A. The preparation strategy and schedule were prepared by our teachers in the coaching institute and we followed it without being failed. The strategy helped to get the second rank in the JEE Advanced. Along with that, I also appeared for weekly mock tests conducted by the coaching to assess the performance. The mock test helped to know my preparation level and weak areas in the three subjects.
