IT JEE 2011 Annual Study Plan for Physics 2009-10

Study plan: Every day four and half hours are to be spent to do the first reading, answering questions and problem solving.

For each chapter first ten day period is detailed reading and one hour is to be spent. For the next ten days, the period is treated as revision period for the chapter and half an hour is spent. Thus one and half hours are to be spent for each subject and three subjects require four and half hours of study.

Every student has to customize this plan harmonize with the chapter being covered in his regular class or coaching class. You insert the chapter that is being covered in your class in the place of chapter plannined here and shift one chapter forwards. You will save time and learn better that way. Harmonize your reading with the chapter being covered in your class. But you have to take responsibility for self study, and for covering and completing the portion by December 2010.

IIT JEE 2011 - April 2009 Plan

If you are planning to appear for JEE 2011, spend April 2009 in having some relaxation from your X class examination effort and in revising your X portion. If you revise your X portion once again and start learning XI portion from 1 May 2009, you will be able to grasp the subject much faster due to the continuity that you are maintaining by revising your X portion especially of chemistry, Mathematics and Physics. Plan to spend aroud 5 to 6 hours on revising your X material. Plan to complete a quick review of every chapter in X class and remember important concepts. It is not difficult to recollect important points as you have written the examination recently. With some slight effort you will be recollecting a large number of concepts.

I am preparing study guides for each chapter of Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics to provide you a daily plan of study and problem solving that will help you to complete the entire XI portion related to JEE by 31st December 2009. From January you can focus and prepare for Board examinations or school internal examinations with revision and solving some test papers at JEE level up to 30th April 2010.

Pursuit of Excellence and Success

Bonnie St. John Deane

Winner in Disabled Olympics, Harvard and Oxford Degree holder, White House Official on National Economic Council

Who or what motivates you?

Her answer: "I motivate me."

Her method: Five step exercise.

Five steps

1.What are your payoffs? List down the benefits or rewards from achieving or completing the task.

2. Find deeper meaning in your goals. Find compelling reasons for completing your goal.

3. Get your dreams at half price. Find more goals which can be reached with the work that you are putting in for reaching this goal. Work with a friend. Develop a plan to achieve the goal efficiently with less cost.

4. Stop underestimating your odds for success: Underestimating your odds to succeed can stop you dead in your tracks. Believe in your success till the end of the task.

Err on the side of optimism. Spend less time with people who discourage you on the task or goal. But don't just believe in positive thinking. Investigate the odds, have a real confidence that they are within your teach and always work on improving the odds.

5. Change your real odds or winning or improving odds: Learn from people who have succeeded in reaching the goal before.
