Collect previous year's papers

While most will suggest starting with preparing a timetable, I ask you to first gather the previous year's papers. Previous year question papers are a gold mine which can prove to be beneficial when deciding how you should strategize your study plan. So firstly, begin with consulting previous year's papers and go on to look through the various questions. See if any questions are repeated, the type of questions asked and which topics are more prominent.

Set your timetable

Bifurcate the topics based on your difficulty level. Give more time to the difficult topics and topics from which questions are frequently asked. However, don't completely concentrate on one category of topics. Instead, maintain a balance between easy and difficult topics. 

Revise and practice

Studying alone won't fruit results. Thus, revise and practice every time you complete one topic. Keep revising the topics every alternate day to be in the loop with what you have studied. While revising, make sure you give enough time to the topics you are weak at. Practising more questions on tough topics will definitely help to master those topics.

Thus, the midst of the worry of exams, do not forget to take rest, sleep well without burning the night oil and indulge in other activities like sports or good read of a novel!

Last 2-3 months before JEE

Follow the above timetable but now divert your preparation towards indulging more in revision and solving questions. Solve as many papers as possible, take as many mock tests as required and revise, practice, revise!

Cover the pending topics without forgetting to revise the previously covered ones.

A month before the exam

DO NOT START WITH ANY NEW TOPIC!

Herein, keep yourself calm and just go with the flow. Eat well, sleep well and spend time in revision.

A week before

Just revise through the cheat notes, the formulae, vocabulary, etc. DO NOT START ANY NEW TOPIC!

Other fun ways to study:

Revise by uttering the answers aloud. As per human psychology, talking to self helps in remembering things. Hence, read loud and revise.

Stand in front of the mirror and talk
