Understanding JEE Mains

The challenges of JEE Mains should be understood before the start of revision. It deals with a huge syllabus in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. So, one needs to be strong on fundamental principles and their applications. With negative marking and time constraints, the importance of accuracy and speed increases, which calls for systematic revision.

Planning Your Revision Strategy

Revision planning forms the beginning of effective revision. Make a proper timetable in which adequate time is provided for each subject based on the student's strengths and weaknesses. Allot different days to each subject and solve 10-15 questions each day, but emphasize high-weightage topics such as Thermodynamics and Calculus. Integrate breaks into the routine with the Pomodoro method, and thus one stays focused.
