Careers360: Mock tests and sample papers – how extensively did you practise with the help of these? Do you think practising from the previous year’s papers helps and how?
Chirag Singh: Yes I took more than 100 mock tests throughout my exam preparation. In the last month of my JEE preparation alone, I gave about 25-30 mock tests. My coaching also had regular tests series that I took.

On Question asked by student community
Cracking jee main in 15 days is a challenging task that depends heavily on your current level of preparation and how effectively you utilize the remaining time. the preparation strategy highlighted by experts suggests focusing on a high-yield revision plan that prioritizes the most important chapters in physics, chemistry, and mathematics rather than trying to learn new concepts. according to the insights from ramesh batlish of fiitjee, success in this short window requires a disciplined routine involving the solving of previous year question papers and taking full-length mock tests to build exam temperament and time management skills. prioritizing topics like coordinate geometry in maths, organic chemistry, and modern physics can help maximize your score as these often carry significant weightage. while it may not be enough to master the entire syllabus, a strategic and focused effort can certainly help you improve your percentile and secure a qualifying score. for a detailed day-wise plan and expert tips on managing the final two weeks, you can refer to the full article here: https://engineering.careers360.com/articles/jee-main-2025-last-15-days-preparation-strategy-ramesh-batlish-managing-partner-and-head-fiitjee-noida
Hello aspirant,
If your syllabus is completed with theory , use the next 30 days only for smart revision . Make short notes and revise formulas daily for Physics , Chemistry and Maths . Solve previous year JEE Main questions topic-wise and then full mock tests every 3-4 days. Analyse mistakes properly and revise weak areas again . Avoid new topics and focus on accuracy , speed and confidence building during revision.

Preparing for the JEE Main in just 30 days is a challenging but achievable task if you follow a highly disciplined and strategic approach. According to the Careers360 30-day study plan , the key is to shift your focus from learning everything to mastering high-weightage topics and practicing rigorously.
During the first 15 days, prioritize topics that frequently appear in the exam.
Physics: Modern Physics, Heat & Thermodynamics, Optics, and Current Electricity.
Chemistry: GOC (General Organic Chemistry), Chemical Bonding, p-Block elements, and Solutions.
Maths: Matrices & Determinants, Sequences & Series, Coordinate Geometry, and Vector & 3D Geometry.
Study Strategy: Use NCERT for Chemistry and simplified notes for Physics/Maths. Spend 3-4 hours on each subject daily.
Short Notes: Go through the short notes you made during the first two weeks.
Flashcards: Use flashcards for inorganic chemistry reactions and physics formulas.
Mock Tests: Start giving one full-length mock test every alternate day. Analyze your mistakes immediately to avoid repeating them.
Previous Year Papers (PYQs): Solve the last 3-5 years of JEE Main papers in the actual exam time slot (9 AM–12 PM or 3 PM–6 PM) to sync your body clock.
No New Topics: Stop picking up new chapters. Focus solely on what you already know to build confidence.
Accuracy over Speed: Focus on getting the questions right rather than attempting all of them, as negative marking can significantly lower your percentile.

Hello
I think your question sounds like this: "Can a candidate who passed Class 12 in 2025 and filled JEE Main Session 1 apply for Session 2 as 'Appearing' in 2026 as a fresh board candidate, and will both sessions have the same details? "
So yes, you can fill the JEE Main Session 2 as "Appearing". The information filled in Session 1 will remain exactly as it was and will not change.
Session 1 and Session 2 are treated as separate applications. There is no issue if the qualifying status is different in both sessions. During counselling, the board marks that meet the 75 rule will be considered.
Hello,
If you filled the JEE Main January form with Class 12 passed in 2025 and are planning to appear again for the Class 12 exam through HOS, there is usually no serious issue. You were eligible to apply since you had already passed Class 12. Reappearing through HOS for improvement or requalification is allowed, provided HOS is a recognized board. During counselling, your latest valid Class 12 result will be considered. Make sure you meet the 75% marks or top 20 percentile requirement where applicable. If a correction window opens, update details if needed.
Hope this has solved your query. Thank You.
