Heylo!!

Just another Indian on this site lmao, I chose commerce and currently completing my undergrad so while all of the actual study material is beyond comprehension for me, I just wanted to drop in to say that you're doing such a good job with this. Getting a 720 in mocks is an insane achievement and I hope you can pat yourself on the back for that💕💕💕

Good going bestie!! You're killing it🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Thank you so much for taking the time to tell me that. Thank you, truly. It made me feel so appreciated and acknowledged💛🥺

🥺🥺

Ooo I've never had a commerce student friend!

How's life? Hope you're doing well, and studying well✨

hii sorry to barging in like this and i know we've never really interacted before but i'd reblogged that post on the group blog and you sent the ask to wish us well?? so i thought i should reply to that but then it's a group blog so i didn't know what to say so sending this ask because of that thankie for your wishes and way more thanks for your notes and helpful tips you're saving us in so many ways love you <333

🥺always here to help in any way I can

Ah ROCK ITTT

90 days of productivity

Day 40/90

With @academiawho and @docta1228

7th November 2023, Tuesday

Boring Tuesday.

Woke up early and did some math.

Collected my physics quiz 2 answer sheet in which *cough cough* I scored a whole ass 24 out of 30. Proud of myself.

Did some more math in the library.

Then didn't do anything, basically.

I have the books "Mrs Dalloway" (by Virginia Woolf) and "The Bell Jar" (by Sylvia Plath) from the library but I'm thinking of returning them tomorrow because reading novels right now might not be a good idea because my finals are in a month. :/

Both were interesting though (read the first couple pages).

Didn't do my laundry :/ have a huge load now for tomorrow and the day after.

Hey fellow neet24 aspirant!! I hope you are doing well considering the fact that the exam is just a month away. I'm kinda struggling and I'd be so honoured if you can guide me love.

I have finished my syllabus however I'm struggling to revise it and actually be able to solve questions hence I score low in mocks (which is indirectly proportional to my anxiety lmao). So how do I overcome it? I avoid solving mocks cuz of this but ik I should. I'm hella scared lol.

Wishing you all the best and I admire your hard work sm 💗

Hi fellow NEET aspirant! Your words of kindness mean a lot to me💛

It might be too late in the year to do this, but I suggest a few open book tests. Keep the textbooks/materials with you (no internet, no phone) and write the mock test. If you're able to identify which question asks for which topic in the subject material, then you're halfway there.

Revising syllabus must be done with short notes at this point in time.

Unfortunately, we cannot skip mocks at this time in our preparation so I urge you to solve it. I know it seems difficult and nerve-wracking, but I have a process that worked for me last year when I was anxious about mocks.

Take a past year NEET paper (except 2019 Delhi, 2016 phase 2, those are infamously conceptual) and sit down and write it in the mornings, or a time when there's no disturbance around you. See how accurately you're able to solve the questions and then after you've written a few like that, check how quickly you're writing the tests. This helped boost my confidence.

Take the guidance of your mentors or coaching teachers and be frank and truthful with them. Tell them your problems, don't dwell on the past and ask them how you can make better of this situation we have here. They can help.

Hope this helps. All the very best!!💛

hey, I'm a class 11 student. not sure if you're giving NEET this year or have given it in the past... but I'm in dire need of some advice either way.

long story short: i suck at physics and i had february and march before my 12th starts. feb went away in school exams and i didn't prepare well (dummy schl student). I really want to do a detailed revision for all chapters of physics at least (module questions ), but I'm not sure how to manage time.

My basics are clear but the major problem is that I've forgotten stuff from when I first revised. Tips please?

Hi! I'm a dropper, preparing for NEET again.

I think the most efficient way to solve your dilemma is to divide the portion you have to cover (be it past 11th syllabus for neet revision or ongoing 12th syllabus after starting 12th). Spread the chapters or even topics if you have that time, over days.

This way, for example: you're doing Electric Charges in class 12th, but at home, you're also covering a topic or two in addition to Electric Charges, like torque topic in Rotational motion. This way you're revising old topics while also staying in touch with the current topics.

And make good notes. Aesthetics are not important if you're going to spend a lot of time making them pretty. Notes are there to help in efficient revision. It's better if they're not shabby but no need to go calligraph on them, write them with enough imp info but concisely enough that you can flip through them.

And do not keep backlogs if you can help it.

Physics NCERT is more important than we give it credit for. You have time now so read through it and imagine the kind of questions that can be made from it.

