With JEE (Advanced) 2014 just over a month away, it is time engineering aspirants pep-up their preparations for the exam.

The JEE (Advanced) question paper consists of questions from: Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics.

Students may find Mathematics a little overwhelming while preparing for the exam. Here are a few helpful tips for students which will them master the subject.

Paper pattern :

The exam consists of two objective type (MCQ) question papers, designed to test comprehension, reasoning and analytical ability of candidates. Both the papers will be held for a duration of three hours and are made of three separate sections on Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics.

Candidates can answer the questions in English or Hindi. Negative making is applicable for every wrong answer.

Mathematics syllabus :

Algebra -

Quadratic Equations and Expressions, Complex Numbers, Probability, Vectors and 3D Geometry, Matrices

Coordinate Geometry -

Circle, Parabola, Hyperbola

Calculus -

Functions, Limits, Continuity and Differentiability, Application of Derivatives, Definite Integral

Tips :

If we analyse the previous year JEE papers, they suggest that the candidates should pay more attention to Vectors and 3-D than Probability or Indefinite integration as vectors and 3-D offers very less scope to examiner, as far as variety in problem is concerned. Each year 2-3 questions are asked from Complex Number. Therefore mastering complex numbers, vectors, 3-D and Definite integral should be their top priority.

Students can make Algebra easier if they can harness the ability to picture functions as graphs and are good at applying vertical and horizontal origin shifts carefully as zeroes of functions and other specific values can be done in much less time using these techniques.
Differential calculus again relates well to roots of equations, especially if you use the Rolle's and Lagrange's theorems.
Students can use Complex numbers to solve questions in co- ordinate geometry too. Trigonometric questions require applications of De Moivre's theorem.
Permutation, Combination and Probability is another very important topic in algebra. Students have to be thorough with the basics of Bayes theorem, derangements and various ways of distribution, taking care of cases where objects are identical and when they are not.
Matrices can be related to equations, hence a 3×3 matrix can actually be visualized as being three-planed in 3D geometry. Determinants have some very nice properties, for instance, the ability to break them into two using a common summand from a row/ column, which should be made use of in tougher questions.
Integral calculus can be simplified using tricks and keeping in mind some basic varieties of integrable functions. Remembering the properties and applying them wisely saves lot of time.
Coordinate geometry requires a good working knowledge of the parametric forms of various conic sections and an ability to convert the other, tougher ones to these basic forms and then interpret the solutions accordingly.

The most important point to keep in mind is that Mathematics can only be mastered with regular practice. Hence the students should try and solve as many sample papers and problems as possible on a regular basis.

In 10th class or SSC exams there are mainly we can see six general subjects like English, Hindi, telugu, social, mathematics and finally science. These all subjects are common to all students who studying SSC presently at various schools established across the state and approved by board. The entire syllabus was designed and made by experts according to board of secondary education (BSEAP) guidance exclusively. In case the syllabus has change then the subjects will also be changed. But most of subjects will be remain same. During exams preparation all students should need to have some special techniques to remember easily anything that they have read on the books and subjects. Some students already follow few kind of special techniques to remember what they have read and they'll improve it automatically. But many of us will don't have this kind of techniques. So on that segment we're going to write down and provide some golden tips for you.

Daily Tow Hours Practice:

Mathematics is a very important and easy subject in 10th class exams because its will helpful to you to get cent marks. And you can increase your total percentage of marks with mathematics. But without proper planning and practice you can't obtain at least above 50 marks and it will turns into most tough or hard subject ever in the entire exams. Many students think math's is a very critical subject to prepare. But at least no little practice everything will looks like hard and horrible to do. So every student have to spend daily two hours of time for mathematics to practice. Because only practice can improve your talent and skills and makes you perfect without any doubt. Prepare mathematics at morning times for remember easily.

While math's revision every student will get some doubts about problems in subject. So to clarify their doubts they should need to consult their concerned subject teachers or experts. If experts are not available near to you then you can also take help of well studying fellow student (classmate) to clarify your doubts relevant to mathematics. But one more thing we can say loudly and without any doubt that is "Math's is a very easy subject in 10th Class if you learn all important equations" carefully and completely. After you learn them you can do and clarify even any type of difficult or hard problem easily. Because equations are the combined heart of mathematics. So first every student should need to learn all the equations in their chapters and then they can go for practice little big problems. By following these simple tips you can get maximum marks and good percentage in mathematics without any pressure.

