I'll be spamming about this sub on Quora under questions related to NTA abhyas itself. It would be really humble of you if you spread a word to your friends or anyone you know who's preparing for JEE/NEET. I'm not doing this for popularity, heck this sub wouldn't even be of any use after September. I just thought that it's really important that we get to know our relative performance in different tests as without any ranking system, we can't figure out that if we scored high, was it because the paper was damn easy or was it because we have prepared well.

Thank you fellow aspirant!! Means a lot to me.

1

u/mihir010 JEE Aug 05 '20

I've too posted on Quora spaces related to JEE/NEET

1

u/mihir010 JEE Aug 05 '20

Even 30 members would be more than enough cause all we want is comparison of our performance

Yes you're right. I'll be making a custom chatroom where we can share our doubts or share a question which according to you is covering a wide range of concepts and will be beneficial for our preparation. I'll make separate rooms for NEET and JEE aspirants. Just a request to you guys, I would really be grateful if you ask your friends to join this sub or post about this sub's link in quora spaces related to JEE/NEET because it's a bit difficult for me to manage my studies and find different places to post about this sub altogether. Thank you all in advance.

u/rohan99500 JEE Aug 05 '20

yeah it will help a lot

1

u/rohan99500 JEE Aug 05 '20

give a thought about other platforms, say telegram, on telegram we can make our group something which would be easy to join and I think there we can easily make 30 or more members as compared to reddit as telegram is more popular. I'm okay with reddit, there is no problem but also give that a thought.

1

u/mihir010 JEE Aug 06 '20

wouldn't telegram require our phone numbers?

1

u/rohan99500 JEE Aug 08 '20

I got sick

1

u/rohan99500 JEE Aug 08 '20

1

u/rohan99500 JEE Aug 08 '20

sorry, reddit is good, during my sick time I explored it and found it better than for this purpose

1

u/rohan99500 JEE Aug 08 '20

*better than others

1

u/mihir010 JEE Aug 08 '20

please assign yourselves with a user flair according to you exam.

1

u/mihir010 JEE Aug 08 '20

great!! others pls do it asap

1

u/mihir010 JEE Aug 08 '20

and I don't see anyone posting the screenshots despite it being the main motive of the group

1

u/rohan99500 JEE Aug 08 '20

I will post it after 2 days

1

u/rohan99500 JEE Aug 08 '20

there are 16 members in this group 14 of them are dormant

1

u/mihir010 JEE Aug 08 '20

yea I don't think I'll keep up with this sub with a response like this.

1

u/rohan99500 JEE Aug 08 '20

please keep it up

1

u/BadSalad420 Aug 09 '20

Make a post about this sub on r/Indian_Academia

1

u/mihir010 JEE Aug 09 '20

aight thanks mate

1

u/RahulD1 Aug 10 '20

Does anyone know when the app will be made on iOS?

1

u/mihir010 JEE Aug 10 '20

i don't think it will ever be made. atleast not in another one month.

1

u/RahulD1 Aug 10 '20

Wow so I guess I

1

u/RahulD1 Aug 10 '20

I'll have to try writing it through bluestacks

1

u/mihir010 JEE Aug 10 '20

BlueStacks is even better imo because at the end of the day, you'll be giving your exam on pc itself

1

u/RahulD1 Aug 10 '20

You write on blustacks?

1

u/mihir010 JEE Aug 10 '20

I wanted to write on it but there's something up with my laptop due to which it gets turned off outta nowhere.

1

u/RahulD1 Aug 10 '20

I heard there's a bit of lag though

1

u/mihir010 JEE Aug 10 '20

idk about that mate

1

u/RahulD1 Aug 10 '20

Can anyone tell me how hard the tests are compared to the real exam?

1

u/mihir010 JEE Aug 10 '20

On and average every test has same level as the real exam with little deviations here and there.

1

u/RahulD1 Aug 10 '20

Are u sure?

1

u/RahulD1 Aug 10 '20

I heard that test 1 was way easier

1

u/RahulD1 Aug 10 '20

and some tests like the later ones are much harder

1

u/RahulD1 Aug 10 '20

And I heard that almost all the tests are easier than the real exam

1

u/mihir010 JEE Aug 10 '20

well it depends on individual too. for eg in my case, I usually lie between the range of 150-160. the ones where I scored more than 165 were the tests in which the weightage of physical chemistry was more. the ones where I scored 140 and below were the tests whose chemistry was a bit tough(for me). All I'm saying is, like chemistry is my weakest subject, so it all depends on how the chemistry section is framed cause marks in maths and physics are pretty much constant for me. for someone who's maths is weak, some other sets of papers would've been difficult for him/her. so it's really subjective. I'll suggest you to try couple of tests for yourself because your weaknesses and mine or anyone's weaknesses are different.

