The reaction from the students after the exam during last year’s JEE Main showed that, some found it to be tougher and lengthier, others found the difficulty levels at par with the previous year Main exam.
Thus, always attempt theoretical/fact based questions first and then questions which require calculation.
1. Attempt online mock tests - Rigorous revision and attempting several mock tests will help them get thorough with subjects and concept clarification and keep them well updated with the current trend and pattern of JEE Mains exam. Taking Mock Test and having a real time analysis have been found to be quite useful and students tend to learn from the mistakes and hence avoid repeating them on the D-Day.

Right strategy along with time management plays a pivotal role in deciding the exam results. So, practice enough to be quick to adapt to the level of the paper and act promptly.
4. Follow a reputed source - Start the preparations with NCERT books, since they form the basis for both the exams having a good conceptual base and simple to understand. Follow question banks from reputed source and solve them in a reputed manner which helps in efficient practice for the Main 2018.
5. Resolve your doubts: Always clear your doubts from teachers, mentors, peers and never hesitate in asking questions.
Sometimes smart work prevails hard work and preparing strategically ensures a better performance in comparison to the peers. Adaptability and swift response to questions comes with regular practice and hence making the most of the available time in revision helps in scoring better.
Focus more on polishing the strengths by consistent revision to perfect the concepts. Creating self- written notes helps one to memorize the formulae, tips and trick and are very helpful during JEE preparation and easy to revise.
Taking some time to relax or rest also prepares the brain to recollect the learnt things on your fingertips. Keep calm but do not lose focus as temperament plays a vital role in JEE success.
