Every person has a unique success story and it is suggested that never follow other person's step. Always mend your own ways and when it comes to setting a timetable, then it should be strictly created by yourself.
- Hours available for studies- Calculate the hours available with you for self-study. Don't create a speculative timetable which is almost impossible for you to follow. You would be having a daily schedule like your daily rituals, going to coaching centre, meeting friends etc. Curtail the events which are not important and stay focused towards your exam. Rather than spending time on something which is not your current priority, plan your hours accordingly in order to spend quality time in preparing for the exam.
- Days left for examination- Calculate the days left for your examination. Almost a month time is left for JEE Advanced 2018 examination. Calculate the total number of days and equally distribute the subjects accordingly. For instance, the timetable which you prepared three months back will not be that much help in the current situation. That time your priority would be on JEE Main examination. but as the priority has shifted, the timetable should also be re-planned.
- Knowing the detailed syllabus of JEE Advanced- Until now you would surely be knowing the detailed syllabus of JEE Advanced 2018. Analyze the syllabus for all three subjects i.e. Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics and distribute it equally so that no topic remains unattended.

It's true that you need to work more on your weaker sections but dont ignore your stronger side. Keep revising those topics in which you are confident and side by side work hard on your weaker sections.

- Weekly Revision- While planning your timetable, give a proper proportion of time to revision. At times students keep preparing numerous topics and forget to revise previous ones. Plan timetable in a way that all your topics are revised regularly. Practicing previous year papers and mock tests can provide help here. Apart from revision, they will also provide a detailed idea about examination pattern, weightage of various topics, the time taken to answer each question and areas where you are facing the problem.
- Stick to your plan- After creating a timetable, the most difficult task is to follow it. Create a timetable which could be followed. Work hard and make sure that you are studying according to the timetable set by you.
