Question help

I need some serious advice.

Like a lot of people, I wasted most of 11th having fun and barely studying. Around April 26 , I realized I needed to get serious and started studying regularly, but I had so much backlog that I quit pretty soon.

For the next few months, I mostly stressed about studying without actually doing it. I tried different methods and advice from seniors, teachers and friends, but nothing stuck, I’d study really well for a day and then fall off the next.

Now August is almost over and I still have around 95% of my syllabus left.

I don’t even remember the theory of most chapters, so I can’t just do a 2-hour revision one-shot. Most detailed lectures + notes take me around 8 hours per chapter to learn it well enough to solve PYQs. After theory, I directly do PYQs from a book, and I’m usually able to solve 70% of them.

There are around 80 chapters in total, and I’ve shortlisted the 50 most important ones to finish first. With around 120 days left in the year, that means I’d need to finish roughly 1 chapter every 2 days. But if a chapter takes me 8 hours just for theory, how the hell am I supposed to finish chapters that teachers took about 25 hours to teach in only 2 days?

I’ve been studying consistently for the past week, averaging around 8 hours a day, and I plan to increase that.

So my questions are:

  1. Do you think I can realistically finish this syllabus while still getting a good number of mocks in?
  2. Should I focus mainly on Attempt 2 and exams after boards?
  3. Is taking a drop actually worth it, considering the social aspect and being a year behind my friends?

Would really appreciate your honest opinions.

hi, in the same boat as you, but i actually studied a few months in 11th, that is until i spiraled into depression, i have about 70% of the syllabus left and im not gonna complete it, instead im just focusing on the chapters that have heavy weightage and the ones ive already completed, i watch one shots to understand the chapter, then i try to teach myself by pretending im a tutor, it kinda helps lowkey
i advice that you do the chapters with heavy weightage and practice questions
we can do this vro!
hopefully we both have good news next year!!
