• Do not get demotivated or overexcited on seeing the question paper. Keep your balance. Demotivation will make even easy questions appear tough and overconfidence will make you commit silly mistakes.

• Do not get depressed by tough questions. Instead remind yourself that these questions are tough for every aspirant.
• Do not get emotionally attached to any question. It is not necessary that you will be able to solve a question from topics you have prepared well.
• Do not worry about the minimum cut-off marks for JEE. No one knows about the cut-off for sure, but no one has ever been rejected on the basis of any subject-wise minimum cut-off.
• Do not argue with anyone about anything before the test.
• Have faith in God and in yourself. Whatever happens to you will be for the best.

Keep depressing thoughts away

• First of all, realize that you are not the only one facing anxiety. Each IIT-JEE aspirant is facing the same dilemma.
• Also realize that if you have studied even 60% of JEE syllabus properly, you need not harbour negative thoughts. Your success at the screening test is ensured.
• Whenever you feel tensed, start a countdown from 50 to 1. It will help you release tension.
• Light stretching exercise also helps reduce pent-up tension.
• If you are feeling tensed, do not suffer alone. The company of friends and light chit-chat will help you divert your mind from negative thoughts.
