Online classes: Online classes are provided by almost all the educational institutions including schools, colleges and coaching centres. Virtual learning provides students with the convenience of picking up a batch-time which suits them. Hence, students are advised to manage their day properly and wisely with adequate break gaps so that they can extract maximum benefit from their online tutorials. Besides, they should not hesitate in reaching out to their teachers in order to get their doubts clarified. They should also incorporate the habit of making short notes during the online sessions to gain a better grip over the important concepts.

Mock tests: JEE Main Mock test is a very important tool, which helps students in assessing their level and growth. Hence, it is important for them to take mock test daily. In case they don’t have access to the current mock tests, they can attempt previous years’ papers. While taking a mock test, students should always time themselves as it helps them in assessing their speed and keeping themselves on track, while not missing on any question due to paucity of time.

Subject-wise study: Students should form a study plan on the basis of subjects, on which they have better and not so great grip. Start your day with subjects which need more preparation and dedicate more time to build on your weak points. It is important to spend more time on complex topics and solve questions on a daily basis, while not forgetting to brush up the concepts of less difficult topics.

Revision: Revision plays a significant role in bettering students’ understanding of key concepts and definitions. Hence its is highly recommended to include revision time in their study plans so that they can revisit and keep in mind important formulas, method of calculations and explanations.

Besides studying, it is important for students to pay equal attention to their mental and physical health. Hence, they should continue to follow standard hygiene practices and incorporate frequent breaks and make time to exercise regularly to stay fit and healthy. In order to keep the stress away, students can also indulge in any indoor sport or spend time with their families and practice meditation. Since the exam date is now out, students should try to increase their focus on preparation and follow a strict and healthy regime. Last, but not the least, never undermine the importance of eating nutritious food and taking immunity boosting diet.
