JEE Main 2024 Revision Plan 

• Revise your notes: Covering the syllabus is not the key for success in JEE Main, what actually matters is how much you retain for the exam. Therefore, revise your notes every day for a strong grasp of concepts and application. Revise your formulas as most of the questions will be formula based. It’s not practical to revise and retain all the important formulas at once so please revise some portion of it daily during your last days before the exam.

• Important topics: Observing the last year's JEE Main question paper, it was noted that the paper was quite balanced and spread out, covering most of the paper so keep a balanced preparation. However, there are topics from which questions are surely asked.

  Radioactivity, X-Ray, Atomic structure and Photoelectric effect are some such topics from Physics. Besides these, some easy to cover and recurring topics include Unit and Dimension, Instrument etc. It’s difficult to identify important chapters in chemistry, but questions from chemical bonding, transition element and coordination compounds appear almost every year. Straight-line circle, Vector and 3D are some most asked topics from mathematics. Topics like Quadratic equation, sequence and series are some easy to cover and recurring topics in mathematics.

  Candidates can also divide the topics in categories of easy, medium and difficult in terms of their difficulty level and move in the direction of easy to difficult. Since tough concepts are harder to retain, so it is best to brush up these concepts once before the exam. 

• Mock tests are a must: Take at least one full-length mock test every day and device your paper attempting strategies accordingly.
• Question-solving approach: During your mock tests and practice papers, keep in mind that solving every question requires the right approach. This approach must include first understanding the question followed by application of concepts and ultimately calculation.
• Paper Attempting Strategy: Candidates appearing for JEE Main must have certain strategies for time management, selection of questions and accuracy. All these factors are interdependent on each other and essential for a successful attempt. Candidates must have a clear idea of what questions they can or can not attempt. Aiming to solve the entire paper will only lead to disruption of clarity. Sequence of attempting the question paper must be chosen as per one’s own convenience. However our advice is to attempt the chemistry section first as the questions can be addressed quickly so aspirants can have more time to attempt Physics and Mathematics sections.Graph based questions are easy to attempt, candidates can use different parameters like inserting values etc to eliminate the wrong options.
• Maintain a healthy lifestyle: Don’t undermine your health amidst all the stress. Maintain a healthy diet and sleep schedule during these last days before the exam. This is essential for a high concentration level and productivity during the paper.
