JEE Main 2020 Exam Day: Things to Remember

  • At this last moment, don’t try to study any new topic. It will confuse you before the exam.
  • Instead of reading new topics, you should revise all the important formulae and concepts two to three times before the exam. However, revision should be done from the books from which you have prepared so far not from a new book.
  • In the exam hall, first of all, read all the instructions on the exam paper very carefully.
  • After reading the instructions, you should read the entire question paper before starting solving them.
  • You must prepare a plan on how to approach the paper. Solve the easier questions first and then the ones which are a bit complicated and lastly the questions that may require a lot of time to solve.
  • Don't waste time on any question. If you can’t find a solution, leave it for later by using the “Save & Mark for Review” option. After completing the paper, you can revisit the leftover questions.
  • Don’t panic during the exam.