Study GOC again. I know you said your basics are clear, but until one gets 100% at least 5 times consecutively in a GOC-based mock, one is not clear with the basics.

Pick one hour in a day, either in the morning first thing before your classes, or after coaching. And in that one hour, take a crack at one section of one chapter. Like, section A of your module has for eg 45 questions — start it at least. Put a timer, check how many Qs you did in that one hour and how many are correct. If you have any doubts, you clarify the doubts with your teachers in the class that day or the next day. This way, if you want to do more Qs, you'll be on a roll. But even if you're not, you still got stuff done. This time is a must. Enforce it.

Hope this helped, all the very best💛

i'm the same anon from my last text but I forgot to mention another thing that's bugging me - is 11th revision really possible alongside 12th?I know it is easier said than done, but since I'll only be doing physics,my chemistry will be left behind. I'm way more confident in chem but i obviously still need practice. And say - if I'm not able to complete this now, then when? Does one get enough time in September/October later in the year?

I can't imagine the amplified pressure of boards and coaching and 11th revision and 12th. Although I am planning on frequent revision, so can you suggest some tips to actually implement this?

I mentioned some pointers on this in the last ask you sent. But in addition to that, I wanted to tackle the boards and pressure points in this answer.

One thing about NEET preparation: there will never be enough time.

So never think you can get possibly enough time in August, September or October to start studying for NEET. It's a big, fate-deciding exam that doesn't have a second attempt or session like JEE Mains.

Start small, start now.

It's better than starting later and taking bigger bites than one can chew. That's the number one tip that your situation looks for.

Practice a lot, and with proper mock test settings. Ask your institute teachers if you can sit for tests that are meant for 11th graders (you said you're moving up to 12th this year, hence...). It's ok if you're not getting awesome marks now. Half the exam is won in familiarity and ease. The anxiety stems from not having practiced enough (which you shall do) and being in a setting not familiar. Switch exam rooms once in a while, try not looking at a digital clock. Stuff like that can help with mock tests too.

There will always be pressure, and we will look for a way for it to not affect us that much. Make a schedule for a week or two weeks max. Or match it to your test schedule. Arrange doubt sessions with your teachers, plus ask them if they have a preferable revision schedule for you to adhere.

💛

heyy, first of all i wanna say that i love your blog. im preparing for neet 2024. please give me some tips on how to improve physics and chemistry. like how do you study, online, by making short notes, which study module?? like whats your timetable usually or brfore a test. thank you soo muchhh!!!!

Thank you so much!

Physics is all about concept clarity and how easily you can manipulate formulae. It takes practice so that's the easiest and most foolproof method I could recommend.

Chemistry... I myself am finding it an winding road slowly edging upwards. Organic, Physical and Inorganic Chemistry is all in-and-out NCERT. Line by line. I am not exaggerating in the slightest. Do the sums behind, the intext questions, the open-ended questions that NCERT asks, exemplar, lab manual. Literally all of it. Try mixing and matching with the PYQs to get an idea of the hot-zones and the areas that they could try making a question from this year.

I used to study from youtube and took digital coaching in my first year. Don't know how much that helped. But it did increase my screen time.

I made short notes after I was done with a particular chapter, so that I knew where the questions were made from and how they could be formed. Some years are v imp while others might not seem, some may be derived etc. They're not aesthetic or neat but I think that's ok.

Before a test, I go through the chapters, usually sticking to NCERT and my notes because it's familiar territory. My timetable is pretty flexible but that's because of my adhd, I don't think I can be productive with a self-imposed rigid schedule. Everyone works differently and the process to cracking a way that works for you is trial and error.

Wishing you all the best for your attempt! Keep studying and practicing💛

hiii❤️

im kinda anxious because my mock test scores are stuck in 550s-580s. what do u suggest i stick to in these last 15 days so that i can get in the 600 range? im mostly just revising ncert again and again right now.

(off topic but i love your blog and you motivate me so much! i always look forward to your posts🥰 mwah)

Hey boo! I'm so sorry it took me so long to get this ask out, I was practically either in my car, in my bed or at my table these past few days.

I'm sure your mentors/coaching teachers have given you some advice, and here's some tips I can think of:

Pick a past year paper every morning, solve it. If you feel like the paper would decide the mood for your day and might spoil said mood, pick another opportune time. One paper per day -> doubts solving -> mistake book -> revision

NCERT revision. If you feel like it's difficult, keeping in mind that NCERT is written to be studied, not quizzed upon, try mindmaps based on NCERT or summaries at the back of the chapter.

