    Habit 3- Practice Previous Year’s Question Papers

    Students should regularly practice the previous year's question papers. Solving previous year’s question papers helps students to have a basic understanding of the question concepts, exam pattern, and difficulty level. The question paper also helps students to manage time effectively and to analyse which section takes the most time. This also helps candidates find their strengths and weaknesses, allowing them to do focused revision. Regular solving of previous year papers boosts confidence, problem-solving quality, time management, and accuracy.

    Habit 4- Analysing Performance by Solving Mock Test

    Aspirants usually skip solving the mock test, which played an important role in preparation for JEE toppers. After completing the syllabus, toppers never forget to solve the mock test in said duration. This way they find out their weak and strong sections and then prepare accordingly. The mock tests also help in analysing which section or question takes more time.

    Habit 5- Make Time for Personal Interests

    Most of the time aspirants focus on studying hard and skip their favourite task to cover syllabus on time. But JEE toppers never do that, they take out time for their hobbies and interests to relax their mind. They know that only a relaxed mind can focus better. Hence, every aspirant should take short breaks to feel refreshed, hydrated and free. Regular breaks increase focus and help boost retention. Studying for 8-10 hours is necessary for the students. But having time for their personal interests and hobbies helps to maintain a healthy balance. If at least for half an hour, the candidate should have their interest in things. Taking regular breaks also helps in improving productivity in studies.
