The National Testing Agency (NTA) has instructed candidates to upload a correct photograph for their JEE Mains 2025 application by January 17, 11:50 PM.  The image should be in 10 KB to 300 KB with white background.  According to the previous year's trends, NTA releases the admit card 2-3 days before the exam date.

Day 1-3: Strengthening Core Concepts and Revising

1. Prioritize High-Weightage Topics:

• Physics: Mechanics (Kinematics, Newton’s Laws, Work-Energy Theorem), Electrodynamics (Capacitance, Current Electricity), Optics, Modern Physics.
• Chemistry: Organic Chemistry (Aldehydes, Ketones, Carboxylic Acids, Aromatic Compounds), Inorganic Chemistry (Coordination Compounds, Transition Elements), Physical Chemistry (Mole Concept, Thermodynamics, Chemical Kinetics).
• Mathematics: Calculus (Limits, Differentiation, Integration), Algebra (Quadratic Equations, Progressions), Coordinate Geometry (Straight Lines, Circles), Vector Algebra.

2. Quick Revision of Formulas and Important Theorems:

• Write down a list of essential formulas for each subject on a sheet 
• Quickly revise the list every day to keep the formulas fresh in your memory.

3. Conceptual Understanding:

• If there are any concepts or formulas you are unsure about, revise them with short notes or textbooks. Don’t dive deep into theory; focus on understanding key concepts.
• Watch short concept videos on difficult topics if it helps reinforce your understanding.

4. Practice Core Problems:

• Solve 20-30 problems from each subject that cover the important concepts and formulas 
• you just revised. Don’t waste time solving random problems; pick problems that are aligned with previous JEE papers.
• For Physics, focus on numerical problems that require conceptual clarity and calculation.
• For Chemistry, emphasize problem-solving in Physical and Organic Chemistry.
• For Mathematics, practice a mix of theory-based problems and application-based ones from topics like Calculus, Algebra, and Geometry

Day 4-5: Mock Tests and Time Management

1. Take Timed Full-Length Mock Tests:

• Use a reliable JEE mock test platform or previous years’ papers and take full-length tests (3 hours) under timed conditions. Stick to the time limits strictly.

• At least 3-4 mock tests should be taken in the final week, but you can pace yourself, taking one test every alternate day.
• You must simulate exam conditions completely: sit in a quiet room, avoid interruptions, and keep your phone away.

2. Analyze Results from Mock Tests:

• After each mock test, immediately analyze the questions you got wrong. Focus on these mistakes and understand why you made them.
• Group mistakes into categories: Conceptual mistakes, careless errors, or time management issues.
• Revisit the topics you got wrong and revise the concepts with targeted practice.

3. Focus on Time Management:

• During your mock tests, focus on the following strategies:
• Start with easier questions to build confidence.
• Don't spend too much time on tough questions—if a question is taking longer than expected, move on and return to it later.
• Keep track of time for each section. Ideally, aim for 45 minutes for each subject in a 3-hour exam.

Day 6: Revise Key Areas and Fine-Tune Your Strategy

1. Last-Minute Revision of Core Topics:

• Focus on topics that you feel weakest in. Allocate 1-2 hours for quick revision of each topic. Use bullet points, notes, or flashcards.
• Revise problem-solving techniques, shortcuts, and tricks that save time during the exam.
• Go through the most recent JEE Main mock test or the last 10 years of JEE papers to familiarize yourself with the pattern.

2. Focus on Your Mistakes:

• Review your mock test performance one last time, paying close attention to persistent mistakes or patterns in errors.
• Revisit the solution of these problems and make sure you understand the correct approach.

3. Relax and Stay Positive:

• Build your confidence by reflecting on how far you’ve come and the preparation you’ve put in.
• Avoid overloading yourself with new information on the last day. Instead, focus on improving confidence and mental clarity.

Day 7: Rest and Mental Preparation

1. Rest, Relax, and Reduce Stress:

• Get at least 7-8 hours of quality sleep the night before the exam. Lack of sleep will affect your concentration and decision-making skills.
• Do some light stretching or breathing exercises to relax your mind. Avoid any strenuous physical activities or anxiety-inducing tasks.
• Keep away from social media or any distractions that could increase your stress levels.

2. Quick Review of Important Notes:

• Go through your quick revision sheets, formulas, and notes in the morning to refresh your memory.
• Avoid studying anything new. Spend time relaxing and maintaining a positive mindset.

3. Ensure You Have All Exam Essentials:

• Check that you have your admit card, photo ID, and stationery (pens, pencils, erasers, etc.) ready.
• Set aside your clothes and travel arrangements so you’re not stressed on the day of the exam.

General Last-Minute Tips:

• Don’t Learn New Topics: This is not the time to start learning new chapters or concepts. Stick to revising and reinforcing what you already know.
• Focus on Speed and Accuracy: During practice sessions, try to reduce the time taken per question while maintaining accuracy.
• Stay Hydrated and Eat Well: Drink plenty of water and eat healthy meals to keep your energy levels up. Avoid heavy meals or junk food.
• Avoid Stress: Trust your preparation, stay calm, and visualize success. Keeping a positive attitude will help your performance.

By following this structured, fact-based approach, you’ll be able to make the most of the last 7 days before your JEE exam. Focus on revising core concepts, taking mock tests, and staying calm.
