Take Mock Tests: It is nothing short of actual examination.You develop examination temperament by taking as many mock tests as time permits. It is also a way to gauge your preparedness and current standing. You have ample time to identify your loopholes and work on your weak points. Increase your speed and accuracy.

Solve problems by yourself: Success in competitive examination like JEE is directly proportional to number of problems solved by you. More than number, it is the quality and variety of problems which matters.

These changes have certainly changed the strategy to crack JEE Main. You must understand the pattern and prepare for examination accordingly.

– Stay Connected with your Teachers: Though you have opted for Online Learning but something that you can talk about with your teacher one to one is irreplaceable. You should be in constant touch with your teachers for removing doubts.

– Believe in yourself: Confidence comes from the belief that you have in yourself. This is a testing time – all you need to sail through it is a belief in yourself. Do not lose hope and zeal and stray motivated towards your goal. Success depends on a time given for preparation. Utilize this time effectively and sincerely in your favor. Destress periodically through relaxation and short time recreational activities.Take good care of health and stay determined to what you have dreamt to achieve all these years.
