JEE Main is the biggest engineering entrance examination conducted across the country. More than 10 lakh students take this exam to secure a seat in the prestigious engineering colleges of the country. JEE Main is also a qualifying examination for JEE Advanced.
JEE (Main) is a game of speed and accuracy. With barely five days to go, I would advise students to focus on effective revision and test taking skills by following these tips to score well in the exam.
– Do systematic but a quick revision to recapitulate whatever you have learned in past.
– Prepare short notes of formulas, and important point for last days’ revision.
– Don’t try to learn any new topic when the exam is just days ahead. Rather concentrate on the topics that you have learned in past. You should look at the breadth rather than the depth of the subject.
– If you have a good command over 80% of JEE syllabus, then you can rest assured that success is a given, provided you translate your knowledge into a good score during those three hours. Test taking skills are necessary.
– Practice as many tests as you can under strict examination like environment to tune your mind for the D-Day.
– To score well in these competitive exams, you must know which questions to attempt but more importantly, which ones to leave. Analyze your performance and identify your strengths and weaknesses.
– Identify the silly mistakes you are committing often and make a note of these for last minute revision.
– While attempting the question paper, do not get de-motivated or overexcited. Keep your balance. De-motivation will make even easy questions appear tough, and overconfidence will make you commit silly mistakes.
– Do not get depressed by tough questions. Instead, remind yourself that these are tough for every aspirant.
– Do not get emotionally attached to any question. It is not necessary that you will be able to solve a question from topics you have prepared well.
– Focus on your Goal. Believe in yourself. Organize yourself. You will hit the target.
My best wishes to all the aspirants of JEE Main. Go ahead and give it your best.
