How to Prepare for KVPY Chemistry

 

How to Prepare KVPY Chemistry - This is the exam where your analytical and aptitude skills going to be tested. As we all know the KVPY exam is a scholarship program and it's funded by the department of science and technology of government of India to encourage students to take up research careers in the sciences. The aspirant who qualifies the exam are eligible for the fellowship and it also served as an entrance exam to various top colleges and institution in India such as IISC & IISER.  As the KVPY 2019 exam will be held on 3rd November 2019 so, you have very little time for preparation. in this article, we are focusing on how to prepare for KVPY chemistry subject.

In order to know the preparational strategy for how to prepare KVPY chemistry then you must know the syllabus, best study material, how to manage time, etc. Through this article, we will tell you how to prepare for KVPY chemistry subject and these tips and tricks will help you to score well in KVPY 2019 exam.

How to Prepare for KVPY Chemistry- Tips & Tricks

KVPY Chemistry Preparation tip 1 - Understand the KVPY Syllabus of Chemistry Subject

As we all know there is no prescribed syllabus for the exam, so, one of the most important points that you should keep in your mind is you should know the entire syllabus. Without knowing the syllabus you won’t be able to do complete justice the KVPY exam, because the paper is based on the entire course. If you don’t know the syllabus thoroughly you won’t be able to solve the paper correctly.

KVPY Chemistry Preparation tip 2 - Previous Year Question Papers

One of the best solutions of how to prepare for KVPY chemistry is referring to KVPY's previous year question papers to help you by providing the necessary information about the KVPY syllabus and topics covered in the exam. Previous Year KVPY Question Papers also helps in determining the weightage of marks allotted thereby allowing you to plan your preparation strategy for the exam. When you start your preparation, you will know your weaknesses and strengths. Every topic or question appears almost equally easy when you solve it from a book. However, you’ll realize whether you actually know the topic only after facing it in the previous year question papers. Thorough knowledge of strengths and weaknesses is absolutely essential to deciding your strategy to attempt the KVPY papers.

KVPY Chemistry Preparation tip 3 - Practice makes you perfect

In the KVPY 2019 exam, the chemistry section is the easiest one. While solving and practicing as many papers as possible aids in strengthening one’s grip on the subject. This makes you well abreast of solving different questions in the least time without the worry of losing marks or leaving any question unattempted. The more question papers you solve and the more you become familiar with the type of question being asked in the KVPY exam. Solving KVPY’s Exam Papers also helps you to improve your calculation speed and skills necessary to crack the test.it  will help you in cutting down the unnecessary errors and mistakes.

KVPY Chemistry Preparation tip 4 - Time Management

If you are thorough with the chemistry topics and every concept and question, it’s time to work on your timings. When you start solving the mock tests, the previous year question paper will help you to know how much time you’ll need to complete each question type. This strategy helping you not only for chemistry subject but other subjects also. Once you identify the crucial topic and subjects as per your understanding, you can make your time-table so as to devote special time for those topics and subject. 

KVPY Chemistry Preparation tip 5 - Points to Remember while you are preparing for KVPY Chemistry

  • As we know the chemistry subject is divided into 3 parts- Organic Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, and Physical Chemistry. Each part carries different weightage but physical organic is the most scoring part.
  • For Inorganic Chemistry- learn general trends of elements first, understand the concept and then memorize it with the help of analogical sentences.
    • For example: In electronegativity series of elements, decreasing electronegativity series F,O,N,Cl,Br, I,S,C,H this can be memorized as "FONe Call Brother IS Coming Home".  So, just like this, you can make similar analogical sentences for different series.
  • For Organic Chemistry - Keep in mind the solvents and reaction conditions of different mechanisms to get the correct answer.
  • For Physical Chemistry - it is advised to solve more number of numerical to get good marks.
