He further suggests that students should keep themselves focused & should strictly follow a well-planned time table of revision. During practice sessions of attempting mock test papers, student should aim at 100% hit rate i.e. all attempted questions should be correct. This will enable competitive edge over others who will be left behind in the race due to negative marking on incorrect attempts.
Question carrying no negative marking must be attempted since there is nothing to lose with fairly good chance of maximising marks. Speed & accuracy will also allow to finish JEE Advance papers ahead of time, leaving some time for attempting revision & solving balance un-attempted questions.
