Plan Strategy

Don’t try a new topic : You have very less time now with less than one month for preparation, so don’t try to start a new topic. Starting a new topic may confuse you and it will hamper your revision of already prepared topics.

Optimise your revision : You should revise the notes written in the classrooms and go through the solutions of the problems you have solved earlier. You must try to revise and complete the most scoring topics of every subject first. In Physics, optics, thermodynamics, waves, modern physics and electromagnetism should be completed first. Then you should shift to mechanics. In mathematics you should have a firm command on calculus and coordinate geometry first and only then should you shift to probability, vectors, and complex numbers. In chemistry, physical chemistry should be mastered before inorganic and organic chapters. You must have gone through the previous analysis of JEE Advanced for the better idea of scoring topics.

Mock test your performance:

You can learn as many new concepts as possible but along with that you must test your level of preparation. Most of you thought of completing the syllabus before taking practice tests. You must appear on multiple mock tests (at least five to six) before appearing for the final exam. With every test, analyse your performance, the mistakes you've made and make a note of the chapters or subject areas you need to focus on.

Try to get a balanced score:

You have to ensure that you have a balanced score in each subject. It is found with a vast majority of students that their two subjects are strong and one is relatively average and to secure a good rank you have to be equally proficient in all the three subject.Lastly,

before the exam, students should relax their minds.
