Contrary to popularTop 5 Mistakes Students Make in JEE Preparation — And How to Avoid ThemContrary to popular
JEE is not just a test of knowledge — it’s a test of strategy, consistency, and clarity. Every year, lakhs of students study hard, but only a few reach their target colleges. Why? Because most fall into the same common traps during their preparation.
In this blog, we uncover the Top 5 JEE preparation mistakes and show you exactly how to avoid them — with the help of the JEE Prep Master platform.
Mistake #1: Ignoring NCERT and Focusing Only on Reference Books Many aspirants jump straight to tough reference books and coaching material, ignoring the NCERT textbooks, especially in Chemistry. This leads to weak conceptual clarity and poor basics.
How to Avoid:
For Chemistry, complete NCERT line by line before moving to MS Chauhan or other books.
Mistake #2: Not Giving Regular Tests Studying without testing is like preparing for a race without running practice. Students often keep “studying” without giving chapter-wise or full syllabus tests, fearing poor marks.
How to Avoid:
Make weekly testing a habit. Use JEE Prep Master to give timed JEE Main/Advanced pattern tests. Use performance analysis to improve weak areas.
