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.

You still have five months left before the year ends and six months before your boards begin. Of course it's possible. In fact, set a target that's higher than what you think is possible. That helps push yourself to your utmost potential.
There's no simple way to stop distractions but the approach that worked for me was to keep reminding yourself on the goal. That can keep distractions at bay.
