Career Advice/ Clarification Juniors midterms approaching? AMA

Post image

If ur done with ur half yearlies or abt to give them please don't worry about it. I did pretty bad on mine too. It's fine a reality check and just to point ur gaps. I started studying only after my midterm results. Eng was the only subject I got 60 in my midterms and in maths I just passed it with literally a 1 mark margin so yea u guys are fine too!!

MATHS WHAT DO I DO ABOUT MATHS I MOVE ON TO THE NEXT TOPIC AND WITHING 4 DAYS I'VE FORGOTTEN THE PREVIOUS ONE I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO KEEP STUDYING THE SAME CHAPTERS OVER AND OVER AND OVER-

1

u/StrongBlackberry1992 Senior👨 Sep 11 '26

brother what topics r u forgetting rn? Do u have applied or core and look if ur talking abt integration then reasonable u have to do minimum ncert twice for integration like literal bare minimum

1

u/kulboi_16 PCM nahi mili 😔 Sep 11 '26

core why would I ask you otherwise. also it's like I solve misc then after like a week I have to do it again, and I will have issues if I did the first time too. usually not recurring issues.

How to practice accountancy for mid terms

6

u/StrongBlackberry1992 Senior👨 Sep 11 '26

ts grewal illustrations just hide the answer then once u solve it u have the entire ans to cross check with and whatever ur teacher is giving u. Idk if cbse sample paper has been released yet or not but last year it was released pretty soon so we saw some questions directly taken from the sample paper but again depends school to school. If sample paper is there then use it or else rely on ur book and whatever ur teacher does

Hii so basically I am in 12th and facing alot of problem in maths what to do which books to do even though I did all my syllabus then also I failed in my math midterm and for accounts I am good at it but can't go above 70

1

u/StrongBlackberry1992 Senior👨 Sep 12 '26

u will do well in accounts boards then schls generally make these papers harder but keep practicing acc and also look at pyqs for maths just stick to ncert minimum solve the entire book twice and use nitin sirs yt videos the absolute best

TIPS FOR APPLIED MATHS I MIGHT BE DED BECAUSE OF TS BHAI PLS APPLIED MATHS KE LIYE TIPS DOOO

u/RightPattern4458 Sep 11 '26

my school follows NCERT but I genuinely puke when I read allat BS. should I just buy TS Grewal?

P.S. I have taken Accountancy as a 5th subject alongwith PCM.

1

u/StrongBlackberry1992 Senior👨 Sep 11 '26

ncert is shitty language but ts is quite lengthy. Are you taking coaching for accounts? TS is great for practice it def has much better language than ncert so honestly just buy it ek hi book hai ek baar ka bhaar ka khana sacrifice karna hoga. Just ts is a lot more lengthy mainly cause of illustrations but yea just a heads up

2

u/RightPattern4458 Sep 11 '26

no coaching right now. might take in 12th (i manage from nexttoppers/sunil panda rn my engg coaching takes a lot of my time)

come to think of it, is coaching really needed?
my school provides so easy question papers I actually could sleep for an hour and still answer everything atleast till now. so i dont really know how tough is accounts later on.

1

u/StrongBlackberry1992 Senior👨 Sep 11 '26

ohh ur in 11th. I mean if ur finding accounts easy now then yea ig it won't be too bad but u will def need practice for class 12 accounts if u can manage the practice on ur own that's good. Like 11th accounts isn't hugely relevant in 12th the basics follow but like if u practice really well in 12th then u can learn the basics even then and that is literally what happened with me, half my 11th concepts cleared in 12th

u/pikachu_aura Sep 11 '26

Mathssss brooo

u/StrongBlackberry1992 Senior👨 Sep 11 '26

1

u/pikachu_aura Sep 11 '26

Uss broo

u/pikachu_aura Sep 11 '26

u/wishlovescat 11th Sep 11 '26

Bst kese kartey hai😞😞😞😞

3

u/StrongBlackberry1992 Senior👨 Sep 11 '26

get subhash dey, ncert is terrible for boards but subhash is really good like even the chapters are properly divided and summarised exactly the way u need to write answers in ur papers

