The test was taken by more than seventy students from various schools from the Delhi NCR region. The students were JEE aspirants from 10^th, 11^th and 12^th standards. The students took the test under the strict eyes of the Wiley Maestro editorial team. The teachers from their school were also present during the examinations.

After the test, the students got a chance to interact with our authors Mr. Chouhan and Mr. Singhal. The students asked several questions regarding, time management, which subjects to focus one, the difference in exam patterns of JEE and NEET and how to choose the right college and the right stream. The authors answered their queries and told them to take the next two years of preparation with utmost seriousness and to waste as less time as possible. The authors also talked about how the students should focus on finding out which stream they are most interested in joining. All the students got a participation certificate which was presented to them by the authors. The top three scorers of the test will get a surprise gift from Wiley Maestro.
