JEE tips

Revise The universal law of gravitation with a one-page formula sheet before attempting mixed tests
After each practice set, log mistakes specific to The universal law of gravitation and reattempt after 48 hours
Revise Acceleration due to gravity and its variation with altitude and depth with a one-page formula sheet before attempting mixed tests
After each practice set, log mistakes specific to Acceleration due to gravity and its variation with altitude and depth and reattempt after 48 hours

Common trap

Students often rush The universal law of gravitation questions without checking units, sign conventions, or boundary conditions — always verify assumptions before calculating.