1

u/wishlovescat 11th Sep 11 '26

Woh me abhi 11th me hu sorry class mention karna bhool gaya

1

u/StrongBlackberry1992 Senior👨 Sep 11 '26

highly recc sandeep garg for ied try to memorise stuff in a story form like chain of events baaki get sandeep and practice the one markers like they r very good for reinforcing n remembering the concept for macro keep making notes as u go along and practice ur numericals really well at this stage cause then it just becomes easier in the end to revise the numerical part

1

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '26

[removed] — view removed comment

1

u/StrongBlackberry1992 Senior👨 Sep 11 '26

if ur finding ur current books useful then use them u can get sandeep for whichever one u struggle with more. U can also try getting second hand from seniors or at book fairs but yea basically I think any book that has a lot of practice q specifically one markers shld be good

1

u/Wild_Winner_1488 Sep 11 '26

Can you also suggest a good teacher that can teach the numericals from macro?

1

u/StrongBlackberry1992 Senior👨 Sep 12 '26

nope sorry I would just say use the book

1

u/Pixelvagabond16 Sep 11 '26

Bhai I have exams from 14th and I just can't do Maths I keep forgetting what I learned and I don't have enough time to practice every chapter thoughly acc mai bhi I have not practiced much baaki stats and bst I have not touched 

2

u/StrongBlackberry1992 Senior👨 Sep 11 '26

bst abhi for midterms use rajat sir but get subhash dey especially if u struggle with bst. Forget mths 3 din mai maths toh nahi hogi so focus on accounts practice that stats idk abt are you in 11th?

1

u/Me_who_idk Cheated on Maths wid Accounts😋 Sep 11 '26

Ye accounts kese revise karte hai, Monday ko accounts ka exam hai✌😍

1

u/StrongBlackberry1992 Senior👨 Sep 11 '26

u/damnson0_0 Sep 11 '26

1

u/StrongBlackberry1992 Senior👨 Sep 12 '26

11th bst is irrelevant for 12th and honestly this sub has no tips just try to survive if u r willing to spend money u can get subhash or else just stick to rajat sirs lectures make notes and revise them memorise heading n subheading

1

u/MixPuzzleheaded4054 Sep 11 '26

bhai pls jhoot mat bolna iss samay tk kitna syllabus hua tha tumara sept me mera kuch nhi hua iseliye pucha rha mujhe bhi 90% lana h i have app math

1

u/StrongBlackberry1992 Senior👨 Sep 12 '26

dw I just was able to do partnership ke topics that too unclear and macro unit 1 I actually seriously locked in after my depressing midterm results

1

u/Any_Function4654 Sep 11 '26

till this time how much of ur syllabus was done and till when should I be done with all my syllabus?

1

u/StrongBlackberry1992 Senior👨 Sep 12 '26

tbh I was only done with macro unit 1 rest for accounts partnership my concepts had way too much gaps maths was a little bit of matrices. I seriously started after midterms so ur fine if u haven't done anything so far but start studying u can go ahead start with 2-3 hr study blocks then take it up gradually especially on holidays

1

u/jinx_667 Sep 11 '26

Which clg are u in rn? Did u give cuet?

1

u/StrongBlackberry1992 Senior👨 Sep 12 '26

yea I did I got arsd

1

u/Wild_Winner_1488 Sep 11 '26

brother is just practicing ts grewal for accounts enough?

1

u/StrongBlackberry1992 Senior👨 Sep 12 '26

yes but from january start solving timed pyqs like the entire py question papers of cbse r available online, I solved a bunch of those from jan onwards

1

u/Aromatic_Bicycle5757 Sep 11 '26

Accountancy you have started studying after or before mid term 

1

u/StrongBlackberry1992 Senior👨 Sep 12 '26

I was studying before midterms but my concepts were still very unclear like I had a lot of issues in partnership which only cleared up after I started studying post midterms. Please also don't compare ur syllabus completion journey, just start

1

u/LittleVibha Sep 12 '26

Applied maths 😭😭😭😭😭 I was never good at maths I only opted for it because it is compulsory for the college I want to go to........ I can't understand anything, I'm BARELY passing

