2. Focus on conceptual learning instead of just formulas- Most of the questions in JEE Mains test your understanding rather than memorization. Use NCERT books for basic and advanced chemistry problem solving books to build a more solid understanding of each topic.
3. Set weekly micro-goals – Instead of making too vague long-term plans, set micro-goals for each week, such as finishing a specific topic in physics like thermodynamics, solving at least 50 problems in integration in math, or the periodic table in chemistry. Revised the trend. Smaller goals keep the momentum going and scale easily.

4. Make your own error notebook: Keep a special notebook just for errors. The last thing you do for each test and exercise is to identify all the wrong answers, whether it’s a comprehension mistake, a careless error, or even skipping steps. You should always refer to this book regularly so that similar mistakes are not repeated.
5. Revise the format – Effective revision requires a three-step method. Quick recap to refresh the basics using notes or flashcards, in-depth revision by solving mixed-level problems to reinforce understanding, and test revision through timed quizzes to simulate exam conditions. This approach helps to retain the subject matter well and builds confidence for the exam.
6. Balance Speed and Accuracy- JEE Mains require speed, they do it without compromising on accuracy. Practice timed problem solving daily and work on trying to solve it quickly without messing up. Mark the questions that take more than 2 or 3 minutes and refer to them during revision to improve your weak areas.

8. Keep yourself positive- One of the most important ways to deal with the stress of preparation is to keep yourself motivated. A positive environment can always be found by looking at inspirational books, encouraging friends or seeing supportive mentors.
By following these unique tips, you can improve your preparation and face JEE Mains 2025 Session 1 with confidence. The ultimate keys to success are consistency, smart planning and self-belief.
