Question 1

Is the JEE Main mock test free on SortMyExam?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can take a free full-length JEE Main mock test, free chapter tests and free    previous year papers, with solutions and All India Rank. The full JEE Main test series 2026–27 with more    mocks and deeper analytics is part of a paid plan.

Question 2

How many questions are there in a JEE Main mock test?

Accepted Answer

75 questions: 25 each in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. Each subject has 20 multiple-   choice questions in Section A and 5 numerical-value questions in Section B. All 75 are compulsory, for 300    marks in 3 hours.

Question 3

Is there negative marking in Section B of JEE Main?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Since JEE Main 2025, numerical-value questions in Section B carry −1 for a wrong    answer, the same as Section A MCQs. Correct answers get +4 in both sections.

Question 4

Is the SortMyExam JEE CBT simulator the same as the official NTA interface?

Accepted Answer

It is built on the layout of the NTA interface, with the same palette states, section tabs,    numeric keypad and timer behaviour. It is not NTA's official software; NTA's own practice tests are    available on its website and the National Test Abhyas app.

Question 5

What is an NTA JEE Main practice test?

Accepted Answer

It is a mock test released by NTA so candidates can see the official interface before the    exam. It is useful for familiarity, but it has limited tests and solutions, so most aspirants use a full test    series for regular practice.

Question 6

When is JEE Main 2027 Session 1?

Accepted Answer

As per the NTA exam calendar reported in September 2026, Session 1 is scheduled for 22–24    and 28–30 January 2027, with 31 January as a reserve date. Confirm the final dates on the official JEE Main    website.

Question 7

Can I take a JEE Physics mock or JEE Maths test separately?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Subject-wise mocks for Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics are available, each with 25    questions and one hour.

Question 8

How is the estimated percentile in my mock result calculated?

Accepted Answer

It shows the percentage of test-takers who scored equal to or less than you on the same    SortMyExam mock. It is a practice benchmark, not your official NTA percentile, which is calculated only from    the real exam.

Question 9

How many JEE Main mock tests should I take?

Accepted Answer

Most aspirants take 25 to 40 full-length mocks between finishing the syllabus and Session    2, plus regular chapter and subject tests. Analysing each mock matters more than the number.

Question 10

When should I start full-length JEE Main mocks?

Accepted Answer

Once most of the syllabus is complete, usually from November for a January session. Before    that, use chapter tests and part-syllabus mocks.

Question 11

Are previous year JEE Main papers available in CBT mode?

Accepted Answer

Yes. January and April session papers are available shift by shift in CBT mode and as PDFs    with solutions.

Question 12

Are the mocks useful for JEE Advanced?

Accepted Answer

JEE Main mocks build speed and accuracy that help in JEE Advanced, but Advanced has a    different pattern and higher difficulty, so prepare for it separately after JEE Main.

Question 13

Can I attempt mocks on a phone?

Accepted Answer

Chapter tests work on a phone, but take full JEE Main mocks on a laptop or desktop,    because the real exam is on a computer.

Question 14

Are the mocks available in Hindi?

Accepted Answer

NTA conducts JEE Main in English, Hindi and several regional languages. SortMyExam JEE    Main mocks are available in English and Hindi, and you can switch language inside the test.

Question 15

Which subject should I attempt first in JEE Main?

Accepted Answer

There is no single best order. Many students start with Chemistry because it is usually    fastest, while others start with Mathematics while they are fresh. Try two or three orders in your first    mocks and keep the one that gives your highest and most consistent score.

Question 16

What is a good score in a JEE Main mock?

Accepted Answer

It depends on how hard the mock is and on the college you are aiming for, so a fixed    number can mislead. Track your estimated percentile and rank across several mocks instead; a steady rise over    four or five mocks is the clearest sign that your preparation is on track.

Question 17

Can droppers use this test series?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Droppers can start full mocks immediately and use the chapter analytics to target the    topics that cost them marks in their previous attempt.

Question 18

Do the solutions include shortcuts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every solution gives the standard method first and, where reliable, a faster method    for exam conditions.
