- Focus on studying topics that are your weak points and continue practicing sample papers/previous year papers.
- In the last month practice the exam papers during the same timings as the official exam, this will help you get into the habit of remembering and writing answers at that time.
- If group studies suit you try discussing physics concepts, quiz each other on chemistry topics and attempt Maths quizzes together.
- Keep reading your quick revision notes.

The best way to prepare would be to prepare for your School boards together with JEE Mains as the basic concepts are similar. Although format of tests is different you can still utilize the knowledge gained for the board exams for JEE Mains preparation.
