Although I am an MBA student, at present, I was preparing for JEE Main in 2014 before I made a switch. I have been there and done that so I know the pressure JEE Main 2020 aspirants must be feeling right now with only a few days left to the exam. I will help you in breaking down the topics from the subjects that are prime for JEE Main 2020. 

Chemistry 

In Chemistry, there are three parts organic, inorganic and physical. For Physical Chemistry, study NCERT  and previous years’ JEE Main questions. This would be enough. For Organic, follow the NCERT. However, an important tip is that make sure you study maximum from Class 11th and 12th syllabus. In Inorganic Chemistry, you can score well by studying all NCERT books and previous years’ question papers as most of the time questions are actually repeated.

For JEE Main, attempt all the questions from 2013 till now. If the questions repeat you can directly solve and can get an idea of how to solve them. Pick a new chapter everyday because you have to crack and do it quickly as soon as possible. Also, at this time don’t study chapters you are weak in, revise the ones you are good at.

Physics

In Physics, three parts are important, Modern Physics, Electro Magnetism and Optics. In JEE Main paper, solve first the section you are comfortable with, then solve other sections because this will save your time and you can use the remaining time in other sections.

Try solving Chemistry first to save time.
