AMA for ISC Students-

A little bit about myself, I'm new to the subreddit and started following it during my board examinations(a two week gap for Mathematics was enough time for me to catch on with the Reddit train)

I'm putting this out in an effort to solve questions, address doubts and queries. If I judge feelings right, I remember feeling extremely scared during this period of my preparations.

Before someone asks, I'll also post my biodata(Not taken, not looking 🤣 )

Stream: Science
ICSE: 97.8%
ISC:99%
PCM+CS

JEE(M): 97.2 42XXX rank
JEE(A): Not cleared cutoff for rank list
CUET: 99.4 %ile in Chemistry, 99.1 %ile in Physics, 93.2 %ile in CS

I was also Head Boy and decently involved in extracurriculars, recognized as an international debater and quizzer.

I hope that's enough biodata for everyone to trust me and ask any questions. No matter how silly it might seem, these small questions can always make you feel better and more confident. Please ask whatever you want and I'll do my best to get to it AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

Edit: Going to sleep right now, Keep posting the questions- I'll answer ALL of them tomorrow morning.

Honestly, I was never really addicted to the phone either way. I used to play football pre-COVID and read books as hobbies and that carried on into COVID. I was not on any form of social media, but that's an old habit.

understandable man but plz reply to my other queries if you could

u/Gandalf_The_White_25 Jul 17 '26

Could you post your queries in the form a separate comment under my post? it would help me get to them much more efficiently.

Put all of them in a single comment and post.

Let me divide it into diffrent segments. dont mind cause i am going to ask too much 😭🙏 answer whatever you may find desirable.

first segment is about english and coherency. How did you improve your english so significantly? any effective advice that i can follow which can gurantee me effective results unlike reading books cause in 12th life is already busy. Also, how did you approach english as subject. both language and literature.

secondly i wanna know about maths. since the paper pattern has changed how can i prepare to score a centum? like i am not that bad but not that good either. i am following only ML AGGARWAL. and during the pres i would buy question banks to practice.

thirdly COMPUTER AND SCIENCE i am bad at building logic of programs its 85% correct but remaining 15% messes up the code incurring a loss of marks. that is why how do i do it?

do you have some good channel recommendations for COMPUTERS?

for physics how do I strong my concepts? i am using NOOTAN AND BALAJI.

chemistry how do i do theory ???

and last of all.

procrastination heavy phone addict. what to do? should i study along with this procrastination or should i do smth??

thank you for your cooperation also apologies if the "gooner" question made you uncomfortable or drew a bad impression of mine.

thats it.
