Q: How did you manage mistakes while preparing for JEE Main?

A: Whenever I made any mistakes in mock tests, I tried to classify it. I used to classify it as either silly mistakes, ideas not striking or calculation errors. For silly mistakes, I used to revisit the question again after two or three days to correct it. As for unattempted questions, I checked for its references in NCERT. If I did not find the references in NCERT, then I used to ask my teachers. If I found any question difficult in Physics and Mathematics, I used to try to find multiple solution methods to solve it.

A: Whenever I faced difficult questions in JEE Main exam, I did not hesitate to skip it for the time being. I believe that rather than spending time on a question I have difficulty solving, it is better to attempt easier questions. This helps to build my confidence and manage my time.

Q: Are you preparing for JEE Advanced? How have you started your preparation?

A: After JEE Main, I took a break for two or three days. After the break, I started to review those Chemistry topics, which were not required for JEE Main, but are present in the JEE Advanced syllabus. I have also attempted many mock tests until now in preparation for JEE Advanced.
