The reason being JEE Main 2020 (April edition) is around five weeks away. In the interim students are gearing for CBSE Class 12 Board Exam. Since it will be a long season of examinations it is imperative for students to prepare a systematic, well coordinated and a workable plan for optimizing time, resources and the outcome in each exam. Here are few tips for them:
Treat board exams as a revision: The syllabus of JEE Main is equal to the cumulative syllabus of CBSE class 11 and 12. During the class 12 board exams, students will get a chance to go through the NCERTs and revise the syllabus well. But they may not have given due importance to class 11 portion which might get neglected at the end. Use this time to clear concepts. One should feel 100 per cent confident of solving any question from the chapter one has studied. If not, connect with your teacher and clarify doubts. So that when its time for JEE, one would need to revise only class 11 chapters.
