- Take baby steps
We understand that the JEE syllabus is as vast as an ocean. There’s a high possibility that you will get lost trying to cover up the entire syllabus in such a short period. Here’s the catch – don’t think about the small amount of time left, but set goals which are more modest and achievable. Always remember, slow and steady wins the race.
You will only get the last one week to revise. It is advisable to complete your significant chunk of the syllabus remaining in 20 days and keep the remaining days only for revision (2 days per subject).

If you have solved previous year JEE question papers, you will know that the difficulty level of questions in the JEE exam is easily predictable. These are evenly distributed into easy, moderate and hard. Keeping this in mind, your ideal study plan should be:
Study one hard and two moderate concepts daily
OR
Study two moderate and one easy concept daily
The options mentioned above are your best bet to ace the JEE exam with little time left at hand. Mixing these options is advisable because you will not be able to stick to just one in this last month. Always remember to study the complicated topics in the morning itself because this way, you will be able to retain more.
- Divide your chapters

– Ones you are 100% proficient in
– Ones that require some brushing up
– Ones that you are clueless about
