Hi

First of all, there is no ‘easy strategy’ for Maths, Physics, Chemistry in JEE MAINS. Students that crack this exam, with a good rank have done it through hard work and perseverance. That said, this does not mean that you cannot prepare for this exam, you can get a good rank if you are willing to put into efforts. You can follow these tips to AID your preparation for the upcoming exam.

Start with the NCERT

NCERT books form the base for the JEE entrance exams, especially for the JEE Main. A common mistake made by many students is to start with reference books directly while their concepts and theoretical knowledge are not very strong.

NCERT books will give you a firm grounding of concepts and, thus, are the best books to start your preparation. It is also worth noting that 60-70% of the JEE Main paper is based on NCERT books. However, they are not enough for practical questions.

Make a routine for yourself.

Nope, not a detailed one. Just a list of the subjects you want to read daily in the upcoming days. Don’t list down what topics you would read.

Get a copy of the syllabus for Mains printed.

This is more of a confidence-boosting thing as you can keep a track of how much you are prepared. Seeing the prepared things crossed off some list helps calm our erratic mindset in the remaining months and helps boost self-confidence.

Solve as many practice papers you can. If you feel you are prepared in a particular subject, go through the previous years question papers and solve them keeping in mind the time you have allotted to that subject for yourself during the actual exam. Don’t focus on the marks you are getting. Focus on improving your speed and accuracy. And that requires a lot of practice. I, for one, had given around 30 full length papers keeping the time in mind. As an added challenge, in some papers, I used to keep 2:30 hrs time instead of the normal 3 hrs time so as to improve on my speed, and it helped a great deal.

If you have a limited time, you can follow these points:

1. Advisably, you should spend 4-5 hours daily for theory revision and finish off theory part. Understand your learning pattern and which chapters you like and in which chapters you need to work more.
2. For next 2-3 weeks make sure that you give one full syllabus JEE Main or Advanced type mock test every alternate day. Spend the remaining part of that day in detailed analysis of the paper and again reading theory. This will further improve your speed.
3. In last 14-15 days, try to solve variety of questions from all the study material available to you.

I hope this helps.
