Study with the right syllabus and the weightage of various topics
As already known, aspirants have to cover a vast syllabus for Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics, therefore, it is very crucial that the right amount of focus could be given on each subject with their weightage in mind. Interestingly, the syllabus of JEE includes many advanced topics and is quite different from those prescribed for general board exams. A smart decision would be to prepare the topics by the amount of weightage they carry in each subject. This would help in saving a considerable amount of time and energy.

Start preparing beforehand
As the proverb goes "An early bird catches the worm", it stands very true while preparing this exam as well. Nothing matches timely preparedness as one who starts brushing up all their comprehensive skills from class 12th gets an edge over other candidates. Students also get an ample amount of time to increase their speed in order to make it on the top list.
Prepare via online apps and videos
With online coaching gaining importance today, most rely on it because of its benefits. At your convenience, you can stream whatever question paper, tutorial, mock test you wish to at your preferred device during any time of the day. Some of the most trusted apps that have led aspirants to the path of success include AskIITians, IIT JEE Mains and JEE Advanced 2018 App by Edurev, HashLearn, PrepLane, Rise Test Series and others such.
Solve previous years question papers
It's quite unlikely that the same question will be repeated in the Mains exam but it is recommended that you solve previous years in order to test your ability and speed. Solving those papers would not only inform you about the distribution of questions, type of questions asked, marking scheme, and difficulty level but also give a rough idea on how the topics are dealt with and their specific trends. It will undoubtedly boost your confidence that can help you get rid of the anxiety during the exam day.
Appear for mock tests
As there are no restrictions put by CBSE on who takes the online JEE Main mock test, it can be very helpful for students who opt online mode as it makes them familiar to the various functionalities of the exam. Taking the mock test can give you first-hand experience and you will also learn how to navigate between different sections, answer a question, and differentiate a question by looking at its status (answered, unanswered, or marked for review). The least it can do is to help you get over jitters, if any, regarding the online JEE Mains exam.
