How to attempt this IIT JAM test

IIT JAM gives you three hours for 60 questions in three formats — MCQ, MSQ and NAT. Spend the first pass on the 1-mark questions, keep MSQs for when you are sure of every option (there is no partial credit), and leave NAT questions for a calm second pass since they carry no negative marking.

1. Attempt it in one sitting with the timer on. Do not pause to look things up.
2. Use Mark for Review on questions you want to revisit instead of spending too long on them.
3. After submitting, open the solution for every wrong and every guessed question.
4. Retake the questions you missed a few days later to check the concept has stuck.
