Dear Elina,
It is good that you are determined to score good marks in your exam.
To start your preparation you can take help of NCERT books. It will help you to build your concepts strong.
Apart, from NCERT you can take help of other recommended books like HC Verma for physics, RD sharma for mathematics and OP Tandon for chemistry.
Refer previous year papers to know the exam pattern and to know the level of the questions asked in the exam.
Focus on the chapters which carries more weightage in the exam and solve as many as mock test series for your practice as practice is the key to score good marks in your exam.
All the Best for your preparation and exam!!

Hello Elina,
yes, it is possible to score 150+ points in jee mains 2018 even if u start now, but better make your aim at 180+ score coz it creates tremendous difference in jee rank. if your score is around 180+ your rank will be below 10k and if your score is 150 your rank will be around 25k to 30k in general.
Now for the preparation :
1. Select your priority towards subjects, usually students select this priority MATHS>CHEMISTRY>PHYSICS, (80+) + (60+) + (40+) = 180+.
2. For maths :
# Go with Cengage practice all sample question, previous years question give more importance to probability, 3-d geometry, limits, continuity, differentiation, integeration - in every jee paper you will find questions from this chapters.
3. For chemistry :
# Go with NCERT - for inorganic completely no other book, learn all examples given in that book .
# my chemistry ma'am recommendated me cengage for physical and organic, as this book provide competative questions.
# learn all benzene reaction. you may see many questions on this topic.
4. for physics :
# In physics, the best way to get marks is to make your concepts clear, learn all the basics theorys required to solve a problem.
# follow any book which makes you understand the concepts clear, select few important chapters study well and skip the rest (such as : optics).
# practice all previous year question papers.
I personally follow this method and i hope that you may get good marks in jee mains.
