I am telling you for 2 weeks because 1 week would be too less to start..you should start at max level from 2 weeks only so here is my strategy for you-
Given that you have two weeks which is approximately 150 hours, assuming that you can dedicate 10 hours everyday, exclusively,  for JEE preparations. Clearly, you don't have sufficient time to learn everything especially concepts which are difficult to grasp. Time is a valuable resource for you which has to be utilized  efficiently.
For that I would recommend you to follow a time management scheme like the one mentioned below:

Step 1: First 4 days (40 hrs)

Take 5-10 sample tests. This will not only build a test taking aptitude but will also help you to gauge your strengths and weaknesses. Make sure that after taking a test you thoroughly examine the solution and note the following questions:
1. Questions you could solve: These are your strengths and you need to revise them before your exam. 

2. Questions that you could not solve but you could understand their solutions: Now, these may be the topics you have forgotten about, and may wish to revise 
or these may be some new  topics which are extremely easy but you may have missed them during your prior preparations. We will come back to them in step 2. 

3. Questions that you could not solve, you could not understand their solutions and you don't hope to solve them in JEE: If you find certain questions/topics to be hopeless and scary there is no point in wasting time with these topics.  BEST STRATEGIES ARE OFTEN SELECTIVE.

Step 2: Next 4 days (40 hrs)

Remember, those questions you could not solve but you felt like they were easy and you could understand their solutions. Now is the time to get back to them. Use this time to revise those long lost concepts from class XI.  You can also utilize this time to learn some easier topics which you had noted in Step 1. This can include high scoring topics such as Modern Physics which are often neglected. Now, if you still got some time, there is no harm in learning a few easier formula from apparently difficult topics. Who knows you might get lucky!

Step 3: Last 6 days (60 hours)

REVISE EVERYTHING! I mean everything you have learnt which include topics you are confident about and topics you have recently learnt in last 4 days. This should be an exhaustive process where you go through each one of those topics. 

And when you are done with all this, take a deep breath and get a sound sleep. You have done a good job and your efforts will be rewarded. ALL THE BEST!!