Civics and Economics (Social Studies):

In social studies we can observe few most common and major topics mainly like geography, history, civics and finally economics. These are the most important topics in social subject. And in question paper of final exam there will be total 30 marks from these topics in subjective type questions, 15 marks in objective type and finally 5 marks from graph. So you have to focus on mainly those topics which gain high score. Every day half an hour practice graphs. In history the dates and years of particular thing are important. So try to note down them in separate scribbling book or small note book and refer them again and again to remember perfectly. And in geography you need to remember all things highly related to oceans, factories and crops etc. Also you can see only less chapters in civics and economics. So you have chance to secure good marks from these chapters. So try to focus on that chapters also. Spend daily one hour at least to read this easy and interesting subject for obtaining good score.

Hand Writing is Important:

Hand writing is a very important thing that will be considered by every evaluator who valuate your answer sheet to give some marks for that. So try to keep good hand writing and improve it day by day with practice. By filling your answer sheets with beautiful and attracting hand writing in exams you will get chance to score good marks even you wrote something wrong answer for any question. During valuation the evaluator will first look into your answer paper for hand writing and only after it he/she will turn to focus on remaining content and important things to give marks. We know, the first impression is best impression. If the evaluator would like your writing then he/she may give you full marks for that question. So we can understand how much important is hand writing and how it will take effect on your score also. Many of students may fail on this reason mainly even they have great skills and write all the right answers. So first keep your eye on hand writing, improve it daily and finally try to get some impression of evaluator. Good hand writing is always one of the most important way to get good percentage. With best practice of hand writing you can earn up to 10 marks exclusively in each subject.

And another important thing is that yours content. That means what you have written is also important thing consider by evaluator after look into your hand writing. So don't write anything silly or wrong in first few pages of answer booklet anyway to don't get avoided by evaluator. And first answer only well-known questions in first few pages without doing any mistake. Write only about important matter that is relevant to that given question. The pure and rich content will helpful to you to get good percentage also.

In case you would like to write more pages in exam then make sure that you're going to write only relevant content. Because more pages that write with irrelevant content will effect on your marks. So try to keep your pages clean and clear by writing between 15 to 25 pages for avoiding fail and low marks. Just write your main points in starting of pages and paragraph lines. And include other things that you have learned and know about that topic in last paragraphs and last pages in your style. Don't waste your most valuable time during exams by writing irrelevant content at first and just write any irrelevant content only after writing all known answers and just few minutes before leaving exam hall. Place all irrelevant content in last pages. Also remember, don't write answer for any question in more than two pages and try to keep and complete your answer in 3 or 4 simple paragraphs that means 15 to 25 small lines that are comfortable to read any evaluator quickly.

Focus on Digraphs and Objective Type Questions:

The diagrams are also do major role in 10th class public exams. But the diagrams in these exams mostly permitted only to some subjects like physical science and natural science. And there will no diagrams come from other subjects like English, Hindi and Telugu. But mathematics also had has some common presentations and social subject will also contains some maps. So spend daily some little time for learning diagrams, layouts and maps from these subjects. The each diagram that you represent will award you at least 4 to 5 marks in end exams. So it's better to concentrate on this aspect also to do not loss some more valuable marks. But, remember one thing that is while presenting any diagram sketch it with only think pencil and don't use any sketch pens and ink pens to don't loss marks. By presenting picture with think pencil in correct dimension or shape you can get more marks for that. Don't represent irrelevant diagrams in the answer sheet. If you don't know anything about that diagram then just leave it. So before you go to appear for any exam that contains some diagrams you should have to learn and practice them completely. Present your diagram between the answer that means middle of answer or starting of the answer but don't place it in the ending of answer.

Finally objective, this is the most and most important part in every question paper to focus. Because those who don't prepare at least main answers they all can get pass in their subjects using this part only. Even well prepared candidate sometimes will get fail marks. So who wish to get good marks and pass marks they all can earn most of marks from this objective part. In main exams all six subjects will contains this objective type questions separately. This objective type questions also called multiple choice questions. So those whose target is obtaining merit rank and who feels they will fail in particular subject they all have chance to get good marks if they just prepare this important part by focusing. So also spend some time (1 to 2 hours daily) to learn and attempt bits or objective questions and do little hard work. Just read and practice this objective type questions from your 10th class syllabus made by officially board. And you don't need to gather any special material for that and don't need to read and follow any other books that are available in market. Just follow and use your relevant text books distributed by board, refer previous or old question papers of SSC public exams, check for repeating questions and practice well.

