Every aspirant is preparing hard to score 300+ in JEE Main 2020. It's a dream score and it can be possible if you have the potential, the accuracy, good time management, right material for study and a successful exam plan.
There are few ways that can help you ace JEE Main 2020 and emerge as a top scorer:
JEE Main Study Material
Most important part of your study plan is books and study material. Every coaching centre has its own booklets and notes. So if you have coaching try to read from your coaching booklets or their notes.
For those who don't have coaching, try to join Distance Learning Program (DLP) by this join any good coaching DLP program as mentioned above they provide their coaching materials at your home such as booklets, test series, question booklets on topic wise, etc., try to solve it on regular basis. There are notes are easily understandable and online problem-solving service also provide.
Try to buy Arihant 42 years, it will help you to solve the actual JEE problem that comes previously.

Most Scoring JEE Main Subjects
Try to solve more and more questions on Chemistry specially inorganic and organic is important.
In Physics, Modern Physics is scorable. Keep revising formula again and again as some questions will be asked directly on formula-based. In Mathematics, Calculus, Matrices and Determinant are scorable topics. From here you can solve more than 60% of questions.
Class 12th Physics section is easy as compared to 11 Physics, so try to solve 12 section first.
JEE Main Revision Plan
This is the most important thing that everyone wants to know. In my opinion, regular revision of each topic is a must. Suppose you have learned some new topics at the centre, try to revise the same day at your home, too. And make a week revision strategy on Sunday. As we know that morning is the best time to study.
Try to solve the All India Test Series (AITS) or they also provide to give this examination on centre so that you can get the experience of JEE examination. Try to solve 42-year JEE problems as you directly interact with JEE questions and try to solve them in less time. Arihant Formula books are helpful for revisions of all formula topic wise.
There is no need to study that topic which you are not able to understand. Some topics may be hard for students so don't focus on that area. Focus on that area in which you have a strong approach and also while studying try to relate these things to real-life examples as this will help to memorize and you will easily get understand.
JEE Main Test Paper Self-Evaluation
This is also important for every student. In this, self-solving question papers are the best technique to score more in the examination and a good strategy to study. Try to solve first topic-wise paper from various coaching institutes. And also put a timer in front of you so that you will be able to better prepare for exams. The sample paper are most helpful as some questions may be similar in the examination. After solving evaluate yourself and find mistakes and try to make corrections and read that problem again and solve so that it will help you to memorise.

With a JEE Main percentile of 90.94 and CRL rank ~1.4 Lacs (female, general category), you have realistic chances in mid-tier NITs (later rounds), state government colleges, and strong private universities in Tamil Nadu and Bangalore for ECE/EEE. Top NITs/IIITs are unlikely, but good regional option

Why?
- NITs/IIITs/GFTIs Cutoffs:
