction, Sets and Relations. While analyzing the previous year's papers, what I’ve seen is that one question from each of the aforementioned topics does come in JEE Main. So don’t forget to revise and practice the JEE Main Topics. Below is a tentative prediction on what type of questions can come from JEE Main Topics in JEE Main: Statistics - Questions Based Either On Variance or SD or Mean or Median or Mode (Most Frequently Asked For Simple Data) Mathematical Reasoning - Questions Based On Connectives And Truth Table Like Identifying Contradiction, Tautology, Equivalence And Negation/Contrapositive/Inverse/Converse of A Connective Height And Distance - The Regular Questions Asking Heights And Distances (Mostly of 10th Level) Mathematical Induction - I Personally Have Never Se...

CAN I GET A RANK BETWEEN 2000 TO 5000 RANK IN JEE ADVANCED IF PREVIOUSLY I HAD A JEE MAIN FOCUSED MINDSET FOR 2 YEARS AND JUST HAVE REDIRECTED MY FOCUS TOWARDS JEE ADVANCED?

Image
Yes! You can definitely get a rank between 2000-5000 in JEE Advanced even if previously you had a JEE Main focused mindset and you have just now redirected your focus towards JEE Advanced.  See! JEE Advanced and JEE Main don’t have a different syllabus, meaning that if you have prepared well for JEE Main, then you just need to do some extra things to prepare for JEE Advanced. JEE Advanced needs more conceptual clarity, especially for the multiple correct type questions. Try practicing more difficult questions from a good book specially designed for JEE Advanced, like Black Book for Mathematics. Practice different types of questions like multiple correct, integer type, numerical answer type, comprehension based, matrix-match etc-etc. Maintain a good balance between Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. Remember, to qualify in JEE Advanced, you also have to clear the subject-wise cutoff along with the total cut-off. Study as much as you can in the remaining days with maintaining your h...

CAN YOU SHARE THE STORY OF SOMEONE WHO BUT CRACKED JEE MAIN WITH OKAY-OK MARKS BUT CRACKED JEE ADVANCED IN LAST MONTH WITH AT LEAST 3K-4K RANK?

Image
Yes.  He was my friend's friend and his name was  Hari Krishna.  Though I don't know him personally but I have heard about him from my friend quite a few times. Jumping directly to the answer, Hari Krishna scored around  140 marks out of 360  in  JEE Main 2016.  He was quite upset with his result and so he went to his hometown right after JEE Main 2016. He also didn’t attend the JEE Advanced classes as he was not happy with his result. What he actually did was that during the time when everyone (including my friend) was busy attending JEE Advanced classes, doing the toughest sums for JEE Advanced and whatnot, he just picked  10-15 previous year JEE Advanced papers  and solved it during the  45-day period  before  JEE Advanced 2016.  Additionally, he revised his notes, important questions and formulas by doing self-study. It was to my surprise when I got to know from my friend (who scored around  230 marks out of 360...
