Do’s & Don’ts for JEE Main 2021
Randomly picking anything / Lack of study plan-
It is a blunder if you are not studying strictly according to the study plan you have made or you have been following. “Where there is no planning, there are no results”.
Not having a right revision strategy can really screw with your chances of getting a good percentile. So, make sure you have the right revision strategy and most importantly you abide by it.
Not being aware about the level of questions asked:
If you haven’t practiced or looked at JEE Mock test &Previous year papers, then try getting the idea of what is usually asked in the exam, the level of questions that are asked. A 100 Rs note holds no value in America, but 1 dollar does.
So make sure you know what you are approaching and prepare accordingly. Don’t waste your time in attempting advanced level problems as JEE Main usually asks easy and formula-based problems.
Lack of concentration:
Because the examination will be computer based, you cannot underline the main points within the question and you may have higher chances to miss out on an important key to solve the question so it is really important that you stay focused.
