Also follow the below tips :-
--------) More than the books you follow what matters is the way you follow them so while going to the chapter focus on understanding the concept go through solved examples and then go through exercise questions
--------) Never pile up your doubts, you should get them cleared otherwise it will be very difficult for you to understand the topics/concepts
--------) Solve previous year question papers , it will help you a lot as question based on the same concepts has been seen to be repeated very often in JEE main examination
--------) Solve mock test papers :- it is very important because it tells you whether you have prepared well for the examination or not and it will also let you know your weak areas so that you can work on them in order to perform better in your actual exam.
