By: Hrishabh Sahu

JEE Mains is one of the most important and valuable engineering entrance exams. For students preparing for JEE 2020 to be held from January 6-10, here are some tips that can help you sail through the last 20 days:

Preparation ideas:

1. Don't depend fully on coaching for your result. The main role in getting a good score is played by our own selves. We should focus on self-study.
2. As for last week before the exam, we can't study full syllabus line to line, so focus on those topics that have more weightage in the exam.
3. Try to solve all the previous years’ question papers up to five years so that you will get an idea of the type of questions asked.
4. Try to understand the concepts instead of solving each question so that you can cover more topics in lesser time.

Time management:

1. Time is the most valuable thing during the exam, hence don't waste your time on the questions which you don’t understand. Just mark them and go ahead.
2. Make targets to complete a particular subject in a fixed time.
3. Read all the questions carefully once so that you do not have to read them again and again. This will definitely save your time.
4. Start with chemistry and try to complete it within 30 minutes.

Scoring topics:

1. Chemistry is a subject that plays a big role in the result. So try to score more in chemistry.
2. Try to be accurate and correct while attempting a question.
3. After solving the previous year’s question papers, you will get to know which topics are important and how much time you have to give them for preparing.

Revision plans:

1. While studying, note down important formulas and points so that you can read them quickly in the last time and this quick revision will help you a lot.
2. Don’t go for full book reading during revision.
3. Make some useful tricks to remember the concepts because that way you can easily answer the related questions.

Managing 12th along with JEE

1. Both JEE Mains and 12^th boards require physics, chemistry and mathematics. You just have to put on a little extra effort on the language subjects.
2. 12^th score is not much important nowadays. Just focus on getting a respectable score in Class 12^th and put your main target onto clearing the JEE Mains.
