As Jee
is the most unpredictable engineering exam in the world, one cannot say for sure from which chapter most questions will come. But a scientific study of the last 10 years of papers leads to some good conclusions. Also when we take input from experienced teachers on which chapters are most important, they told us that though some chapters are of very high weightage but one should prioritise revision only after seeing the effort needed to get a strong command over them.
The 4 types of chapters
You can divide the chapters based on how much ‘weightage’ (importance to the exam) vs how much input (effort to learn and understand) they require.
The 4 types of chapters are –
High Weightage, Low Effort (Easy)
These are the most important group of chapters. These you must complete very very thoroughly.
High Weightage, High Effort (Hard)
These are the second most important group of chapters. You will probably have to spend a lot of time on these chapters.
Low Weightage, Low Effort (Easy)
These are the chapters you can do only when you have time left after the first 2.
Low Weightage, High Effort (Hard)
Forget these chapters! You don’t need to bother with them as you should focus on the above three types of chapters instead.
