We all know (and wish were not true sometimes), mastering an engineering entrance exam doesn’t happen overnight.

Here are five golden rules for success in JEE Advanced:

• JEE Advanced is an upgraded level of JEE Main. So, go ahead and dust off the Best Books for JEE Advanced. Sign up for the JEE Advanced preparation lessons and achieve great score.
• Preparing your own notes is very important. Create notes after second or third reading of the chapter. When you have a collection of subject-wise notes all in one place. All in all, taking notes is a subtle, but powerful, way to make yourself more successful in learning & memorizing.
• If you’re a visual thinker, try a mind map for preparing the notes. Start by writing the topic at the center of the page. From there, draw branches out to every key topic studied.
• Without regular practice, the slip from Master to Journeyman is too easy. Practicing same concepts & topics again & again might be painful, but it preserves & build your preparation.
• Prepare for Exam as per the latest JEE Advanced 2018 Pattern & Syllabus.

Think about it!

You solve 20 questions daily & you are content with your preparation level.
