FIITJEE : With the JEE Advanced Exam 2022 slated for August 28th, 2022 (Sunday), applicants are already on edge, prepared to complete the final lap in their battle to obtain the most prized seat in the IITs.

Students will be stressed and under pressure, but their focus should be on making the most of the time they have remaining.
The JEE Advanced paper contains a variety of question types. There are multiple-choice questions with either a single correct answer or multiple correct responses. There may be comprehensions followed by two or more objective-type questions with a single correct answer.

How to utilize the last one week before JEE Advanced Exam:

It is time to consolidate one’s preparation and not to start any new topic. The following points will help you plan your last week before the exam.

1. Revise important formulae and brush up on all important concepts in all three subjects Physics, Chemistry & Mathematics.
2. Take Mock Tests every alternate day keeping a check on your time taken on each question and devise a strategy for the exam day.
3. To set your biological clock take the mock tests in the actual timings of the JEE Exam.
4. Revise from your own handwritten notes, as you will find it easier to grasp.
5. Avoid studying any new chapters or refer new books from the last week.
6. Do Test Analysis after every test taken so that you avoid committing the same mistakes.
7. Most importantly take care of your health. You must remain mentally & physically fit for the exam day.
8. Remain focused for your exam and avoid chatting or too much discussion out of JEE.
9. Seek guidance from your subject teachers when required as this will boost your confidence.
10. Practice Meditation & Yoga to ward off any kind of nervousness.

Strategy for attempting various patterns of questions:

Multiple Choice Questions with Single Choice Correct: The best way to attempt these questions is to run through the Question- Option – Question way. Scanning the question again after the options in mind helps strategize the approach to solve the question. Sometimes the options themselves guide the correct strategy or even the correct answer.

Multiple Choice Questions with Multiple Choice Correct: Each question has to be solved and mapped with all options. It may also happen that the options are the same values written in different forms. Statistically, these are the questions with the least percentage of correct responses. One must only answer the correct options in case of partial marking in these questions.

Comprehension Based: Even if you know the concept mentioned in Comprehension, you should still read it thoroughly, there are chances of redefining a concept or providing hypothetical assumptions. In that case, your correct approach might lead to an incorrect answer.

Matrix Match Type (One to One Matching): If the question is of One to One matching, then your approach should be finding the odd one out (if any). This will help you quickly reach the correct mapping.

Numerical Based Answer Type: Generally, these questions are the subjective questions converted to objective, and hence would be time taking. The correct way would be treating them as subjective and solve them only if you have a command on the topic or if you have attempted all other questions of the paper. These questions also have a low scoring statistical record. In previous years, answers correct to two decimal places were also asked. So, students are advised to write answers correct to decimal places as asked.

Reason Assertion Type: These days these types of questions are not asked, but in case there are few questions of this category, be very careful if both the statements are correct. Because, then it’s very tricky to decide between the options A and B or else you can mark the correct response easily.

Aspirants are advised to be ready for surprises in the JEE paper, as it has the history of asking something new. Remain calm in such situations and use the same strategy used to attempt a new question.

Tips for the Exam Day:

1. Ensure to have a sound sleep for 6 to 7 hours in the night before the exam day.
2. Reach the examination venue well in time and follow all the guidelines already released by IIT for JEE Advanced 2022.
3. Don’t forget to carry your admit card, mask & hand sanitizers as per instructions already given in the admit card.
4. Remain focussed and don’t discuss anything with friends outside the exam centre.
5. Read all the instructions in question paper carefully before starting to answer.
6. It is advisable to solve the paper in two rounds. In first round, start with the subject as per your comfort level attempting all easier and moderate level questions with not more than 45 minutes on each subject.
7. Use last 45 minutes to solve remaining questions in second attempt and those marked for review.
8. Do not spend more than a minute on any question if you find that you are not nearing solution. Go to the next question.
9. Avoid guessing if you are not sure about the answer to a question with negative marks assigned to it.
10. Attempt all questions which do not carry negative marks.
