JEE Main 26 Jun 2022 Paper Analysis Shift 2	Mathematics	Difficult	Calculations were challenging. Numerical answer-type questions were difficult.
JEE Main 26 Jun 2022 Paper Analysis Shift 1	Mathematics	Difficult	Numerical answer-type questions involved lengthy calculations. Major concentration was on conic sections. Other topics included in this section were matrices, three-dimensional geometry, mathematical reasoning, functions, limits, the area under curves, definite integrals, parabola, ellipse, and circle.
JEE Main 25 June 2022 Paper Analysis Shift 2	Mathematics	Moderate to Difficult	The main topics covered in this section were mathematical reasoning, the binomial theorem, vector, 3D geometry, and statistics.
JEE Main June 25 2022 Paper Analysis Shift 1	Mathematics	Difficult	The section was dominated by questions based on calculus.
JEE Main June 24 2022 Paper Analysis Shift 2	Mathematics	Difficult	Included 4-5 questions about hyperbola and eclipse.
JEE Main 24 June 2022 Paper Analysis Shift 1	Mathematics	Difficult	The calculation was difficult. Chapters like vectors, mathematical induction, Permutation & Combination, etc. were covered in the questions.
JEE Main 23 June 2022 Paper Analysis Shift 2	Mathematics	Moderate	Students did not find this section much more difficult.
JEE Main 23 June 2022 Paper Analysis Shift 1	Mathematics	Moderate to Difficult	A few questions were lengthy and required more calculations. More questions were asked from the geometry section

 

From the above analysis, we can say that:

• Students must expect the Mathematics section to be lengthy with complex calculations. 
• Questions are generally asked on topics like Calculus, Algebra, Geometry, Probability, and Conics. 
• Other important topics can be mathematical reasoning, the binomial theorem, vector, 3D geometry, integrals, differentiation, etc. 

 

Important Tips on JEE Main 2022 Mathematics Preparation 

Now that we have understood what kind of questions can be expected in the JEE Main Maths section and what is the general difficulty level of JEE Main 2022 Session 1 examination, we can create a study strategy for the next year or even for the next JEE Main Session. Given below are some of the best tips from our JEE Main Maths experts.

 

• Focus more on Calculus and Algebra as we can see many questions are asked from these two topics. Make sure to get your doubts solved as soon as possible if you are preparing for JEE Main 2022 Session 2 exam in July. 
• Create a formula sheet for JEE Main 2022. It is nothing but a sheet of paper or a document that includes all the important formulae for every topic that you have studied. If you know any short-cut tricks, mention them on your formula sheet. Read this sheet at least once a day and revise all the formulae. 
• Make your conceptual knowledge strong. You need to focus more on understanding how to apply the concept rather than just learning how to use the formula. Once you know how to apply the concept, it will be much easier for you to solve the length of questions in the exam. 
• Solve past year papers and sample papers every day. Practicing a variety of questions every day will help you prepare for all kinds of questions that can be asked in JEE Main. It will also make you familiar with the exam pattern of JEE Main. 
• Keep revising the topics as it will make it easier for you to remember the concepts. Pay special attention to topics frequently asked in the examination (we have listed a few above). 
• Get the right books and study materials that can help you solve questions and practice as much as possible. A few important books for JEE Main Maths preparation are R.D. Sharma for Class XI & XII, Trigonometry by S.L. Loney, Coordinate Geometry by S.L. Loney, Higher Algebra by Hall Knight, and Problems in Calculus of One Variable by L.A. Maron.
