IIT, Kanpur: With only 48 hours remaining for JEE Advanced 2025, stress levels may be high. But this is also the most critical time—not for learning something new, but for consolidating, revising, and sharpening your mindset.
Here’s your smart last-minute action plan to maximise output, minimise panic, and enter the exam with clarity and control.
Practice PYQs & Full-Length Mock Tests
Why it works:
Solving actual JEE Advanced papers (from the last 5–10 years) helps you understand:
- Difficulty level trends
- Distribution of marks across subjects
- Time management strategies
- Question framing techniques
How to do it right:
- Attempt 2–3 full mock tests under real exam conditions
- Time yourself strictly — 3 hours per paper
- After each test, review mistakes and update your “error log”
- Focus on improving speed and accuracy
Tip: Mimic the exact exam slot timing while taking mocks to tune your body clock.
Selective Revision — Not Comprehensive
What to revise:
- Formula sheets, flashcards, and summary notes
- Important laws and principles from Physics (like Kirchhoff’s Law, Newton’s Laws, Thermodynamics)
- Key mechanisms and named reactions in Organic Chemistry
- Coordinate geometry formulas, calculus tricks in Mathematics
What not to do:
- Don’t touch new topics now
- Avoid referring to too many resources
- Don’t dive into heavy theory that wasn’t your strength during prep
Focus on high-weightage chapters like:
- Electrostatics & Current Electricity
- Thermodynamics & Heat Transfer
- Organic Chemistry (General Mechanisms + Named Reactions)
- Calculus & Coordinate Geometry
Focus on Strengths — Not Weaknesses
Why?
Time is short, and confidence boosts are more helpful than engaging in weak areas.
How?
- List your top 3 strong chapters per subject
- Do a quick revision + practice 15–20 questions from each
- Strengthen already mastered topics to improve accuracy and score consistency
Your top-performing chapters can become your high-scoring zones.
Simulate Exam Strategy — Not Just Syllabus
This is about your tactical approach on exam day:
- Which subject first? (e.g., Chemistry → Physics → Maths)
- When to skip a question? (Don’t waste >90 seconds on tough ones)
- Buffer time: Save 10–15 mins for review at the end
Refine this approach during mocks. Don’t go in blind.
Use the 1-2-3 Revision Rule
This structured plan gives your revision rhythm and efficiency:
| Tasks | Time |
| Revise key concepts/formulas | 1 Hour |
| Practice PYQs/mock tests | 2 Hours |
| Work on strong areas | 3 Hours |
Use breaks in between to avoid burnout. Stick to your circadian rhythm—study when your brain is naturally alert.
Take Care of Your Mental & Physical Health
Don’t ignore these essentials:
- Eat light, healthy meals
- Sleep for 7–8 hours
- Practice deep breathing or meditation before sleep
- Light walk post-dinner to clear your head
A calm brain is more productive than an overloaded one. Mental clarity > Content cramming.
