1.) Understand Syllabus
JEE Main syllabus is vast and has topics from class 11 and 12 Physics, Chemistry and Maths. For every student, some topics of JEE Main syllabus are easy and some are difficult. Students need to point out the strong topics and study them wholeheartedly. Topics which seem hard need to be studied again and again till you get the concept and for this, study from NCERT books.
It is very important that students have good command of all the important topics. Leave nothing untouched and study the entire syllabus.
2.) Evaluate Previous Year Papers
Previous year papers of JEE Main are a power house of knowledge for every student. Mrdiul Agarwal, JEE Main 2021 March topper who score perfect 360 score with 100 percentile says, “I extensively practiced JEE Main question papers from previous years as it helps to know what type of questions are asked in exam and their difficulty level”.
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.
