We would advise students to do rehearsals and practice tests. By rehearsal I mean improvement and practise makes a man perfect so you should have command over the three important parameters which are speed, accuracy and time management.

Students might be preparing from the last one year, so during this time they should revise what they have studied. If a student is consistent in studies then the result would definitely be remarkable.

Revision is the reverse gear study. In revision, you have to go from questions to theory. If you are unable to solve any question or facing difficulty in solving any question then the student should refer to the theory part and revise the concept again. Students should solve the last 15 years papers. For NEET, 70-75% paper comes from the last 12 years papers.

These days, students should also revise the notes prepared during the preparation days.

For the students who are preparing from the last 1-2 years, I would advise them to prepare a 60 days revision plan. In revision plans, students usually focus more on theory because memorising theory is helpful in board exams as well. By memorizing, students can secure good marks in school but JEE/NEET examination is different. These examinations have questions which focus more on the application of theory so for the next 60 days students should make a plan for each subject.

They should read a part of the theory and solve a few questions and the other day they should practise and take a test. This should be followed like this only.

In the last 15 days, students should start taking full syllabus mock tests.

Students who have just focused on school examination and were not focusing on JEE/NEET exam during their class 12th, should also put efforts to hit the target in this examination cycle. They might leave 10-20% of the syllabus which they are not comfortable with. I have seen most of the students can't make through JEE or NEET not because of the few portions of the syllabus which they have not covered but because of not being able to reproduce what they have learnt. If you are comfortable with 70-80% syllabus then just focus on that and try to solve questions with speed and accuracy. Suppose, a student attempt 80% questions with 100% accuracy then he will get 80% marks and that will put  you into top 100-200 students. Even if you attempt 80% questions with 70% accuracy, you can get approximately 50-60 percent marks which can fetch you a seat in good engineering college.
