JEE Advanced 2018 is all set to be held on May 20. With approximately two month left for the exam, the preparations for the exam is likely to be at its peak. According to the official website, this year, top 2.4 lakh aspirants of JEE Main will be taking the exam.
According to R.L Trikha, Director, FIITJEE, students should avoid selective study few days before the exam. Number of questions being large in objective type papers, all major concepts/topics are likely to be covered with intermingling of the concepts of various topics in the same question in some of questions.

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.
Periodic checking of progress made by solving Quizzes/Mock Test Paper on regular basis. Idea is to increase speed & accuracy as a result of working on weak areas known from the attempts.
While preparing and revising all the chapters - Physics, Chemistry & Mathematics – of JEE Advanced, as per well prepared chapter wise topic wise time table, based on our past experience stress may be given by students on the following topics with likely major share in Question papers.
Mathematics: Quadratic Equations & Expressions, Complex Numbers, Probability, Vectors, Matrices in Algebra; Circle, Parabola, Hyperbola in Coordinate Geometry; Functions, Limits, Continuity and Differentiability, Application of Derivatives, Definite Integral in Calculus.
