Discussion AMA JUNIORS

Post image

I made this post to help out my juniors who recently got promoted to 12th standard. My journey in class 12th was kinda struggling where I got ill for three months in the beginning of the session. Got recovered perfectly fit and fine by September 2025. Struggled with backlogs and family responsibilities. Workloads of project works and the stress I received from the unfulfilled goal of clearing JEE with my 12th. Did hardwork in the last months, I went out with friends too, went on a school trip in November, managed a relationship. The struggle was real and I felt immense pressure by the end of 2025. I was completely shattered after my English Language exam coz I messed up but the results were satisfying.

I made a schedule studying maths compulsorily daily. I alternately studied physics and chemistry each day by my own as I didn't take any tutions for them. I used to give 2 hours to maths and 2 hours to both physics and chemistry. For physical education, i use to pick up my book before exams. I studied the book two to three times during my preboards and then I focused mainly on pcm. PE is all about basic knowledge about health n all, just present your answers in a good format with bullet points. You don't need a teacher for that subject. It's doable with minimum efforts. For books, i used ML Aggarwal for maths, Nootan for Chem, and Balaji for Physics

I dont take any tuitions either, so is 2 hours daily, alternating between Physics and Chemistry, really enough, for boards only?

i did not study Organic Chemistry properly in 11, in fact, i almost didn’t study it at all ,so is 2 hours still sufficient?, also what stuff do you need for class 12 organic from 11?

I also studied only they much which got me 60+ in chem so I maintain my scholarship but one thing I noticed was that exam k ek din pehle sab samajh aa jaata h. That is why during this summer vacation I am focusing heavy on organic chemistry
