Q:   How can I improve my chances of cracking OJEE in three months?
A:

Three months for OJEE preparation may require students to put in a little more effort. They must bifurcate their study plan in parts, dedicating each month/phase to covering a specific portion of the OJEE preparation. For instance, first phase can focus on key topics, weightage, exam pattern, etc. The second phase can focus on revision of what the student has studied and third phase can be dedicated to practice and taking mock tests regularly.

After taking mock tests, thoroughly review and analyse your performance. Identify areas where you made mistakes and work on improving them. Identify your weaker areas in each section and prioritize them in your study plan. Spend more time improving these areas. While doing so, try capitalising on your strengths. Along with qualitative study sessions, candidates should also keep away from usual distractions such as social media, mobile phones to improve their prospects in OJEE exam. They must focus on their fundamentals and basics. 

OJEE 2025 Preparation: Phase II

The second phase of OJEE preparation 2025 should be dedicated to practising mock tests and sample papers. Once you have covered the entire OJEE syllabus move on to practicing the mock tests which will help you to assess your preparations and your grasp on every topic.

Solving OJEE mock tests and previous years’ question papers will increase your speed and accuracy. This will also acquaint you with the OJEE exam pattern and the type of questions that will be asked in the exam. Even though the OJEE exam does not have a sectional time limit, speed does play a big role in fetching good marks. The duration of the exam is two hours and the candidates need to solve 120 questions. Since there would not be much time to read the questions and there is negative marking, solving mock tests and previous years’ OJEE question papers is essential if you want to increase your speed and accuracy.
