Is PYQ enough for JEE Main preparation?

No, only the previous year's questions are not enough; refer to the mock tests, sample papers, and reference books for effective preparation. 

 

Can I skip the mechanic's chapter?

It is not a good idea to skip any chapter that is included in the JEE Main 2025 official syllabus. 

 

How to score 200+ in JEE Mains 2025?

Make sure you cover the NCERT books, give yourself weekly targets, cover the syllabus according to the weightage, and refer to last year's papers for practice. With the right approach, you can score well in the JEE Main exam.
