Your JEE study plan
Revise NCERT chemistry with examples
Build short cards for reactions, definitions and exceptions from your notes. Attach a worked example to each rule and check it against the chapter.
Use errors to plan physics and maths practice
Classify errors as a missing concept, a calculation error or a misread question. Rework the question, then solve a different problem that uses the same idea.

JEE sample questions
Original practice questions, not official exam papers.
Motion in a straight line
A ball is thrown straight up. At its highest point, what is its acceleration?
- Zero
- g, downward
- g, upward
- It depends on the throw speed
Check answer
Right. The acceleration is g, downward, for the whole flight.
Periodicity
Which of these has the highest first ionisation enthalpy?
- Boron
- Carbon
- Nitrogen
- Oxygen
Check answer
Right. Nitrogen’s half-filled 2p³ subshell makes its first ionisation enthalpy higher than oxygen’s.
Differentiation
What is the derivative of x·sin x?
- cos x
- sin x + x cos x
- x cos x
- sin x − x cos x
Check answer
Right. d/dx (x sin x) = sin x + x cos x.
