To score 99 percentile in the JEE Mains 2nd attempt, you should target 180
to 200 marks in the exam. If you are planning to improve your score and
percentile in the second attempt of JEE Main 2023, here are some tips that
will help you:
- Analyze where you stand: The first step is to analyze your
previous attempt and know your strengths and weaknesses. You can do this
by going through your answer sheet and the question paper, and checking
which topics you need to work on. You can use chapter mind maps to make
this analysis easy for you. - Prepare a study plan: As you know your strengths and weaknesses
now, make a plan to focus on the concepts that you found difficult in
the first attempt. Solve a few practice questions to check your
understanding of the concept. Since many questions in JEE mains can be
solved using the formulae, so keep revising your formulae on daily
basis. For that use your self made compendium or revision notes. - Practice Mock tests: Make a habit of solving about one mock test
daily. Check the areas where you have made mistake and work on them.
Eventually your score will start to improve in mock tests. If your score
is not improving, check if you are spending a lot of time on certain
types of questions. Start avoiding those questions and keep them for the
last. - Solve previous year papers: Solve previous year papers to get an
idea of the type of questions asked in the exam. This will help you
understand the exam pattern and prepare accordingly. You should attempt
pyqs at least of 2021 and 2022. With JEE happening across around 16
slots every year, we have a lot of past year papers to acquaint
ourselves with. These paper will also give you an idea of what type of
questions are coming from each chapter. So you can attempt PYQs
chapterwise or also as a full mock test. - Follow the pattern: After solving a few mock tests you will get
familiar with the pattern of the exam and types of questions. Figure out
in which sequence you should attempt sections so as to increase your
speed and accuracy. Stick to that routine and follow the same pattern on
the exam day. Try to solve the questions you know first and then move on
to the difficult ones. As a practice we suggest students to start with
Chemistry, then go to Physics and finally Math. This ensures that you
have solved more questions in the first few minutes or one hour of the
exam and that boosts your confidence and reduces stress during the exam.
Mainly because Chemistry questions on an average take half the time to
solve compared to Math questions. - Revise the syllabus as much you can. Make short notes, especially
in Physics as many the questions are super easy and formula based. The
goal should be thorough in all the chapters which are considered easy.
For Chemistry you should revise NCERT properly, as almost all questions
come directly from there, especially for Inorganic Chemistry. - Avoid taking up new books or start any new chapter just before
the exam as this is going to spoil your confidence level. Since JEE is
an exam where you don’t need to score 100% marks or 95% marks like Board
exams, so you can leave a few chapters if needed. Mastery of most
chapters is more important than a decent command of all chapters. In the
exam anyway most students can’t attempt more than 55-60 questions out of
75. So there is no point stressing over a few chapters. Focus on your
strengths mainly.
Last but not the least, avoid distractions and negative thoughts and stay
positive and motivated. Also keep yourself updated with the latest news
and notifications related to the exam, such as exam dates, application
deadlines, and changes in the exam pattern. Remember that improving your
score and percentile in the second attempt of JEE Main 2023 requires
planning as well besides consistent hard work and dedication. Keep
practicing and stay focused on your goal, and you will be able to improve
your percentile in the upcoming JEE Main exam.
Good luck!