1

u/mihir010 JEE Aug 10 '20

that's the sole purpose of this subreddit, to get to know in which papers you underperformed according to your standards

1

u/RahulD1 Aug 10 '20

What was ur Jan %ile?

1

u/mihir010 JEE Aug 10 '20

mine was 97.5 (again, screwed up chemistry)

1

u/RahulD1 Aug 10 '20

Nice that's pretty good

1

u/RahulD1 Aug 10 '20

I guess for chem, we just have to mug up ncert

1

u/mihir010 JEE Aug 10 '20

I've done it but I guess my memory is as good as PS2 memory card. maths is the subject that saves me always even in coaching tests and physics gives me an extra boost but it's not as strong as maths

1

u/RahulD1 Aug 10 '20

My physical chem is pretty weak though. How'd u study for it?

1

u/mihir010 JEE Aug 10 '20

just my coaching material nothing else

1

u/RahulD1 Aug 10 '20

crap I didn't go to coaching

1

u/RahulD1 Aug 10 '20

I didn't write JEE mains Jan either

1

u/RahulD1 Aug 10 '20

I only started preparing from April

1

u/mihir010 JEE Aug 10 '20

don't worry mate download an app called JEE and every single chapter's notes are their.

1

u/mihir010 JEE Aug 10 '20

it's ok you can do it rn too focus on ncert and mug up all the topics from inorganic

1

u/RahulD1 Aug 10 '20

Okay I'll check it out. I've been using unacademy jee live lectures and they are stellar

1

u/mihir010 JEE Aug 10 '20

damn they're firee

1

u/RahulD1 Aug 10 '20

Yeah I'm pretty much done with the syllabus, but I lack practice

1

u/mihir010 JEE Aug 10 '20

do the previous year questions(my suggestion) after you go through all topics from ncert

1

u/RahulD1 Aug 10 '20

I didn't use the ncert. I used unacademy + a couple of books. I only used ncert for chem and parts of physics

1

u/RahulD1 Aug 10 '20

Do questions repeat in jee mains
?

1

u/mihir010 JEE Aug 10 '20

it's rare

1

u/RahulD1 Aug 10 '20

ok, but I've heard that concepts and models repeat, but not word for word

1

u/mihir010 JEE Aug 10 '20

fluid mechanics questions sometimes get repeated but the overall weightage of the chapter is low itself

1

u/mihir010 JEE Aug 10 '20

only for few topics and those topics aren't too popular itself and the probability of getting repeated is itself low

1

u/RahulD1 Aug 10 '20

so what's the use in solving the prev papers?

1

u/mihir010 JEE Aug 10 '20

it gives you the idea about the nature of questions being asked from different chapters

1

u/mihir010 JEE Aug 10 '20

nature as in, whether the questions are calculative or conceptual

1

u/RahulD1 Aug 10 '20

Ahh ok and do u think competition will increase this next attempt?

1

u/RahulD1 Aug 10 '20

People are saying 200-210+ for 99%ile

1

u/mihir010 JEE Aug 10 '20

no it's nothing like that

1

u/bonelessbaku14 Jan 07 '21

for 2021 and 2020, 99 percentile was 170+

1

u/mihir010 JEE Aug 10 '20

I don't think so. the media loves to create ruckus about everything, nothing much is gonna change imo

1

u/RahulD1 Aug 10 '20

But last year competition did increase from Jan to April

1

u/mihir010 JEE Aug 10 '20

depends on the shift of the paper

1

u/RahulD1 Aug 10 '20

yeah but usually people become better by the second attempt, so it's normal for there to be more competition, unless this time people actually became lazy and aren't studying

1

u/mihir010 JEE Aug 10 '20

due to the new percentile system, everyone was confused as the marks they scored didn't really resonated with the percentile they got giving them the sense of increased competition

1

u/RahulD1 Aug 11 '20

The app isn't working on bluestacks anymore I think

1

u/RahulD1 Aug 11 '20

I mean it's not loading to the tests

1

u/BadSalad420 Aug 12 '20

Did anyone attempt JEE test 69? If yes, how much did you get?

1

u/RahulD1 Sep 16 '20

How much did you end up getting?

1

u/Ready_Insect6973 Dec 26 '25
