Preparation Tips for JEE Main 2023 Session 1
Avoid studying at night- With only a few days remaining for the exam, students sometimes tend to study late at night with a lower brain cognitive strength as compared to early in the morning when it is at an all day high, making preparing for the exam in the morning better than in the night.
Time Management- Time plays a crucial role in studying and clearing any competitive exam and as the previous year trend suggests, the JEE main paper is often lengthy and students sometimes don’t get enough time to solve the whole paper making cutting down time taken for solving each question important.
Solving the higher weightage questions first- Make it a habit of solving the higher weightage questions first while attempting the real entrance exam and all the mock tests as well.
Learn from the mistakes and move on- Students will often hit bumps while preparing for the highly competitive exam and it is important to learn from those mistakes and move on. Build on the foundation, clear the concepts to nail the entrance exam.
Mock Tests- Solving mock tests will make the students aware about what topics need attention and also help in time management.
Revision- A student always advised to revise topics from time to time to ensure their grip and learning of that specific topic. Learning and building on fundamentals from NCERT Books can be beneficial for students.
This last month before the exam must be intelligently used by every aspirant to enhance his/her problem solving skills and completely strengthening their hold on concepts involved while cutting down the amount of time needed to solve any problem.
