SE asked, hi what are the best books to prepare for JEE
Soumya Banerjee, CEO, Attano answers, There are several books that you can use. However, what you need now (given that there is just one fortnight) for the exam is a last minute revision pack which gives you a combination of chapter-level revision, subject-level tests and an interactive mock exam similar to the real world experience. You can evaluate our pack at www.attano.com/jee-prep (if you just gave your board exams) and www.attano.com/jee if you are giving it for the second time

gowthamam asked, Dear Deepak & Soumya, it is nice to see such an initiative from you. How many mock tests should I take before the JEE?
Deepak Agarwal, Director AIETS answers, It depends on your confidence level. But you should take atleast 5-6 Mock tests in last 15 days. Note analysis of these tests is very important. Most of the students ignore the analysis. The analysis, if done seriously, will definitely highlight your weak areas.

MMSINGH asked, HI SIR WHAT WILL BE EXPECTED CUT OFF FOR JEE MAIN FOR QUALIFIYING IN 150000 STUDENT FOR JEE ADVANCE
Deepak Agarwal, Director AIETS answers, We expect a cut-off of 55-60% for JEE Main. Please keep this in mind while attempting the paper.

Deepak Agarwal, Director AIETS says, I thank you all for your questions. I hope we have answered your queries. Thank you very much.

Soumya Banerjee, CEO, Attano says, Thankyou everyone and all the best for the JEE.
