Here are some of the simple ways to revise Mathematics for JEE Main 2026 at home

Plan your days

Confused? Well, prepare a schedule and stick to it. Candidates are advised to prepare a timetable for JEE Main in which they should divide the syllabus of Mathematics for each day. Try to complete one chapter in a day. Solve as many questions as you can and try to focus on weak points. Let your weak areas become your strong areas.

PRACTICE is a key

You must have heard that practice makes a man perfect. Well, practicing also makes a man perfect at solving mathematical problems. While revising maths, practicing more and more questions is the best way to boost your confidence. Therefore, it is advisable for each applicant to start solving more and more JEE Main 2026 sample papers. Solving the sample papers not only helps to understand the exact pattern of the paper but also helps to know the strengths and weaknesses. Moreover, prepare a handy note of the formula for quick revision. Make it a habit to practice solving past year papers and sample papers day ensures regular engagement with a variety of questions, thus preparing for all types of questions that may appear in JEE Main.

Let Internet be your guide

While revising any topic, having doubts is normal. There is a high chance that the candidate will get stuck with any topic or question. At that time, allow the internet to become your guide. It has answers to all the queries just like your teacher or a guide.

Make a formula guide

YES!! It is very clear that Mathematics is a calculation-based subject. Most of the questions on this subject are formula based. Therefore, it is advisable to start making a guide that contains all the important formulas. This way, candidates can go through the list of formulas every other day as the chances of forgetting any important formula are eliminated.

Understand topic wise weightage

This is another important step to take care of while revising the subject. There is no doubt that you are missing out on any topic while preparing for any subject.

Hello

If you're preparing for JEE Mains, it's smart to focus on high-weightage topics from both 11th and 12th. In Physics, give time to Thermodynamics, Current Electricity, and Modern Physics. For Maths, focus on Calculus, Vectors & 3D, and Probability—they often carry good marks. In Chemistry, master Organic Chemistry, Coordination Compounds, and Chemical Bonding. These topics are not just about scoring, but also concept-based, so practice well. Use NCERT for Chemistry—it’s gold. Solve previous year papers to spot patterns. And most importantly, stay consistent and don’t ignore your weak areas.
