Very few days is left for Board exam. Pressure must have increased. I
know you must be thinking about how to handle so much pressure ????
Board Exam > JEE Main > JEE Advanced !!!
I have gone through the same pressure last year. If I am not mistaken your first exam will be
--> English paper will have reading and writing section . Focus more on writing section. Because if your writing section will be good then teacher will give you good marks if your reading section is not so good.
--> In writing section practice writing notice, letter writing , report writing , article , debate thoroughly from "Evergreen book" . It has enough questions with solutions with past year questions.
--> Regarding the reading section , know the gist of story , message , characters name, places etc. Read the text book prescribed for your board thoroughly.
--> Make short notes of these points in separate copy. It will help you in quick revision before the exam.If english paper go well then half of pressure gets reduced .
Next usually you will have Mathematics then Physics then Chemistry.
--> So better sit with a pen and paper and write down the solutions to even the easy questions.
--> There is step marking in maths.
--> So first write what is given in question in short. Show the rough work in the end of page .
--> While writing your answer after calculation write it in rectangular box. It helps you in differentiating you from other students.
--> Practice Maths previous year papers .
--> I suggest you follow "Brothers and Goyal " math question bank.
There are certain topics that are not in Jee syllabus. Prepare it also.
Do the same with Physics and Chemistry .
--> For practice of physical chemistry you may follow NCERT exemplar.
--> Prepare the Inorganic part thoroughly. It is scoring.
--> Always write chemical equation in explaining answer.
--> Solve the question bank of atleast last 4 years. If you solve it then almost 55 - 60 marks is confirmed.
--> While writing answers mention the formulas clearly . Teachers give more marks in writing equations .
--> Make sure you have memorized all the tables and diagrams mentioned in NCERT for both Physics and Chemistry. Tables are very very important . Direct questions are asked from it.
Lastly comes the optional subject (Computer/Physical education/Hindi/any other).My optional subject was IP. If your optional subject is Informatics Practice, then practice the programs by writing in computer. Learn the important definitions .
Again practice the sample paper. Getting above 90% in CBSE board is very easy. It just requires practise of atleast last 5 years question papers . For CBSE Board , the GodBook is NCERT .
Don't search for unnecessary guides and all. Guides are required for English and optional subject. Make sure to follow the syllabus strictly. You should not end up wasting time on something else that is not really required.
Remember you have to be in the top 20 percentile of your board for admission in IITs. As you know there will be no weightage will be given for calculating the AIR in JEE Main. But it is required to score atleast 75 - 80 percent of marks.
All the best.

I have gone through the same pressure last year. If I am not mistaken your first exam will be
(A.) English
--> If you have spent atleast one hour throughout the years in studying english then you should just practice sample papers of Evergreen Publications daily for three hours. Or you can use other books also . It is just recommended. I have followed this book.--> English paper will have reading and writing section . Focus more on writing section. Because if your writing section will be good then teacher will give you good marks if your reading section is not so good.

--> Make short notes of these points in separate copy. It will help you in quick revision before the exam.If english paper go well then half of pressure gets reduced .
Next usually you will have Mathematics then Physics then Chemistry.
(B.) Mathematics
Study NCERT in great detail. Solve the examples given in maths book. They might seem easy but if you don't have a practice of "writing" a solution thoroughly , then you will be facing problem in your Board exam.--> So better sit with a pen and paper and write down the solutions to even the easy questions.
--> There is step marking in maths.
--> So first write what is given in question in short. Show the rough work in the end of page .

--> I suggest you follow "Brothers and Goyal " math question bank.
There are certain topics that are not in Jee syllabus. Prepare it also.
Do the same with Physics and Chemistry .
(C.) Chemistry
Prepare NCERT thoroughly and you will be done with class 12th syllabus of JEE Main and JEE advanced too (partly).--> For practice of physical chemistry you may follow NCERT exemplar.
--> Prepare the Inorganic part thoroughly. It is scoring.
--> Always write chemical equation in explaining answer.
--> Solve the question bank of atleast last 4 years. If you solve it then almost 55 - 60 marks is confirmed.
(D.) Physics
-->Make sure to cover all the proofs and derivations in Physics. They are important.--> While writing answers mention the formulas clearly . Teachers give more marks in writing equations .
--> Make sure you have memorized all the tables and diagrams mentioned in NCERT for both Physics and Chemistry. Tables are very very important . Direct questions are asked from it.
