5. Practice is essential: One needs to solve a good number of papers of GUJCET. You can start with an easy level of questions and gradually you can switch over to difficult questions. Identify the difficult questions and repeat them later.JEE Main practice papers can also be used as both the exams have almost the same syllabus. Mock tests and practice of previous year questions will assist you in recognizing the weightage of different concepts and difficulty level of GUJCET.

Suggestions for Physics

You should be able to visualise the concept and that is only possible if you understand the concept well. Formulas must be retained in such a way that every formula must be on fingertips. A minimum of three hours should be fixed to solve MCQs and improve your speed to solve the MCQs. Important topics that need to be covered for the GUJCET Physics exam are as follows: Current electricity, Heat, and thermodynamics, electrostatics, magnetic effect of current and magnetism, a wave of optics, physics of nucleus, semiconductor electronics and atoms. As far as books are concerned "concepts of physics by HC Verma” can be referred and “Fundamental of physics by Halliday Walker and Resnick”  

Suggestions For Chemistry

Try to make notes of all essential equations, formulas, and reactions and practice them regularly. Try to solve a reasonable number of questions for every topic. Do not break the regularity. Important topics of chemistry include chemical kinetics, chemical bonding, general organic chemistry, p block elements II, chemical equilibrium and coordination compounds. The important books are Physical chemistry by RC Mukherji and Organic Chemistry by Morison Boyd.   

Suggestions For Mathematics

Do not try to mug up the steps to solve the questions. Try to understand the concept first and the same is applicable when you try to adopt the short cut method. Solve the questions daily. Important topics for Mathematics include the concept of vectors, probability, three-dimensional geometry, indefinite integration, definite integration, Permutation and combination, and complex numbers. Suggested books for Mathematics are as follows: Class XI and XII Mathematics by RS Aggarwal and Problems in Calculus of One Variable by IA Maron.
