We have to practice and apply those concepts in problem solving. This sheet does just that. It contains a collection of problems segregated in the following exercises to help you master the concepts in a systematic and organized way. “Practice makes a man perfect” 1. Concept builder - 1 & 1A As soon as you have finished learning the concept do the problems from these exercises first. These exercises contains easy level questions to help you build your concepts. 1 —» Contains Single Correct Type questions 1A — Contains pattern based questions incorporating the latest JEE Advanced based patterns , match the column, ete. like more than one correct, matching lis 2 Brain Booster — 2 & 2A. Now that you have built your concepts it’s time to master them by solving Brain Boosting problems. Don’t hurry through these problems. Take time to solve & lea from them. These exercises contains Medium & Tough level problems. Do questions from 2 & 2A after attempting 1 & 1A 2 — Single Correct Type questions, 2A ——® Pattern Based questions. 3. Simulator — JM & JA Contains questions from previous year JEE Mains & JEE Advanced questions in exercise JM & exercise JA respectively. Get the real taste & feel of the type of questions being asked in JEE. It’s a great tool for simulating your mind with JEE problems.
