READ | JEE Advanced 2024 Live Updates

Understanding the importance of wisely utilising time in the last two days, let’s look at strategies to optimise the study schedule, control stress, and give the best in the time available.

Unlock the potential of revision

Make a thorough revision plan for the last two days of preparation. This plan, meticulously designed to cover all three subjects — Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics — will boost the confidence of students that they can revise everything needed. Using faster revision techniques can allow revision of important ideas, equations, and topics from notes maintained throughout the year. Using mind maps, self-tests, and flashcards can help immensely in remembering things and chapters already studied, further boosting your confidence in your preparation.

Try to complete sample papers

To improve problem-solving and time-management skills before the exam, students should complete previous year model papers and questions. Along with familiarising themselves with the time limits and atmosphere of the exams, it is recommended that they take practice tests in an exam-like environment. Simulating an exam framework can help with time management and reduce anxiety around final exam time. Candidates should review their performance on these practice tests, which can help identify areas that require further work.

Attempt the maximum number of questions

While answering the exam, students should prefer attempting the maximum number of questions correctly. Once you understand the importance of scoring well to increase your rank, it is advisable to first choose simple and easy questions that require the use of basic concepts. After answering the easier questions, candidates can move on to tricky and time-consuming challenging questions.

Focus on overall wellbeing

Feeling anxious during an exam is natural, but effective stress management can play a key role in overcoming anxiety. To stay focused and avoid fatigue, break up study sessions into small chunks and take breaks. In the crucial period before the exam, it is advisable to lead a healthy lifestyle. A properly balanced diet, regular exercise, and adequate sleep are good for health and exam performance. To stay healthy, try to drink plenty of water and include nutrient-dense foods like fruits, vegetables, and nuts in the diet.

The tips above can help aspirants to secure good marks on the JEE Advanced exam. Generally, those appearing for the JEE Advanced exam are under much pressure to perform well. It can lead to unwanted stress and anxiety among them. To overcome stress, students should focus on exercises to calm their body and mind. Along with this, students should also indulge themselves in recreational activities that can help them refresh their minds and, in turn, improve their retention power.
