yeah silly mistakes keep happening...but 100 marks is sumwhat heart breaking ;(( ill tell u what...my sir say, theres usually very little difference between a say 500 ranker(or less) and a 1300 ranker...what makes this huge difference of ranks is the way he manages his exam on the d-day...to be honest, its not fair...atleast i think so...ppl say its a game of silly mistakes...its a part and parcel of the exam...if u have been beaten by a guy(say less deserving dan u), due to ur silly mistakes, den u too must have beaten many more deserving guyz due to their silly mistakes....so this is a thing that often happens...its up to u to invent ur own methods to stop this madness...some of which have been advised by some guys...what this thread is proving out to be(i know its not of great use to us as far as JEE is concerned any more) is its gonna teach the juniors of targetiit a gud lesson...
cheers!!!

thnx bro .....u r the same guy hu started the thread i m depressed and devasted ryt!!!
dude how was aieee???
so r u plannin to take comp in ny of the nits?
ya presence of mind is needed but it will come only if ur coordination skills are good...[1][1]
thnx.....bro wel said
tht statement is the ultimate truth behind cracking jee
nd also tht presence of mind thing is so true....
celestine has explained it but adding something from my side..
Silly mistakes happen due to lack of coordination b/w ur brain and hands...
Your brain has stored thousands of GB of information but when u use it in exam,the coordination is not there and as a result u lose marks.
The reason of lack of coordination in my opinion is lack of practice.
I know u would have given a lot of practice tests,but in my opinion giving tests doesnt improve coordination.The only way to improve ur coordination is practice.If u have joined any coaching class,then practice all the questions done in class atleast 20- 30 times before JEE.
If u r doing self-study,then complete the book u r doing seriously 3-4 times atleast.
For eg. if u r doing HCV,then dont do it just once and start doing other books..Stick to it and do the problems again and again,till ur coordination improves.In this way ur speed and time management will also improve.
Doing problems again and again improves ur coordination so much that sometimes when u r doing a question and u are about to commit a mistake,u get a feeling inside u that something wrong is going to happen....at that moment ur hand doesnt move further and comes to a standstill automatically...believe me it is true...
Since u dont have any time left now,so i dont know how u can improve on it...but plzzz dont lose confidence...[1][1]
dude, deepansh,i totally understand what must be going thru' u and i thot it was high tym some one tuk it up as a thread...
"Silly mistakes" is a very common thing that atleast 70% of the guys giving JEE commit, and we all know how many ranks a single mark can cost....silly mustakes have been happeningfrom me for a long tym, and espeacially since the past month(for some strange reason)...my sir says, IITJEE is an exam , thats
"Easy on paper, but tough of mind"...this whole feel of giving a paper thats "gonna determine ur lyf" (so said), makes u do these mistakes...
ill tell u a matter of fact, firstly, what celestine said is a beautiful method to reduce this...
secondly, silly mistakes happen to us due to the lack of "presence of mind"...the best way to restore it is to constantly monitor your self...
after every test, check how many silly mistakes u make...
cheers!!!
its easy for any aspirant to believe that u lost 40 -45 marks cos of this
we too are facing same problems :(
ok im quite better lost only arnd 30 marks bcos of stupidity
thnx.....tht was nic for self realization ........
i seem to be in real danger .....no 1 wud believe it that i lost arnd precious 40-45 marks in jee jus bcz i m of my stupidity .... sumtyms in a hurry i didnt read the ques + loadz of claculation mistakes
those wr lyk real expensive 1nc.....
it happens to every one
dont let it bother ur prep
and have positive thinking
haw many marks are u losing bcos of silly mistakes?
if its 20 - 40 its general
if its more than 40 u r in danger
less than 10 u r great
then either u are low on confidence
2) or, too fickle minded and get tensed on xam day
shut .....up dude u dnt hav idea ...... abt how many full length tests i gav bfr jee
ryt frm 16th nov till 5th april there was no sunday tht i didnt giv a test on
vmc
brilliant
fiitjee
indicates that u lack practice.... give xams as many as u can!!
