The low score in a test, or series of tests, doesn’t have to demotivate or affect your JEE preparation. You can still clear your target exam with good rank if you consider the below points and take action now.

Tips to Improve Your Scores in JEE Tests: 

 Analyse your tests

Take a look at each test and assess if there’s anything you can do to improve your score. The purpose of the periodic tests in coaching is to make you realize your mistakes and not to repeat them in the succeeding tests.

Find your mistakes (they can be silly ones) and keep a note of them. Next time when appear for a test, have a look at the previous mistakes and try not to repeat them this time.

Talk to your teacher about your problems/doubts/weak spots

Teachers (for JEE  preparation) love students who are proactive and ask questions. Talk to them about the things you didn’t understand while solving the paper. They will tell you whether you need to work on your concepts, theory part, or need more practice to solve specific type of problems.

Have a voice in the classroom (or after the class when teacher open the session for questions). It never hurts to ask your doubts !

 Be well prepared for upcoming tests

Don’t think about the final paper, the JEE exam, focus on doing better in next test. It’s a gradual process to improvement till the final day of the exam. Make sure you are clear on what you need to do to really ace these upcoming tests to raise the score as much as possible.

Successful test taking avoids carelessness. Learn your study material thoroughly. Summarize which chapters, topics, formulas etc. you expect will be on the test. Use a checklist. Choose a comfortable location for taking the test with good lighting and minimal distractions.

 Make a notebook containing your mistakes

Make a notebook containing your silly mistakes, what went wrong, unnecessary calculations, time spent on solving the question, etc. Revise this notebook every time before the next test.

Avoid thinking you need to cram just before the test

You’ve prepared well enough! Avoid speaking with any fellow students who have not prepared, who express negativity and distract your preparation.

Relax during the test

Expect some test anxiety. It’s normal. Use relaxation techniques if you find yourself tensing and getting anxious during the test. Take slow, deep breaths. Don’t think about the fear. Acknowledge that you have done, and are doing, your best. Read the instructions carefully.

Approach the exam with confidence

Use whatever strategies you can to perform well – visualization, logic, talking to your self, practice, etc. View the exam as an opportunity to show how much you’ve studied and to receive a reward for the studying you’ve done.

Answer questions in a strategic order

Solve easy questions first to build confidence. In objective tests, it’s good to eliminate obvious incorrect answers.

Review the answers if you have time

Check if you have answered all the questions and not made any errors or mis-marked any answers. Change answers to questions if you erred or misread the question (this advantage is available in JEE Main and JEE Advanced).