English Preparation Tips:

English is a first language in SSC exams but many students commonly feel fear with English subject and think it's hard to read because of no basic knowledge and good English teacher. But with little practice you can easily attempt English subject. In English the grammar is a very important part to learn and understand first. Practice English daily two hours to get high score.

But by neglecting yourself by don't preparing it and without taking certain required cares there will be chances to get only lowest pass marks. So try to be careful on this subject also and prepare it well by doing right preparation. In telugu there will be mainly few aspects that are important to focus that are following essays, stories, grammar, short answer questions, bits and other important topics. We hope you know how to prepare telugu and can prepare it easily by understanding basic concepts yourself.

Physical and Natural Science:

Physical and natural science both are related to science subject and are important. But in final exams they'll will be divided and come into two separate question papers. So you have to appear for them both separately. Each paper will contains half, half marks. But in SSC exam results the marks will be totaled and added by adjusting or combining obtained marks in both two papers. So even you get fail in one paper unfortunately you have chance to get pass marks using another paper by obtaining required above 35 marks. But try to focus on both papers to get good marks and don't target just for pass marks. In physical and natural science diagrams will play major role.

GMAT Study Tips for International and ESL Students | Kaplan GMAT ...

Posted: 05 May 2014 07:00 AM PDT

I started my Kaplan career teaching in the Puerto Rico center, where most of my students knew English as a Second Language. The GMAT can be especially daunting when not the just the content or strategy, but the language itself intimidates you. Never fear – I've got some action steps to help you out.

1. Aim for total English immersion between now and GMAT Test Day.

Immersion means only English movies, English music, English radio, English-speaking friends, and English newspapers. You can absorb grammar and get a better ear for the language even in the short time between now and GMAT Test Day if you immerse yourself. Free resources abound on the internet: nytimes.com for reading, npr.org for radio (Fresh Air, Diane Rehm, and This American Life are great picks), free podcasts on iTunes, English music on pandora.com. The New York Times is especially important, since you need to be comfortable with high-level writing in the reading comprehension section. Nytimes.com is particularly helpful because double clicking on a word you don't know calls up a definition. Any improvements you make in vocabulary and reading comprehension will also help you once you get to business school.

2. Use your first language to help with vocabulary.

Particularly if you speak a Romance language, like French, Spanish, or Italian, you can use your knowledge of that language to guess on unfamiliar English vocabulary. My Spanish-speaking students had no problems guessing that lachrymose means tearful, because it sounds just like lágrimas, which is Spanish for "tears". Word roots will also come naturally to you, since they are often forms of words you already know.

3. Recognize that math vocabulary is as important as English vocabulary

You could be very strong in math, but if you studied it in a different language, you will need help with some terms. Many of my students in Puerto Rico knew odds and evens as pares and impares. The GMAT made more sense to them when they learned the English translations for unfamiliar math terms. When you encounter math terms you are unsure of, look them up. Also, practice accurately translating from English to Math on Algebra word problems – this is an extremely important skill to master for the exam.

4. Be extra-familiar with the Kaplan essay templates.

Simplicity and clarity are the keys to writing an essay in 30 minutes in a foreign language. First, make sure you understand the prompt. If you are enrolled in a Kaplan course, use the Kaplan Template for the essay and know that you will probably have to make use of all the time valves in order to finish. When writing, it is better to write something simple in English, as opposed to translating something complex from your own language into English. This is definitely something you will want to practice repeatedly under test-like conditions.

5. Know how to pace appropriately.

When reading questions and passages takes longer than average, pacing becomes more challenging. Make sure you input an answer for every question, even if you have to guess, since you don't lose points for wrong answers. Pacing on reading comprehension may be particularly tricky. Kaplan's elimination strategies for wrong answer traps on reading comprehension will really help you answer more quickly. Also, using the approaches for each reading comprehension question type will save you time. Put special emphasis on these facets of your study to make the most of the time you have.

The fact that English is not your first language may cause you anxiety when facing the GMAT, but ultimately it's something that you must make the best of. Following these strategies will allow you to do just that. Many speakers of English as a Foreign Language are accepted into MBA Programs every year and you should be among them!
