Tackle each subject differently:
Here we will list out on how to execute your preparation strategy for individual subjects.
- Physics: As the key here is conceptual clarity, it is very much advised that after completing each topic you solve the related problems then and there. This will help you retain the concepts for a longer period.
- Chemistry: Chemical equations are the thorn of this subject. Practice as many questions as possible to learn the equations in the best possible manner.
- Mathematics: Try to develop shortcuts and algorithms to solve different types of questions by yourself. This is possible only if you practice numerous questions and recognise set patterns to solve them.
Time Management
As there is so little time and so much to study, it is essential that you utilise your time sensibly. Be selective and rigid while you choose your topics of study. Invest time in practicing questions, rather than mugging up the concepts. This is because you will understand the topics only when you practice related numericals.
Create a timetable which can be executed effectively. Adhere to it! Make short-term goals and try to finish the topics within the time you have allotted for them. Allot at least a fortnight for revision of the subjects. Personalise the study schedule and plan according to your personal capability.
Practice as many Mock Tests as you can
Get enrolled in an online mock test series to get a hands on experience regarding the exam. Solve as many mock tests as possible to get the knack of the trending questions and make your strategies to tackle them accordingly. As the tests will hold the same degree of uncertainty as the actual exam, you will be prepared for questions ranging from easy to difficult. Also, the more you participate in the test series, the more prepared you will be for the actual exam.
Get down to Revision
As you are revising, make short notes or flashcards. This will save you from stress when you start your last minute revision. Flashcards help a candidate to go through every topic in a holistic manner in the pivotal moments. Jot down all the important formulae and chemical reactions onto the flashcards. Go through previous year question papers too. This is very vital. Previous year papers will help you get a glimpse of what JEE Main is all about.
What if you are stuck on a particular topic and do not see a way out?
As there is a time crunch for the preparation of this session, it is very essential that you do not waste the precious hours left to count. Start with the basic topics, from where the questions are bound to come. Be thorough in them. Switch onto the difficult topics then. If you are not able to get around a particular topic, then consult a teacher or mentor regarding the same rather than wasting time trying to work it out on your own.
Try not to leave any topic for the last leg as create panic and confusion.
The Way Ahead
