The mother of all engineering entrance exams, JEE Main 2020 is barely 5 days away (2nd April 2020). Most of you must be getting the jitters & losing sleep over formulae, equations & theorems. And the rest of you would be losing your mind over WHAT TO STUDY in these last 5 days? After all, you’ve been slogging for JEE Main 2020 for the last two years!

Here are some last minute tips for you to crack that JEE Exam you have been working so hard for:

1. Don’t Start a New Topic

You should not start any new topic and instead just re-visit your basic fundamentals, formulas and derivations. Revise and revisit what you’ve already prepared. Studying a new topic is a big NO and will only lead to more confusion for you. It is better to be completely confident about the things you know than to walk into the examination hall with incomplete information about a new topic. Just go through your notes and revise the topics you’ve already prepared.

2. Re-visit the Important Topics

Some important topics that need to be revised for JEE Main 2020 would be Coordinate Geometry and Calculus in Mathematics, Electromagnetism and Modern Physics in Physics and Chemical & Ionic Equilibrium and Aromatic Compounds in Chemistry.

3. Make Mistakes!

While solving mock tests, make all the mistakes you can and then go back to analyse where you went wrong. This is similar to the exercise of facing all fears head on! You might as well make those silly mistakes while you can afford to. So if you fumble while taking mock JEE Main papers, don’t get flustered. These mistakes will ensure that you don’t repeat them on the D-day.

4. Hail NCERT textbooks!

Your JEE Main preparation should be based on the NCERT syllabus. You should be thorough with the NCERT syllabus and concepts. It is imperative to get your concepts cleared with the help of NCERT textbooks. Your JEE Main preparations should have their foundation on NCERT books.

5. Previous Years’ JEE Main Papers

You should go through and solve the last five years’ JEE Main papers. The JEE Main exam pattern changed after 2007, so beyond that, there is no point looking at the papers. Solving previous years’ JEE Main question papers will prepare you psychologically to face JEE Main with more confidence, as you’ve already tested the waters with the last years’ papers.

6. Tune your Biological Clock

If you’re used to studying in the wee hours of the night & sleeping throughout the day, it’s time to reverse your body’s clock! In the last week leading to JEE Main 2020 exam, make sure that you are up & about during the timings that the exam is scheduled otherwise you’re bound to feel sleepy in the middle of the exam! You should be getting sufficient sleep and waking up at the same time as you would on the exam day. Each day during the exam hours you should be solving mock tests and JEE Main papers to be able to manage time and get your body used to the exam day schedule and timing.

7. Practice does Make you Perfect!

Sounds clichéd but that’s because it’s true! “When you are not practising, remember, someone somewhere is practising and when you meet him, he will win”. Ed Macauley, a professional basketball player said this, but it holds true for your IIT-JEE preparation as well!
What could give you an edge over others, who’ve learnt the same things from the same set of books, is practice. You can access some JEE Main Mock Tests here or also get JEE Main mock paper sets from your coaching centres.

8. Rest & Relax

Watch a movie, go jogging, play a game of football, meditate or practice yoga - indulge in any of these or other activities that would relax & calm you.

Face JEE Main 2020 with confidence & assurance in your preparation. Remember, it is just another exam & not the end of the world. Irrespective of how your paper goes, a wonderful life awaits you!
