Frequently Asked Questions

Our videos are concise (5 minutes), concept-focused, and created by IIT alumni with extensive teaching experience. They emphasize conceptual understanding, problem-solving strategies, and topic interconnections rather than just solved examples.

We recommend a first viewing before starting the topic to understand the concept framework and important sub-topics. Watch again after studying to reinforce connections and gather advanced problem-solving strategies.

Mind maps in our videos show interconnections between different topics (like relating Integration with Area, or Chemical Bonding with Properties). This helps in solving complex problems that combine multiple concepts.

Start with foundational topics (like Functions in Maths, Chemical Bonding in Chemistry, or Kinematics in Physics) before moving to advanced topics. Each video suggests prerequisites and follow-up topics.

Topic weightage helps prioritize your preparation. Focus more practice time on high-weightage topics while ensuring basic understanding of all concepts. This is especially crucial in the last months of preparation.

These videos provide a strategic overview and essential techniques. Combine them with recommended books, practice problems, and previous year questions for comprehensive preparation.

Create structured notes focusing on key points, formulae, and solving techniques. Note down topic interconnections and common mistake warnings. Update these notes as you solve more problems.

First, revise the concept using recommended books. Then solve basic problems, gradually moving to complex ones. Finally, attempt previous year questions on that topic and review the video if needed.

During revision, these videos help quickly recap entire concepts. Focus on the mind maps and solving techniques sections to refresh your memory and strategy.

Yes, their concise format makes them perfect for quick revision. Focus on the weightage information and problem-solving techniques sections for efficient last-minute preparation.

Each video includes a section on common errors and misconceptions, helping you avoid typical mistakes in both concept understanding and problem-solving.

Videos include techniques suitable for both exams. Advanced level shortcuts and methods are specifically marked for JEE Advanced preparation.

Review videos after completing related topics, before mock tests, and during final revision. Each viewing can provide new insights as your understanding develops.

Each concept video comes with suggested practice problems. Solve them to assess your understanding and identify areas needing more attention.

Yes, each video includes quick calculation tips and shortcuts specific to the topic, helping improve solving speed for competitive exams.
