JEE Mains is one of the most competitive exams for engineering students to get admissions in the top universities like IITs and NITs. It is crucial for students to prepare well for the exam to crack the exam in one go. Here are some preparation tips for JEE Mains aspirants to crack the exam.

1. Understand the Exam Pattern & Syllabus

Before you start preparing for the exam, thoroughly go through the exam pattern and understand the exam pattern. The knowledge of exam patterns is crucial to ensure that preparation is going in the right direction. Deeply go through the exam mode, important topics to be asked, sections, total questions, marking scheme, section wise question distribution and important topics and high weighting topics. You can download the syllabus from the NTA website for the JEE Mains Exam.

2. Subject-Wise Preparation Tips

Thoroughly analyse the syllabus for each subject and deeply analyse the high weightage topics in each subject. Focus on clarity of the topic and do not only memorize the formulas specially for physics and mathematics. Focus on reaction mechanisms and organic chemistry.

3. Create a Realistic Study Plan

Instead of making an unrealistic study plan, focus on creating a realistic achievable study plan at first. The less is more. Choose quality over quantity. Study for 6 hours but make sure that you are studying with complete focus and understanding the topics. If you start feeling  a foggy brain, stop and take a break and then start again.

4. Practice Mock Tests & Previous Year Papers

Practice is crucial. Attempt at least 2-3 full-length mock tests per week. Analyze your mistakes and weak concepts and focus on these topics again after every test. Practice at least past 10 years of question papers for better understanding of questions and exam patterns. Practicing previous year question papers will also help you to build the confidence and time management skills.

5. Strengthen Time Management Skills

While attempting the JEE Mains Exam, time is key. The students must make sure that they have enough time to attempt all the sections in the paper. Attempt those questions first which are easy and from the topics you have a strong grip on. Do not give too much to a single question. You can always visit the question in later stages.

6. Revision Strategy

Once you have completed the topic, keep on revising the topic to ensure that you do not forget it later on. Make short notes & formula sheets for quick revision. Revise the high weightage topics multiple times.

7. Stay Consistent & Healthy

Stay consistent with your studies and avoid taking long study gaps. Taking long gaps might result in laziness. Also, keep yourself healthy by consuming a healthy diet and keeping your mind and body in the best state.
