JEE Main Maths Practice Plan: How Many Questions, in What Order

Maths is the subject where practice volume shows up most directly in your score. But volume without feedback just reinforces mistakes.

A daily structure

1. Warm-up (15 min): five questions from yesterday's chapter.
2. Main block (90 min): the day's chapter: examples first, then problems of rising difficulty.
3. Timed set (30 min): ten mixed questions.
4. Log (10 min): record mistakes and the idea behind each.

The order to cover chapters

Start with the most concentrated chapters (see which subject is most concentrated):

1. Co-ordinate Geometry
2. Integral Calculus
3. Limit, Continuity and Differentiability
4. Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations
5. Then matrices, vectors, 3D, probability, trigonometry and the rest

Track accuracy

Record, for each chapter, how many questions you attempted and how many were right. An accuracy below about 70% means the chapter needs another pass.

Speed comes later

First learn to solve each type correctly. Then do timed sets. Most students reverse this and develop both slow and wrong habits.
