Hello,
I strongly recommend to you to work hard with the smartest way is the only way to get success. I know everyone is preparing for getting admission in IIT or NIT but the one who is preparing for the smartest way can get success more.
You can score 250+ in JEE Main 2018 with your hard work and full of dedication. Scoring 200 is easy but scoring 250+ is not easy to everyone. You have to focus upon the relevant topic for all three subjects.
Simple tips for scoring this marks you can follow my cheat sheet:

Simple tips for scoring this marks you can follow my cheat sheet:
- Make a plan sheet.
- Try to find out your weakness and strength
- Select the best reference book i.e. HC Verma, R.D Sharma, Dinesh
- Dont waste your time with unnecessary things i.e. Whatsapp, Facebook, Instagram Etc
- Time Management
- Make a habit of revising your topics after preparation
- Make a habit of revising your formula every day before starts reading
- Prepare a notebook for Formula list
- Practice 10 or more sample paper or mock tests
- Physics:
- Concepts of Physics Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 - arguably the best book for beginners
- Mechanics Part-1 & 2 by DC Pandey - the best book for rankers
- Understanding Physics Electricity and Magnetism by DC Pandey
- Understanding Physics for JEE Main & Advanced Optics & Modern Physics by DC Pandey
- Understanding Physics for JEE Main & Advanced Waves & Thermodynamics by DC Pandey
- You might rather want to buy the complete set of books - Understanding Physics Series (Set of 5 Books) by DC Pandey
- Problems In General Physics by IE Irodov - buy this book if you want some challenge
- Resnick Halliday - a great book for theory and non trivial problems
- New pattern Physics Book by DC Pandey - a great book for problems!
- Mathematics:
- RD Sharma class 11th and RD Sharma class 12th - people tend to underestimate the school level books. But these are the ones that will build your foundation.
- Coordinate Geometry for IIT-JEE by SK Goyal - indeed a great book for Coordinate geometry. Its subjective problems are excellent
- Differential Calculus for IIT-JEE by Amit Agarwal - the best book for differential calculus for any competitive exam
- Integral Calculus for IIT-JEE by Amit Agarwal - the best book for integral calculus for any competitive exam
- Algebra for JEE Main & Advanced by Arihant Publication - not the best book, goes a lot beyond syllabus. If you are specifically preparing for JEE, then make sure to stick to syllabus
- Vectors & 3D Geometry by Arihant Publications - again, a great book
- Trigonometry for JEE Main & Advanced by Arihant Publications - trigonometry is not directly asked in JEE these days. Board level books are usually sufficient
- IIT Mathematis by ML Khanna - a highly subjective book for JEE. This book might get you selected in JEE, but isn't sufficient for a good rank
- Problems Plus In Iit Mathematics by A Das Gupta - I never used this book, but it is recommended by many toppers
- COURSE in MATHEMATICS for IIT-JEE (TMH) - I would say that this is the best book for JEE when it comes to problems. The algebra section is the best in this book
- A Practice Book of Mathematics JEE Main & Advanced by Arihant Publication - a great book for problems
- Chemistry:
- New Pattern Textbook of Physical Chemistry for Competitions (JEE Main & Advanced ) by OP Tondon - the best book for physical chemistry for any competitive exam
- Modern Approach to Chemical Calculations by RC Mukherjee - the best book for physical chemistry for problems
- Numerical Chemistry 22/e by P Bahadur - recommended by many top rankers
- Organic Chemistry by LG Wade - this is the BEST possible book for organic chemistry. DON'T buy OP Tondon organic chemistry. Many aspirants buy random books and then the book says something in 1 chapter and something contradicting in the other chapter. If you trust me, buy this book and see the magic of organic chemistry.
- Organic Chemistry by Morrison Boyd - you must read this book once if you are appearing for JEE. This is the so called "HC Verma" of organic chemistry
- Concise Inorganic Chemistry by JD Lee - a great book for inorganic chemistry. This book will teach you how to understand the subject rather than cramming it
- Textbook of Inorganic Chemistry for Competiotions (JEE Main & Advanced ) by OP Tondon - a great book for problems
