If you are preparing for JEE or NEET, this question probably comes to your mind almost every day:
How many questions should I practise daily for JEE or NEET?
Some students practise very few questions and feel guilty.
Some push themselves to practise 100 or more questions daily and burn out.
Most students are confused because they hear different advice from teachers, toppers, YouTube, and friends, and no one explains what actually works in daily preparation.
This confusion is dangerous because JEE and NEET are exams where daily practice quality matters more than motivation or long study hours.
In this blog, you will clearly understand:
- How many questions you should practise daily for JEE
- How many questions you should practise daily for NEET
- How the number changes based on your preparation stage
- Why practising more questions does not always improve scores
- How to build a daily practice system that actually leads to improvement
This is not motivational content. This is a practical decision-making guide.
Why Daily Question Practice Matters More Than Study Hours
JEE and NEET are application-based exams, not memory tests.
Your final score depends on:
- How many relevant questions you have practised
- How often you made mistakes and corrected them
- How consistently you practised over months
Two students may both study 6 hours a day.
The one who practises questions daily and analyses mistakes properly almost always scores higher.
This is why deciding how many questions you practise daily is not a small detail.
It defines whether your preparation is structured or random.
How Many Questions Should You Practise Daily for JEE?
JEE preparation requires:
- Strong conceptual clarity
- Multi-step problem solving
- Accuracy under time pressure
Because of this, daily question practice for JEE must be stage-based, not extreme.
Early-Stage JEE Preparation (Concept-Building Phase)
If you are:
- In Class 11
- In early Class 12
- Still learning concepts
Recommended daily question practice for JEE:
- 25–40 questions per day
Suggested subject split:
- Physics: 8–12 questions
- Chemistry: 8–12 questions
- Mathematics: 10–15 questions
Accuracy target: 40–55%
At this stage:
- Slow solving is normal
- Making mistakes is expected
Your goal here is understanding, not speed.
Increasing the number of questions too early only creates confusion.
Mid-Stage JEE Preparation (Syllabus Coverage Phase)
If most concepts are completed and you are practising regularly:
Recommended daily question practice for JEE:
- 40–60 questions per day
Accuracy target: 55–70%
Decision rule:
- If accuracy is below 55%, reduce the number of questions
- If accuracy is above 70%, you can slightly increase difficulty, not quantity
This phase decides whether your preparation becomes stable or chaotic.
Advanced-Stage JEE Preparation (Exam-Focused Phase)
If you are:
- Solving PYQs
- Giving mock tests
- Close to JEE Main or Advanced
Recommended daily question practice for JEE:
- 60–80 questions per day
This includes:
- PYQs
- Weak-topic practice
- Mock test questions
At this stage, analysis matters more than adding extra questions.
Solving 60 questions and analysing all mistakes is better than solving 100 blindly.
How Many Questions Should You Practise Daily for NEET?
NEET preparation is different from JEE.
It focuses more on:
- NCERT-based clarity
- Speed
- High accuracy
So daily question practice for NEET must be consistent and repeatable, not exhausting.
Early-Stage NEET Preparation
If you are still covering syllabus:
Recommended daily question practice for NEET:
- 30–45 questions per day
Suggested subject split:
- Biology: 15–25 questions
- Chemistry: 10–15 questions
- Physics: 8–12 questions
Accuracy target: 50–60%
At this stage, repeated exposure matters more than speed.
Mid to Advanced NEET Preparation
If syllabus is mostly completed:
Recommended daily question practice for NEET:
- 50–70 questions per day
Accuracy target: 65–80%
Decision rule:
- Accuracy below 60% → reduce quantity
- Accuracy above 75% → maintain, do not rush to increase
For NEET, stability beats intensity.
How Much Daily Practice Is Actually Enough?
Students often ask:
“Is this much practice enough for JEE or NEET?”
Here is the honest answer:
Practice is enough only when you can analyse it properly.
Your daily practice is effective only if you can clearly answer:
- Which topic caused the most mistakes today?
- Were mistakes conceptual or careless?
- Should this topic be revised again?
If you cannot answer these questions, the number of questions does not matter.
Why Practising More Questions Does Not Always Improve Scores
A very common belief is:
“If I practise more questions daily, my score will improve.”
In reality, many students practise:
- 80–100 questions daily
- Analyse only 10–15
After one or two months:
- Same mistakes repeat
- Mock scores stagnate
- Confidence drops
Compare this with a student who practises:
- 45–50 questions daily
- Analyses every mistake
The second student almost always improves faster.
Learning happens during analysis, not during blind solving.
Student Profiles: Which One Are You?
Profile 1: The Over-Practiser
- Solves many questions
- Skips analysis
- Feels busy but stuck
Fix: Reduce quantity. Increase analysis.
Profile 2: The Inconsistent Student
- Practises heavily some days
- Skips practice on others
Fix: Fix a minimum daily target and stick to it.
Profile 3: The Accurate but Slow Student
- Good accuracy
- Low speed
Fix: Maintain quantity. Improve time management gradually.
Identifying your profile is more important than copying someone else’s routine.
A Practical Daily Question Practice Strategy
You can follow this simple daily structure:
1. Warm-up (10 minutes)
Revise formulas or reactions
2. Practice session (90–120 minutes)
Solve the planned number of questions
3. Analysis session (30–45 minutes)
- Why was the question wrong?
- Was it a concept issue or a careless mistake?
- Does this topic need revision?
Some students track this using notebooks.
Others use platforms like Super Tutor to track:
- Daily questions practised
- Accuracy trends
- Weak topics over time
The tool is not important. Tracking is.
7-Day and 30-Day Practice Example
Unstructured practice:
- Day 1: 80 questions
- Day 2: 20 questions
- Day 3: No practice
- Result: No clarity, no confidence
Structured practice:
- 45 questions daily
- 30–45 minutes analysis
- Same target for 7–30 days
Result:
- Clear weak areas
- Stable accuracy
- Better mock performance
Consistency always beats intensity.
Common Daily Practice Mistakes Students Make
- Practising only strong topics
- Increasing quantity without improving accuracy
- Skipping analysis due to lack of time
- Not knowing weekly practice numbers
These mistakes quietly stop improvement even when effort feels high.
What You Should Do Today
Today, keep it simple:
- Choose a target between 30–50 questions
- Practise only that many questions
- Analyse every mistake honestly
- Note which topics cause the most errors
If your current system does not clearly show:
- How many questions you practise daily
- Where you lose marks
- What you need to fix next
Then your preparation is unstructured, and unstructured preparation rarely leads to top ranks.
Conclusion
There is no magic number of questions.
But there is a correct range, a correct method, and a correct mindset.
If you practise the right number of questions daily, analyse properly, and stay consistent, improvement becomes unavoidable. This is how serious JEE and NEET preparation actually works.
