JEE Main 2026 Math Strategy for Last 30 Days
To study maths effectively in the last 30 days, focus should be on the chapters that are high-scoring. Watch the lectures of these chapters and use the coaching materials to strengthen the conceptual understanding. When it comes to maths, prioritise PYQs and practice questions.
High-scoring chapters in Mathematics:
These chapters carry the highest weightage. Almost 5-6 on average questions have been frequently asked in the past 5 years’ papers. Here is the list of those chapters/topics:
- Vectors 3D
- Calculus – Limits, Continuity, and Integration
- Circles
- Coordinate geometry – straight lines, Parabola, Ellipse, and Hyperbola.
- Matrices and Determinants
- Sets, Relations, and Functions
- Probability
Matrix Topper Tips:
- Solve 50-100 questions daily from JEE Main PYQs and DPPs (Daily Practice Papers).
- The first 10 days should be focused on revising formulas and concepts.
- Keep an error analysis notebook and rectify mistakes. For this you need to read more about “How to Avoid Silly Mistakes in JEE Main 2026 Exam.”
- Practice using a timer while solving Math problems.
- Revise formulas every day.
Matrix Faculty, Mr Anil Gora Sir, advises students to keep a single formula sheet for every chapter. Stick to the coaching modules and revise weak topics daily through self-quizzes.
JEE Main Physics Preparation Strategy for Last 30 Days
For physics, toppers suggest avoiding completely new topics. Solve 80-100 PYQ questions daily. Spend 3 hours daily on high-scoring chapters and solve both numerical and theoretical questions. Focus on modern physics, thermodynamics and heat for the first 10 days. Next 10 days, finish electrostatics, optics and current electricity. Matrix modules have chapter-wise questions and formula sheets. Use them while solving nuemricals to improve accuracy.

Topper Mindset in Last 30 days of JEE Main Preparation
During the last 30 days, toppers adopt a practical mindset of consistency, resilience, and a focused approach. The final 30 days are all about revision, mock tests, strengthening concepts and error analysis. Let us discuss the mindset approach taken by Matrix toppers Rishabh Meel (AIR 70, JEE Advanced), Gaurav Pareek (99.98%iler) and Bhavya Modi (99.97%iler) in the last 30 days of Session 2 exam.
- In the last 30 days, Rishabh Meel advises focusing on mock tests and treating every mock as the real exam. While giving the mocks, students should create an exam strategy on how to select which questions to attempt and which not.
- Toppers advise focusing on coaching materials as they include all the necessary information required to ace the JEE Main exam. Referring to coaching materials and using them as notes saves time as well.
- Doubt resolution must be done on the same day.
- Take care of your mental health and do stress management practices, as the last 30 days are extremely crucial.

Mistakes to Avoid in the Last 30 days of JEE Main 2026
The final 30 days before the JEE Main 2026 exam are a crucial time period for every JEE aspirant. If studied with the right strategy, these 30 days can help increase your percentile to 99. There are some common mistakes that JEE aspirants often make during the last 30 days that reduce their score.
- Many students begin a new topic, attempting to cover the JEE Main syllabus within the last 30 days. But toppers advise not to do so. The reasoning behind this is that studying new chapters can create confusion and also build anxiety, which should be avoided in the last 30 days.
- You have to thoroughly understand the JEE Main exam pattern in the last 30 days as any changes in the recent exam pattern might affect your result and performance.
- It is very common to forget formulas in the last days before the exam. But this can be tackled by regularly revising without being stressed. Regular revision, along with practice questions, will help with remembering formulas.
- Many students believe NCERT plays a small role in the last 30 days of JEE Main preparation time. However, NCERT should be referred to for brushing up on the basics and gaining conceptual depth.
- In the last 30 days, giving full-length mocks is crucial. Students should focus on giving full-length as well as chapter-wise mocks.
- Toppers always make a revision plan so that they retain whatever they studied for a longer time. Scientifically, students should revise whatever they studied once every 3 days, 7 days and twice a month.

To score a decent percentile like 90 percentile in JEE Main 2026 within a month is possible. Focus on clearing the basics through NCERT. It is suggested to be thorough with the NCERT and coaching materials. Solve past 10 years PYQs.
It is not realistic to try to cover the entire JEE Main 2026 syllabus in one month. Instead, JEE aspirants can focus on finishing all the high-weightage chapters that are frequently asked in the exam. Focus on covering 60-70% of the syllabus for all three subjects, including mathematics, physics, and chemistry.
In the last month remaining for JEE Main 2026, it is advised to study 8-10 hours every day. These hours should be focused study sessions, eliminating all distractions. To avoid burnout, divide the study sessions smartly. For example, study mathematics and physics in the morning. Read theory in the afternoon and revise at night.
In the final month of JEE Main 2026, mocks play a crucial role. It is suggested to attempt 13-15 full-length mocks in the final month. Students can give sectional mocks every day to level up their preparation and increase conceptual depth.
Toppers believe that no new concepts should be started in the final month. Studying new concepts can create stress. Instead, brush up on the chapters you already know and give mocks.
The 80/20 rule states that almost 80% of the JEE Main score is possible by studying 20% of the JEE Main syllabus. This is called the Pareto Principle. Certain chapters, like thermodynamics, Electricity and Alternating Current, and other high-scoring chapters, will help in maximising your JEE score.
