How to Study Physics for JEE Main
Physics is one of the three subjects asked in JEE Main exam along with Chemistry and Mathematics. Students preparing for JEE Main often find Physics difficult in comparison to the other two subjects. Questions in JEE Main exam are framed from the class 11 and 12 Physics syllabus, in a way which tests the fundamental and analytical understanding of the students. And so, the level of questions in exam are that of class 11 and 12 but the skills required to solve the questions must be of a high standard. Students often have queries on how to study Physics for JEE Main to score good marks in the exam. To help students prepare JEE Main Physics, Careers360 conducted a live webinar with Pramod Maheshwari, CMD of Career Point Coaching Institute. Here in the article, students are presented with queries on how to study Physics for JEE Main as suggested by him.

How to Study Physics for JEE Main - What Pramod Maheshwari Say
Physics is an analytical subject which needs to be visualised and understood through its concepts and principles. Physics can not be learnt by memorizing the principles and concepts, one has to understand how to apply those principles and concepts. The other important part of JEE Main physics is numerical problems. Students have to solve as many numericals as they can to get good command over the subject.
Preparation Plan for JEE Main Physics
NCERT is the best book to start studying Physics for JEE Main. It is written by the most eminent Physicists and has a very lucid and easy to understand language.
Make a preparation timetable for JEE Main. Allot at least 4-5 hours daily for JEE Main preparation and 2 hours specifically for Physics apart from school hours.
Refer the JEE Main syllabus for Physics and mark the topics in textbooks
Start from class 11 NCERT text book and read each chapter thoroughly.
Revise in evening the topics studied before going to sleep
Give proper time to study each chapter. Understand the concepts and learn from the examples
Do not hurry or learn anything in haste and don’t try to memorize the concepts
Make your own notes from studying the topics
Refer additional material for examples, if necessary.
How to Master Solving Numerical in Physics for JEE Main
Always begin with easy questions and do not jump to the difficult questions
First read the numerical one or two times and try to understand what is said and what is asked.
Write down all the information and values given in the question
Write down the point which is asked in question
Convert all the numerical values in same SI units if they are different
Use the formula which has to be applied for getting the answers
Sometimes, the question may require a series of formulas to be applied before arriving at the final answer
Always check the numerical values, a very small mistake can turn the answer wrong
Solve as many questions as you can to gain confidence
DO NOT avoid solving numerical problems.

i m jee aspirant aiming for feb attempt would be my best attempt. my problem is i m not able to split my time schedule to tests and practise, like when to give test and how can i complete around 60 chapters efficiently so that i could score good in final so what should me time table in detail??
You must make sure that you sit for at least 3 hours to make a habit of giving tests for 3 hours. You can give 2-3 tests daily for good results and to complete whole syllabus before the examination. If you wish you can also practice chaptee- wise questions. Give yourself enough time to rest between two tests. You can attempt one test in the morning, one in the afternoon amd one at night and in between that you might revise things and take a bit of rest. You can also split your time subject wise. The subject that you think us a tough one, you can practice it's questions in the morning, when you are most energetic and the, easiest one at the last.

I passed 12 th in 2019, can I pass 12 th in again 2022 and sit in jee advanced
If you want to study class 11th and 12th again and if you have already passed once then you will have to do it from a different board and probably a state board.I believe this is not a good option because this will waste your 2 years. Instead you should give improvement exam and and enhance your marks.
Again the decision is yours, take wisely.
Goodluck
