The concepts on which questions have been asked in previous years should be studied. Solving previous year papers will also help in analyzing the self preparation level, mistakes we are making and topics which need to be covered.

3.) Study NCERT and NCERT

If there’s one single book which can assure success in JEE Main, it has to be NCERT. Saurabh Kumar, Director of Academics at Vidyamandir Classes says, there is no better book than NCERT to understand the basic concepts.

Students should study NCERT completely, all the chapters, and solve the questions asked in the last of chapter. If this is done seriously, half the work is done. After studying NCERT, students need to practice and revise it regularly.

4.) Practice Mock Test

It is very important that students practice JEE Main mock test papers. This will help in analyzing the preparation level, topics which need more attention and mistakes student is making. Online mock tests are available free of costs on NTA website, NTA’s National Test Abhyas app and also over the internet.

5.) Time Management during Exam

Many students face the issue of time during the exam due to poor management of hours. Students should note that every question need to be given a fixed time. If any question is not getting solved or is taking more than the required time, students should move to the next question and solve it later.
