Most Important of All. We Should Have a Revision Copy/Booklet :
So this post will be all about The preparation strategy for JEE Main 2020.
Last Month preparation for JEE Main 2020 |
Last Month Preparation For JEE Main 2020
Jee Main 2020 2nd session is atleast a month away which will be more helpful to JEE Main Aspirants as you will be having more time to revise and practice question for JEE Main 2020.
How to Study in last month for JEE main preparation:
1.Short Notes
Short notes are most helpful thing at this period of time. As short notes are helpful in quick revision which surely boosts your score as they save time and memorize the key points.
Short notes must be not more than 2 pages for each chapter and no unnecessary things shall be in short notes.
Revise short notes before going to sleep and after getting up in morning.
2. Improve Weaknesses
All of you are aware of your weaknesses now all you have to do is work on them smartly and efficiently.
- Create a lists of topic and sort them in order of Perfect , average and poor this way it will be easy to start studying.
- Start with your weak topics Ask doubts , create short notes and revise them everyday for this 1 month
- Do not spend more than 12 days on your weak topics as you have to gain more confidence on your strong topics.
- For your weaknesses
b.) Revise your notes of the topic and prepare short notes of the topic not more than 2 pages.
c.)Solve Easy problems First and then JEE Main Previous year problems then you can move to Tougher section and JEE advance problems.
d.) Do not forget to revise Short notes.
This strategy during the last month of preparation of the JEE Main 2020 will boost your JEE Main 2020 rank for sure.
3.Time Management/Optimization
We have only limited time so we cannot afford to waste a bit of it , seize every second and turn 1 month into 2 by working doubly hard.
For this we have to manage time efficiently.
So how to create a proper time table for studying during the last month of preparation of the JEE Main 2020?
As per the Timings of JEE Main paper commence form 9:30-12:30PM or 2:30-5:30PM that is the time when your brain should function most efficient manner .
Else sleep will be hitting you at time of paper which is not good for your accuracy as well.
That is why you should study in morning rather than in night as during night time our brain is stressed out while in morning our brain is fresh and ready to grasp every thing.
so try to wake up early and do long sittings and Atleast study 3 hrs a day with full concentration.
Having proper Time table for JEE Main is Important during last month of preparation of the JEE Main
- We must study with fresh mind. That is why we shall get up early
- Our JEE Main Exam is conducted from 9:30-12:30PM or 2:30-5:30PM that is daytime. So our brain must be in habit of performing during daytime not at night time
- Get up at 5-6 AM- Do the daily activities then start studying. At this time of day our mind is free from all the tensions so we can easily concentrate that is why we shall revise what was taught in yesterday's class in around a hour.
- Then Start solving homework.
- Make sitting habit as IIT-JEE paper is of 6 hours so while doing homework atleast sit for 2 hours without taking a break in one session.
While solving Homework you must be able to attempt every problem given as homework doesn't matter if you are not getting right answer. Although check where you went wrong try to check calculation or read question again so you understand what question wants to say so that you do not miss discussion in Classroom which is most important part since you get your doubts clear.
If homework is too much you should solve it as paper. If you are not able to get answer in one attempt just check one time and skip to next question or if question seem too big just skip to next and we will comeback to these question later.
This way you will be able to see every question and you will be able to take part in classroom discussions.
Take the toughest section during 9-12 since this is time when your brain need to work most. That is why solving more tough and conceptual problem during this session will develop your brain to work at this time.
- 9-12
- Tough section
- New Concepts
After 12 have a break till 1PM
- At 1 PM if your Homework is complete try revising previous topics or have glance of what is to be taught today.
- If your homework is Incomplete atleast give a thorough reading to each and every question and try to solve them within your mind. Like just think what concepts are to be applied and what is thought process of question.
- This way your time won't get wasted in coaching while discussion and you will learn new concepts.
2 PM stop studying and get ready to go to Coaching Institute.
Till 9:00 have dinner and have little bit fun till 9:30
- After 9:30 PM start revising what you learnt today note down your doubts from homework into fair notes and try to solve them by yourself.
If there is still time in 12 try solving previous coaching paper and analyze what you did wrong.
Now go to sleep.
Eat Study Sleep Repeat.
4. Health Care
While doing this much of rigorous hard work you have to keep your self healthy aswell otherwise you may fall sick and won't be able to study for a week which is 1/4 of your left time.
Try to eat healthy food only avoid outside food and eat fruits.
JEE Main commence in summer time so keep your body hydrated. Eat and drink things which keep you hydrated.
Take proper rest atleast sleep 5 hrs a day in order to relax your brain. Brain does get exhausted after this much thinking and working and need serious break so be sure you are sleeping enough.
Before 1 week to JEE Main keep special care of body and start sleeping around 8 hrs as now you have to just revise your short notes and solve previous year papers.
Do not start new concepts they will decrease your Confidence.
5. Confidence
confidence makes you win 50% of game already. So to keep your confidence boosted solve those topics problem in sample papers which are in your perfect topic list. Then solve weaker section problem and see the result you will be more efficient this time.
A week Before JEE main 2020 do not start any new topic just revise and solve previous year problems in order to keep confidence high.
Say I'm the Best atleast 3 times a day , weird but effective trick.
