🚨 Take 2 mins to read this carefully, it could save you from losing marks on exam day! 🚨
Hey Aspirants! 👋
With JEE Mains 2026 Session 2 starting from April 2nd, we are in the absolute final stretch. You've worked incredibly hard to get here, and now it's all about executing your strategy perfectly.
Here are some highly effective, expert-backed tips collected from toppers' experiences to help you maximize your score, manage your time, and avoid those dreaded silly mistakes on exam day.
📚 Before the Exam Day: What to Do
• STRICTLY No New Topics: Trying to learn new concepts now will only trigger anxiety and confusion. Trust the hard work you have already put in.
• Revise Formulas & Short Notes: Spend your final days brushing up on your formula sheets, reaction mechanisms in Chemistry, and key derivations in Physics.
• Review Your Mistakes: Look over your mock test error logs so you don’t repeat past mistakes in the actual exam.
• Rest Your Brain: Get a solid 7 to 8 hours of sleep the night before your shift. A tired brain makes calculation errors!
⏱️ Time Management During the Exam
• The 3-Round Strategy:
Round 1: Knock out the easy, theoretical, and formula-based questions first. This builds massive confidence early on.
Round 2: Tackle the moderate, slightly calculation-heavy questions.
Round 3: Attempt the tough and lengthy ones only if time permits.
• Don't Let Ego Win: If a question takes more than 2 minutes and you are stuck, drop it immediately and move on. Every question carries the same marks!
• Suggested Time Split: Many toppers recommend finishing Chemistry in 35-40 minutes, Physics in 45-50 minutes, and saving 75-85 minutes for Maths, which has historically been the lengthiest section. Try to save the last 10 minutes to review.
🚫 How to Eliminate Silly Mistakes
• Read the Entire Question Carefully: Under pressure, our brains tend to skip words. Look out for trap words like "NOT", "INCORRECT", "TRUE", and "FALSE".
• Mind the Units & Signs: Double-check unit conversions (e.g., cm to m, Celsius to Kelvin) and verify negative/positive sign conventions before marking the final option.
• Keep Rough Work Neat: Don’t scribble randomly all over the page. Divide your rough sheet into sections and number your working. If you need to recheck a calculation, you should be able to find it instantly without starting from scratch.
• Verify Before Clicking: Make sure the option you solved for on paper is the exact option you are clicking on the screen.
🧠 Attempt Confidently!
• The paper is exactly the same for everyone in your shift. If a section feels incredibly tough to you, it’s tough for everyone else. Don't panic.
• Take three deep breaths, reset, and focus on hunting down the questions you can solve. You are prepared. You are ready. Give it your absolute 100%!
