NTSE

To prepare for the NTSE exam in one month, you must have completed the 9th and 10th grade syllabus in advance. This is because the syllabus of the NTSE is vast, consisting of reasoning, social Science, and math topics. It is impossible to cover the entire syllabus in one month and then practice it as well. Therefore, if you have covered at least 80% of the syllabus in one month, you can follow the given tips:
1. Revise your syllabus as per an analysis of previous year's questions.
2. Make a list of repeating topics from PYQ analysis and revise them multiple times.
3. Practice each section daily from one good practice book of NTSE.
4. In exam-like conditions, administer one full-length test every two days.
5. Improve your score with each test. If you study with hard work and dedication, you can prepare for the NTSE in one month.

The NTSE Stage II is conducted at the national level. Those students who have successfully cleared state-level stage I are required to pass this stage to be awarded scholarships. Because it is sufficiently difficult, you can prepare for Stage 2 by following the expert advice provided:
1. Prepare the 9th and 10th NCERT books of math, Science, and social Science subjects.
2. Create a study schedule for daily and weekly preparation.
3. Revise all topics that you studied for stage one.
4. Use YouTube videos to study the difficult topics.
5. Make short notes on important topics that you can revise before the exam.
6. Solve as many mocks as you can to increase accuracy in the reasoning and math sections.
7. For Science topics, focus on conceptual clarity. Also, take care of your health to ensure your preparation is not affected by health-related issues.

The NTSE preparation is of limited use in preparation for the JEE exam. This is due to the differences in nature and parameters of both exams.
1. The NTSE exam syllabus consists of Biology social Science, and reasoning, whereas the JEE syllabus is oriented on PCM subjects.
2. The NTSE has comparatively easier questions due to the extensive syllabus, whereas the JEE exam requires in-depth knowledge of Physics Chemistry and math.
3. The NTSE is a high school level exam, whereas the JEE exam is conducted for 12th grade students. However, the NTSE preparation helps you cover the basics of Physics Chemistry and math. You can create a study schedule for 11th and 12th grades to help you prepare for the JEE. Also, it gives you confidence to appear for the JEE exam.
