JEE aspirants tend to study all night, as a result of which they feel lazy or lethargic in the mornings. My suggestion is to break this habit as the JEE Main exam is to be given at 9:30am. Students should attempt to solve JEE practice papers at 9:30 in the morning at least thrice a week. The idea is to train you brain to be the most productive and alert at the time of the day when JEE is scheduled. Another area where students should work on is creating a sheet of all the mistakes that they make while solving practice papers. Often students assume that the mistakes they make in practice solving are too silly and that will not be repeat during the main exam. However, even the silliest of mistakes can be replicated in the exam unknowingly. Listing all your mistakes during practice on a separate sheet will help you actively avoid them while writing the JEE Main paper. And finally, concepts that students feel confident about, should be not be omitted from revision at the last moment. There is no point starting to master a new concept in the last 20 days before the exam. This time is to practice what you already know than to exhaust your energy learning something new.
