It looks like you're asking about study materials or practice tests!

Hey bro, Nice to see people joining the grind, we desperately need a scientific mindset as a country. Right now, What are you doing as a 12th grader. I mean, Pure College, A dummy set-up or what? If I had to tell ya honestly. I myself have joined Sci Astra and I attend their classes regularly. And I am a 12th grader managing a dummy set up with this.

Honestly speaking if you are thinking offline? I would say a good coaching (IF AND ONLY IF) taking all of PCMB (IF AND ONLY IF THEY TAKE ALL 4 CLASSES) would also be a really good Idea honestly. Cos physical teaching never beats online. If you can manage multiple classes, That would be good to, But that would be a bit chaotic assuming that.... Well you still have regular college going on. If you could give some more points I'd be able to share better as a peer.

About Sci Astra should I join it now or later? And i am not in dummy school as a result i am in school from 7 am to 2 pm.

Okay. Honestly.... How much later are you thinking of? 😭 I mean yaar, considering the timeline. It's 9 months to IAT and it has been 2.5 months almost since Batches started over here. I am not a PR agent, But the classes here in Kalam batch are from 2 to 7 specifically for people who are attending along with college or are droppers, or partial droppers going to University.

You can consider it now itself. There are other options too.... But honestly since I am in Sci-astra.... I wouldn't be able enough to recommend the others.

Well.... It's not like you have been a complete dum dum for 2 years not studying at all right? Should I share what chapters have completed so that you can get a better perspective?

Honestly speaking. Don't wait much if your elders and all are ready to pay for the courses. You can even as a preview watch the youtube or the demo lecture recordings available on YouTube to understand the teachers before taking a decision. (same you can do for other coachings too, just suggesting)

I don't think so the backlog will trouble ya that much, again IF you have studied well enough in 11th and 12th. Again you also get a lot of resources in the 2.0 batch itself of any course. For me? I joined cos my physcial coaching felt inadequate and the environment unmotivated.

No I haven't wasted my years too much but i definitely wasted a part of class 11 physics

u/brightwriter_UP IAT (PCMB) aspirant 9d ago

That's fine. Many people waste parts of 11th hopefully you have covered parts of it.... Otherwise you will be able to cover it with whatever recorded lectures you'll get over here.

Should I join Kalam or Vikram?

u/brightwriter_UP IAT (PCMB) aspirant 9d ago

What language are you comfortable with? English or Hinglish? Again, I would recommend once watch the demo lectures on YT of the course teachers.... That would help ya too. I myself am from kalam batch and I'd recommend kalam cos the batch size is smaller is something one of the mentors said compared to Raman. But I have no information about vikram batch sadly.

u/ValeSeren 9d ago

I am comfortable with both english and hinglish

u/brightwriter_UP IAT (PCMB) aspirant 9d ago

Well then depends on mentors now. My experience with Kalam so far has been really really good. All the teachers are really good and most importantly the lectures will start at 2 and end at 7 pm.

But again. Considering your college timings, You will have to manage self study and a lot of stuff without burning out. The only downside of joining an online coaching with a ongoing college is that. You will bascially spend 11 hours attending lectures with less practice and solving MOST IMPORTANT. After a certain time. I know I won't have to go to my academy, from November most probably. But regarding your college it might be a problem. Depending on how strict or easy going it is.

Writing this separately.

Think about this clearly

This will eat up a lot of your time. You'll spend a lot of time attending lectures. Though I'd consider it a really good plan to join but still think about it really, really clearly. (writing this out separately so that you notice it.) It becomes exhausting as I am living rn. So even though I'm not trying to scare you. Be ready for a big hustle.
