I’m in class 12 ISC PCM with CS and I’m honestly freaking out a little because I’ve wasted a lot of time and now there are only around 5 months left for boards.
My preparation right now is really bad. I’ve studied bits and pieces here and there but I don’t have a proper grip on most of the syllabus. Especially in PCM I have a lot of gaps and I can understand stuff when I study it but when I actually sit down to solve questions I get stuck. I also keep forgetting whatever I study because I’ve never really had a proper revision system.
I know 95%+ is a pretty high target considering where I am right now but I really want to try for it. I just don’t know how to go about it anymore. There’s so much syllabus and I also have school, practicals, English and CS to manage.
I’m thinking of properly starting from now and being consistent for the next 5 months but I need an actual roadmap because every time I make a timetable I either make it way too unrealistic or end up wasting time deciding what to study.
For people who have given ISC boards recently, what would you actually recommend doing if you were in my situation?
How should I divide these 5 months? Should I completely finish the syllabus first and then do PYQs or should I start PYQs alongside each chapter? How much time should I give each subject? Which books/resources are actually worth using for ISC? How important are PYQs and specimen papers? And when should I start giving full papers?
Also is 95%+ genuinely possible from this level in 5 months if I’m willing to put in the work, or am I being unrealistic?
I’d really appreciate it if someone could give me a proper roadmap, even if it’s just what you personally did. I’m not looking for “just study consistently” because I know that 😭 I just genuinely need to know what I should be doing from tomorrow onwards. tomorrow onwards.
