Give some suggestions for session 2 preparation and for Jee advance

Ans: Effective Study Strategy for JEE Main & Advanced – A Step-by-Step Guide

Karthika,

You haven't mentioned whether you appeared for the January JEE Main session or not. If you did, sharing your percentile score would help provide a more precise answer. However, here’s a general strategy based on different scenarios:

If You Did NOT Appear for the January JEE Main Session
Focus on Past Papers: Solve 20-30 years of previous JEE question papers to understand question patterns.
Target Mistakes: Identify wrongly answered questions in mock tests & practice exams (from coaching centers or self-study) and revise them multiple times.
Daily Revision: Regularly go through short notes and formulas to strengthen your concepts.
Mock Test Practice: Attempt time-bound mock tests (offline or online) whenever possible, analyze your mistakes, and work on improving weak areas.

If You Appeared for the January JEE Main & Scored Between 80-95 Percentile
Time Allocation:

Dedicate 80% of your study time to JEE Main preparation.
Spend 20% of your time on JEE Advanced concepts to build a strong foundation.
Continue practicing problems and following the same revision strategies mentioned above.

If You Scored Above 95 Percentile in January JEE Main
Time Allocation:

Focus 80% of your time on JEE Advanced preparation (since you have a good chance of qualifying).
Dedicate 20% of your time to JEE Main April session (as a backup).
Follow the same approach as JEE Main—practicing difficult questions, revising formulas, and taking timed mock tests.
Don't Forget Board Exam Preparation! Depends upon your Board & the Board Exam State as of now.
Balance your JEE preparation with Board Exam studies, depending on your exam schedule and syllabus coverage.
If your Board Exams are near, allocate specific study hours for both to avoid last-minute pressure.
Final Advice:
Maintain discipline & consistency in your preparation.
Focus on concept clarity and mistake analysis.
Keep a healthy balance between JEE & Board Exam studies.
Wishing you all the best for your JEE & Board Exams!
