JEE Main: Avoid Guessing, Master Strategy for 90+ Percentile
- •JEE Main has negative marking; guessing can severely impact scores and qualification for IITs/NITs.
- •Read questions carefully, paying attention to words like 'Not True' or 'Except', to avoid silly mistakes.
- •Never guess, even in 50-50 scenarios; 0 marks are better than -1.
- •Utilize the elimination method to rule out incorrect options, but only with conceptual clarity.
- •Be meticulous with units and calculations, keeping rough work neat to prevent errors.
- •Solve the paper in rounds: first sure answers, then thoughtful ones, then nearly solved.
- •Maintain an 'Error Diary' to analyze mistakes and avoid repeating them in future tests.
Why It Matters: Strategic preparation and avoiding negative marking are crucial for high scores in JEE Main.
