Preparation Tips 

These JEE Main 2024 Chemistry exam preparation tips can aid applicants in getting ready for the exam.

  • The student must first thoroughly evaluate each section and identify where more time needs to be allotted. Accordingly allocating time to those sections will aid the aspirants in grasping more material at the right time.
  • Making and following a schedule is the most effective method for studying. After some time, the candidate might adjust the schedule in accordance with the speed and comprehension of particular subjects that he/she gains in a few days. Students should make a schedule in accordance with how much time he/she has to spend on each topic.
  • One of the most essential aspects of preparing for Chemistry for JEE Main is being consistent with your preparation. Students must consistently study for the exam because the material is so broad and theoretical. A student can only memorize all the topics if they regularly devote attention to the subject.
  • One of the most vital parts of preparation for JEE Main 2024 Chemistry is setting aside time for revising previously covered material. Since the subject is fairly theoretical, students will need to keep returning to the chapters they have already completed in order to keep them in mind and become well-versed in them.
  • For JEE Main 2024 Chemistry, it is not advised to study from multiple books. All candidates should use a few reliable books to aid their preparation. Using multiple books as references wastes time while attempting to understand the language and also contributes to incoherence as certain foreign publications may employ various difficult terminologies.
  • While preparing for the Chemistry portion, it is crucial to understand and memorize key topics like the Periodic Table, Atomic Weights, Atomic Symbols, Atomic Numbers, etc. Doing this allows you to write the exam in much less time and score much higher. 

Books for JEE Main 2024 Chemistry Preparation 

Here are some books that will help the candidates to get ready for the JEE Main 2024 Chemistry exam:

  • Organic Chemistry by O.P Tandon
  • Organic Chemistry by Morrison and Boyd
  • Inorganic Chemistry by J.D Lee
  • Physical Chemistry by Atkin’s
  • Concept of Physical Chemistry by P. Bahadur