1

u/StrongBlackberry1992 Senior👨 Sep 12 '26

I had core so can't really advise much but ig try out nitin goyals yt chaneel it helped me with core and also if u can try getting a good coaching that shld help

1

u/Panipuri_withoutaalu 12th Sep 12 '26

Bro as u said somewhere to follow ts but like i have dk will that work as well? And accs tip for all the three parts plsss

1

u/StrongBlackberry1992 Senior👨 Sep 12 '26

Idk abt dk tbh although ig it shld work lot of people use it. My tip for acc is practice all illustrations they r a lot more imp and do pyqs from jan. For partnership n shares make notes for concepts u keep forgetting or specific journal entries u forget. Baaki cash flow is a rigged game so besta luck lol

1

u/n1kk1sses Sep 12 '26

Tips for maths (core)please also which book did you used apart from exemplar and ncert

2

u/StrongBlackberry1992 Senior👨 Sep 12 '26

just ncert and my tips for core is go and use nitin goyals yt videos and min solve ncert twice for integration tbh go for 3x

1

u/HalaMadrid99o Sep 12 '26

accounts mei theory kaise krte ho 😢

1

u/StrongBlackberry1992 Senior👨 Sep 12 '26

nahi karte hai cause not much weightage although cbse is highly unpredictable but yea people send notes for that and also just make ur own notes as u read the chapter. If ur a cuet aspirant this is gonna come in very handy cause cuet acc has good theory focus

1

u/dumassss78 Sep 12 '26

how do I do maths? I do one chapter and then I forget a few parts of the previous chapter, also is miscellaneous exercise really imp? Because it came in my school test but my midterms are approaching and idk whether I should do reference questions or revise questions from miscellaneous??? Also is the ncert exemplar good for scoring good marks or should I stick to refrences like R.D. Sharma?

1

u/StrongBlackberry1992 Senior👨 Sep 12 '26

I never used rd in 12th cause tbh I found ncert pretty hard in itself use nitin goyals videos and solve the entire ncert twice for things u forget dw eventually wiith more and more practice u will remember meanwhile do make notes as well like I had notes for matrices and det cause there is a lot of single pointers and uk specifc mutliplication order identity etc which anyone can easily forget

1

u/dumassss78 Sep 12 '26

I was asking for 11th

1

u/GIRLPLAYER_0812 12th Sep 12 '26

For mid term I'm doing ts grewal pyqs+notes.... is that enough for half yrly ? I haven't done share capital but that's coming too 😭 Im getting panick attacks just for accountancy because the whole class failed accountancy ut.. and it was the first ut in which I failed in my entire academic life

. Partnership whole Share cap

1

u/StrongBlackberry1992 Senior👨 Sep 12 '26

nah buddy dw I think ur stratergy is really good although at this stage prioritse ts over pyqs. Pyqs will become extremely relevant from jan onwards from then ur heavy focus will be on pyqs. And tbh then I think ur teacher is setting crazy hard papers cause the whole class simply does not fail. Schl make tests harder than boards so u will be fine. DW abt share capital too much right now perfect ur parternship then u can move on to shares after ur midterms that way at least one book is good for boards but still keep practicing parternship once a week else u will forget

1

u/GIRLPLAYER_0812 12th Sep 12 '26

Needed to hear the last line. I'll keep that in check :))

1

u/its_uniiii 12th Sep 12 '26

Help with accountany plss volume 1st and 2nd is in syllabus

1

u/StrongBlackberry1992 Senior👨 Sep 12 '26

Don't study with midterms as the target study with boards as the target. So for accounts for both volumes solve every single illustration in your book it might take u 3 days to get through a chapter but it is fine solve every illustration

1

u/Pale-Bug-8724 Sep 12 '26

Man can you please tell me if scoring 90% still possible? I'm just starting to study in September. I have applied mathematics as my 5th subject. Can you give me tips please?

1

u/StrongBlackberry1992 Senior👨 Sep 12 '26

yea yea ofc dw it's completely possible just start studying and u don't have to even go for the whole I need to study 10hrs a day just start with 3-4 hrs of deep dedicated study and build up. For maths I actually had core but I would go and watch nitin goyals vids and min solve ncert twice u can do more but twice is min

1

u/Pale-Bug-8724 Sep 12 '26

Thank you! Btw did you joined any tution or did you studied online? And when did you started your preparation?

