Focus on revision, not new topics

With only a few days remaining, students may benefit more from revising concepts they have already studied rather than attempting entirely new chapters. Reviewing important formulas, diagrams, reactions and NCERT-based facts can help strengthen retention before the exam.

Candidates can also revisit short notes, highlighted points and previously prepared revision sheets to make the most of the remaining time.

Practice time management

A balanced revision plan can help candidates cover Physics, Chemistry and Biology without feeling overwhelmed. Solving a few timed practice papers or revising previously attempted mock tests may help improve speed and accuracy.

Students can also analyse mistakes made during earlier practice sessions and focus on avoiding them during the actual examination.

Avoid last-minute stress

As the examination day approaches, candidates should avoid overloading themselves with excessive study hours. Maintaining a proper sleep schedule and taking short breaks during revision can help improve concentration.

The NTA has also advised candidates to stay away from rumours and rely only on official information related to the examination.

Keep documents ready

Candidates should keep their admit card, valid photo identification and other required documents ready in advance to avoid last-minute confusion on exam day. They are also advised to visit the exam centre location beforehand, if possible, to estimate travel time.

According to official announcements, the examination will be conducted from 2 pm to 5:15 pm. The revised schedule provides a total duration of 195 minutes and includes additional time for administrative formalities.
