How to prepare for JEE Main

  • Know the Class 11 and 12 NCERT chapters thoroughly before moving to harder problems.
  • Practise numerical-value questions separately: there are no options to help you.
  • Take timed mock tests every week to build speed and learn which questions to skip.
  • Keep a mistake notebook and redo wrong questions after a week.
  • Give equal time to Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. Chemistry is often the quickest marks.