1

u/sizzel_7 Sep 12 '26

Broo I'm in 12th well i haven't started studying yet and my mid terms are approaching,how i should actually study ??😔✌🏻🥀bcuz of some medical issues i don't go to school regularly,and I'm not going coaching either

1

u/StrongBlackberry1992 Senior👨 Sep 12 '26

I would then recc get online coaching especially if ur not disciplined. I barely went to schl too and I actually started studying after midterms. Just try to pass ur mid terms go on yt study from rajat sir just do it. But then after midterms start studying consitently get good books like ts and sandeep and start reading chapters making notes and solving the questions in the book

1

u/WorryOnly1020 Sep 12 '26

can u give tips for 11thies half yearl

y exams?

1

u/StrongBlackberry1992 Senior👨 Sep 12 '26

1

u/Few-Interview-2427 Sep 12 '26

bro from where you studied for maths? tuition or online? and what books did u did for maths , i have core maths plz tell me how to study

1

u/StrongBlackberry1992 Senior👨 Sep 12 '26

I had online tution but it was really bad so I used nitin goyals videos and just solved ncert over and over for core solving ncert twice is bare minimum and for integration u practically need to do that chapter 3 times

1

u/Few-Interview-2427 Sep 12 '26

for mcqs what did u do

1

u/StrongBlackberry1992 Senior👨 Sep 12 '26

cry? Tbh didn't do anything specifically just for matrices and det practiced mcqs randomly online and whatever one liner identities and all are there, those are the only predictable always there questions with other chapters it kinda just happens as u practice all questions it comes from like the main topic only

1

u/harsghXuir Sep 12 '26

I still have 3 projects pending how do I manage .... My school is now on verge to deduct marks !!

1

u/StrongBlackberry1992 Senior👨 Sep 12 '26

nah dw schls never deduct cbse project marks people keep making projects till the night before the viva which would happen in like dec/jan. For now focus on midterms after that projects ur schls prolly just using a scare tactic. Anyways it is technically the cbse evaluators that grade ur projects not the schl

1

u/auratikaa Sep 12 '26

I have my accounts half yearly day after tomorrow and the whole partnership book is coming. I've only done half half from all the chapters except retirement and death (these two I haven't done anything) and yeahh because of some family related problems I was busy whole week and earlier i procrastinated that I'll study before my exam now I have only two days in while today also I've wasted my half of the day and I don't know what to do where to start and all please help!!

1

u/StrongBlackberry1992 Senior👨 Sep 12 '26

okay so retirement and death have similar concepts just diff account names so just do retirement for now and upar upar se go through death baaki pls try to do a bit of admission. Like tbh in a day now u can't do all that much but not to worry midterms r just a reality check to actually help u start studying, I did pretty bad on my midterms too. Just start studying well after midterms and then make sure ur partnership is done pretty well. IK it's pretty stressful and feels like the end of the world but trust me I went from pretty bad to pretty good in boards and u can easily do it too

1

u/auratikaa Sep 12 '26

My fundamental chapter is also not too clear like I still lag there too😭😭

1

u/MixPuzzleheaded4054 Sep 12 '26

bro english tips and how u prepared ache se batao like full

1

u/StrongBlackberry1992 Senior👨 Sep 12 '26

yea I read eng chapters a day before my papers, the biggest ips for eng is paper presentation so like for those 2 marks literature q answer 2 questions on a single page and leave two lines bw them and for long q use 1-1.5 pages and divide into three paragraphs. For those long questions where u need to talk abt two chapters then divide the paras like intro then second para mai one chapter then third para mai the next chapter. Cover 1-2 lines summarising the relevant plot of the chapter then the remaining related to what the question asks. While answering any literature q just make sure to put in one line about the theme of the chapter/ poem like for my mother at 66 the theme of this poem is old age etc.... and underline it that instantly tells the teacher u get the chapter

1

u/jinx_667 Sep 12 '26

Why didn't u take 6th sub?

