How to Attempt JEE Advanced Paper?

Best tips and strategy to solve JEE Advanced paper :

Have proper sleep one night before the exam. This is very much important to concentrate properly in all the 6 hours of the JEE Advanced paper.
Do not attempt the paper in 1 round. Solve the paper in 2-3 rounds and mark the questions you left or which need a review in each round. Around 80% of the questions are of easy to moderate level, so it is important to first score in those questions.
Forget that you are attempting the JEE paper. Don’ think of what will be the result.
Attempt that subject first in which you are more confident.
Read the question very very carefully.
Mark the values and important data given in the question while reading it for the first time. It will help while you’ll be solving the question.
Leave the multiple answer correct question for the second round. They are actually 4 questions in 1 question.
Manage your rough work properly. It should not be that you are solving half of the question at some place and the other half at some other place.
Write properly while solving the questions. I am not saying to write very neatly and systematically. But sometimes in a hurry what happens is that 4 become 9 etc. So be careful.

All the best for the exam.
