Points to Remember While Solving NAT Questions
Make sure that you are clear with each topic's concepts and logic through in-depth theory and examples to help you understand it practically and ultimately make your logic clearer
Make sure you have understood the question by carefully reading it. Understand what information is already available and what information needs to be acquired
Determine your preparedness to respond to the question. Skip a question if you don't have an answer for it
Do not waste too much time on one question if you are not sure
Make it a habit to focus on the Units that represent a physical quantity's value
Avoid rushing through questions as this can result in silly mistakes on the JEE Main exam. Check to see if your steps to the solution are right
Negative marking applies to numerical value questions starting in 2023, therefore only attempt the question if you are certain of the answer
When answering the questions, be calm and don't get anxious
Work through the numerical value questions from the JEE previous year's papers to improve your chapter-by-chapter knowledge
To move through everything swiftly, prepare and practice concepts from books like JEE 30 Days Crash Course
Practice numeric questions every day. Set a dependable goal—such as completing 20 problems each day—and gradually raise the level of difficulty. Practice with the 4000+ questions on JEE Champion. More practice is always better
Practice using a variety of JEE Main 2025 Mock Tests and JEE 2025 Sample Papers using the most recent exam pattern, and immediately analyze the results
For example, if a candidate calculates an answer to be 10/3, they might get confused as to how to enter their response. It should always be remembered that- For maximum accuracy when answering questions of a Numerical Answer Type, write your response up to two decimal places; for example, if your response is 10/3, write it as 10,33, but if it is 10,399, you can either write it as 10,39 or 10,4.