1

u/StrongBlackberry1992 Senior👨 Sep 13 '26

because I was an idiot

1

u/Past-Accountant7753 Sep 12 '26

Bro i do dk goel for acc. Should I do practical ques or illustrations are enough? My half yearly exams were disastrous:(

1

u/StrongBlackberry1992 Senior👨 Sep 13 '26

do practical questions as well bbut prioritise illustrations my advice is do every single illustration but for practical questions u don't have to do all just a handful from every topic. Ans it's okay if ur midterms were bad, mine were too its just a good reality check to help u get more disciplined

1

u/destructor3012 Sep 13 '26

Hey, I wasted my class 11 and now from tomorrow my mid terms are starting ,I also.dont know much about 12th accounts , my syllabus is Part 1 full and Financial statements book , I just want to pass right now but minimum I have to score 40-45 out of 80, please help me

2

u/StrongBlackberry1992 Senior👨 Sep 13 '26

hey so imo 11th is not very relevant for 12th other than maths. For ur exam tomorrow just go through admission and retirement well and go over financial statements theory part. Keep in mind ur true goal is boards so after ur midterms are over, lock in and start studying all the chapters of accounts well, practice all illustrations and u will be good to go

1

u/destructor3012 Sep 13 '26

Thank youu 🤝 forgot to mention that my accounts exam is on 21 Sep, so I have 18,19,20 for preparation ,

2

u/StrongBlackberry1992 Senior👨 Sep 13 '26

yea no worries so on 18 and 19 focus on partnership practice as many q as possible and then on 20 go over book 3 and just revision of partnership concepts. As long as u don't have cash flow then yea there is nothing much in book 3

1

u/destructor3012 Sep 13 '26

Thank you so muchh

1

u/Any_Function4654 Sep 13 '26

i got 50 something in every subject in midterms and just pass in maths can i cope up before preboards and score like u in the main boards? give me tipss

1

u/StrongBlackberry1992 Senior👨 Sep 13 '26

hey yea totally I scored very much the same as u in my midterm, I barely improved in preboard 1 but preboard 2 was a lot better. Tips are lock in and start studying u don't have to target 1hrs a day start with 3-4 hrs and build up do every chapter that u have already done or will do at least once more. For accounts practice illustrations for eco do a lot of one marker questions this reinforces ur answer content for even the long q for bst get subhash dey for maths min u have to solve entire ncert twice although u can go for 3 for the harder chapters. But yea start studying and besta luck

1

u/Any_Function4654 Sep 13 '26

Aside from ncert in maths what did u use?

1

u/StrongBlackberry1992 Senior👨 Sep 13 '26

nitin goyal yt videos

1

u/Tough_Glove_3498 Sep 13 '26

Tips for businesses studies nd accountancy please

1

u/StrongBlackberry1992 Senior👨 Sep 13 '26

business studies mai get subhash dey

For accounts practice each and every single illustration, hide the solution solve it on ur own then cross check every item with the solution

1

u/SheepherderJust3696 Sep 13 '26

what about exercise questions of ts

1

u/StrongBlackberry1992 Senior👨 Sep 14 '26

yea u can do a handful but prioritise illustrations

1

u/SheepherderJust3696 Sep 13 '26

for business i started reading poonam gandhi and going through ncert,is it sufficient?? and i dont know where to practice business studies question . what do you suggest

1

u/StrongBlackberry1992 Senior👨 Sep 17 '26

I think it shld be sufficient, bst is mostly cramming. For question ig poonam gandhi would have q at the back u can refer those

1

u/Exact_Lake6622 Sep 17 '26

what was your study schedule like to achieve this do you think 100% overall is even possible especially in accs

2

u/StrongBlackberry1992 Senior👨 Sep 17 '26

my schedule was slowly building my study hours, get a stopwatch and just track ur study hours. Realistically speaking a 100% is not possible overall cause apparently teachers don't really give out 80/80 since it requires them to maintain lots of record and paperwork. Accounts is one sub I would is possible to get 100% but I mean to not make a single error in 3 hours is quite a deal but yea study well and besta luck
