How to use this paper
Attempt it like the real exam: set a 3-hour timer and sit Paper 2 in one go, then take Paper 1 after a short break, the same way the exam runs on one day.
Mark it carefully: JEE Advanced rewards accuracy. Check the marking table above before you guess: question types with negative marks cost you for a wrong answer, so practise leaving those out when you're unsure.
Go chapter by chapter after: note every question you got wrong by chapter, then practise those chapters from chapter-wise PYQ books before the next full paper.