Healthy body is always motivated so be sure you keep your self healthy during this last month of preparation of the JEE main 2020.
6. Short notes
Most Important of All. We Should Have a Revision Copy/Booklet :
Let’s see how and what kind of purpose will it serve and what should be its contents.(a) Divide the copy in 3 parts (each for subject: Physics, Chemistry, Maths).
(b) For each of the chapter, write 2-3 pages (on an average) summary. You should write all the important formulas and important tips/points which you gathered while you were attending your classes, practicing from your institute booklets or revising (earlier) on that topic. I believe you all do make your class notes. So you might already have an idea regarding how to make one.
(c) Try to be as short and particular as you can while you are writing or planning to write and be sure what to write and how to write. Please don’t write the whole story. Be precise. In some cases, you may be writing 4-5 pages of summary (especially in Physics topics and in Organic Chemistry) so don’t worry.
(d) The purpose of this copy is to revise quickly and efficiently and in lesser time. Also, you should have confidence in whatever summary you are making. What I mean here is that you should not be running back and forth to your class copies and chapters while you are revising from this copy otherwise you will never be able to rely on this which will defeat the whole objective.
(e) This will also help in other competitive exams since the syllabus overlap between them is generally more than 95%. So, you are in a win-win situation especially for exams which work on formula-based like Eamcet and other regional ones.
(f) You should have a smile on your face whenever you revise any particular topic from your beloved copy. Because you will have that clarity and confidence in what you know and what you don’t.
Don’t worry if you still haven’t made a one. The idea is that it should serve the purpose and if it does, that’s it. In case, you haven’t worked on this yet, It’s recommended that you should make one such and you don’t have to spend 2-3 weeks especially and dedicatedly on this at a stretch. Start working on this when you are revising any topic and build this gradually (say over two weeks or so).
This will be Enough do prepare well and all the best for your upcoming exam.
6.Practice the JEE Main Sample Papers and Question Papers-
YES JEE Main Do Repeat same questions just changes the given Values. These question are kind of Score boosters in JEE main.
One of the pivotal JEE Main 2020 preparation tips include solving of the sample papers and the question papers. The aim to solve the JEE Main question paper is to enable the candidates to know the level of their preparation. Candidates will be able to figure out how much they are taking in solving each question in each subject, whether they are able to manage their time appropriately or not.
Whatever Topic you Study remember to solve it's previous year question in this way you will get idea of difficulty level of JEE Main and you will gain confidence on that topic.
7.Mock Tests-
Taking of the JEE Main mock test at a time when the actual exam takes place is also part of JEE Main preparation tips. Hence, the candidates are advised to attempt JEE Main mock tests from 9:00 a.m to 12:00 p.m and from 2:00 p.m to 5:00 p.m. This will make the candidates comfortable on the day of the JEE Main entrance exam as by regularly taking the exam at that particular time, they are able to acclimatise themselves and will not face any problem on the day of the actual exam. To help the candidates practise, NTA has set up Test Practice Centres.
8.FORM YOUR OWN QUESTION WHILE STUDYING THE TOPIC
JEE Main have tricky question those are not tough question but brain-twister to solve them you must know various approach to 1 question this is the beauty of JEE Main which makes it stand out of boards.
You can solve Tricky Question If you study and analyze question in your Own way and this way you can Ace JEE Main 2020.

JEE Main Percentile vs Ranks
It is also important to understand which rank will be awarded to a candidate on a certain percentile. It is as important as understanding the JEE Main marks vs percentile.Though the marks vs percentile trend of previous year jee main might change but the trend below in the table will be same for this year too because No. of appearing students in JEE Main are approximately same as of last year. Candidates can refer the table below for the same:

JEE Main Normalisation Process(How Rank is calculated from percentile)
Before understanding the JEE Main normalization, it is important to understand why it is incorporated. Normalisation helps in equalising the difficulty level of the exam conducted in multiple sessions on the scheduled dates. The JEE Main percentile score obtained by a candidate is determined only after applying normalization to the marks obtained by a candidate. JEE Main Percentile scores indicate the percentage of candidates who have scored equal to or below that particular percentile in the examination. A percentile score is measured on the scale of 100 to 0 for each session of examinees.
After compiling the raw marks, the NTA applies Normalisation formula to get the percentile scores of a candidate for each subject – Maths, Physics, and Chemistry as well as total. The highest score of each session will get the same percentile of 100 which is ideal. The percentile score has been used for the preparation of the JEE Main merit list. The percentile scores will be calculated up to 7 decimal places to avoid ties amongst candidates with the same scores.
JEE Main 2020 Normalisation Process: Tie Breaker Guidelines
The following comes into effect when two or more candidates obtain equal percentile scores. The inter-se-merit will be determined according to the following rules in case of a tie.
- Candidates obtaining higher Percentile Score in Mathematics will be ranked higher
- If a tie still exists, the candidate with higher Percentile Score in Physics will be given the higher rank
- If a tie still exists, the candidate obtaining higher Percentile Score in Chemistry will get the higher rank
- If a tie still exists, candidate older in age will be given preference
The JEE Main 2020 result will be released separately for the January and April sessions on January 31 and April 30 respectively. The best score of the two sessions will be taken into consideration for candidates who appeared in both the sessions. The merit list will be prepared on the final scores and ranks announced based on the same.