Time yourself when you're writing tests. And I don't mean completing a test in the given 3:20. I mean, how much time are you taking per subject. Try reducing it to the 45-50-50 timeline. 45 mins for bio, 50 for phy, 50 for chem. Phy and chem can be adjusted anyhow in the remaining time but make sure you're acing bio as far as you can and as fast as you can.

Didn't get the logic/formula of a question? Don't dwell on it, move onto the next ones. You can come back to them later.

If you make OMR mistakes in a hurry, or because you do it in the last 30 mins left -> take 45 mins for OMR if need be, but don't make bubbling errors. What you bubble in the end matters just as much or maybe even more than what you solve on the Q paper.

Error Analysis is must after every test. Whether it be a past paper or a mock test. Spend 1-2 hours on that depending on whether your mistakes are silly or conceptual.

Thank you so much for your love and patience, I'm so happy my blog motivates you. Have a nice few days so that we can give our best in NEET!💛

im also giving my 12th boards this year, and i see posts on my dash all the time. please share advise on how to remember what i studied for physics and chem please

btw, all the best <3

Hello! While I graduated 12th grade a while ago, I'm happy to see you in my ask box.

Here goes the tips I used and some I tried to imbibe for smooth sailing in boards:

1. Focus on previous papers: I'm of the belief that if you do something enough times, you are bound to remember it in time of need. I revised a lot of my senior's papers (I ignored the questions/topics from the deleted syllabus to save time) and my prelim papers, all sets. It ended up helping me because the examiners lose shock value if we prepare all the questions their mind has been wanting to print.

2. NCERT: Have someone explain it to you if you are not able to decipher it. NCERT is not as comfortable to read and retain as ICSE books like Selina, Viraf Dalal etc. So it is imperative that you understand the meaning or motive behind NCERT's topics. Teachers should be of good help in this matter.

3. Supplementary sources: Youtube is fine to understand concepts, but I've seen a lot of my peers (and at a point, myself) make it their personality and their only study source. Please try not to if you have a healthier alternative available (like tuitions, extra classes, coaching). Do not run behind extra books like HCV, DC, ABC, Elementary for your boards. It doesn't really help for subjective examinations.

4. Formula sheets: Especially for Optics, Physical Chemistry and Genetics (rarely). Make them, whether as a rough copy, or a rote learning session, or a paper with tricks. But revision of that sheet is a must.

5. Parkinson's Law: "Parkinson's Law is the old adage that work expands to fill the time allotted for its completion." Basically, a task will take up as much as time as you plan it in. Revising Modern Physics will take near 30 minutes if you think it will take 30 minutes. But if you think it will take a full day, then it shall. So plan wisely and have confidence in yourself to make that work.

6. And lastly but by no means the least: Practice writing the paper. It may seem silly to think that sitting down with a sheet similar to the actual answer booklet, attempting a paper with the seriousness of the actual exam, may be tedious. However, it is more useful than it is tedious. It resolves any anxiety regarding appearing in the exam.

If you need to talk about this or anything else, feel free to ask me in my ask box or via pm or in my posts. All the best!

Hii!

I'm also a fellow neet 2024 student, just wanted to know how do you revise a chapter when it's done? For phy chem or bio

( it's okay if you can't answer if ur on a time crunch though)

Btw your blog is really motivating! Have a nice day ✨

Hey!

I try my best to answer as soon as I can, nice to receive your ask!

I revise chemistry from pyqs marked in my textbook linewise and go through my short notes/class notes.

For physics I refer my short notes book as it's a pretty good go-through for the chapter.

I revise biology by the textbook, or using short notes. I mostly revise the textbook because of marked pyqs.

I'm happy that this blog coincides with the good thoughts for you! All the very best for your preparation, my ask box and messages are always open for more academic talks💛

Hi! Hope yu doing well.

You keep mentioning about a mistake notebook, what do you write in it? Mistakes from tests? Is it too late for me to make one know? I'm prepping for neet24. Thanksss!!!

Hi, it's never too late to make it.

A mistake book is like a notebook where you write any questions that you get wrong or barely got correct (like, I guessed and it turned out correct but next time I shouldn't guess - kinda questions).

It can include worksheet questions, questions from papers, tests, polls or classwork/homework.

You write the question and write its correct answer. No need to write what you did wrong, just the final answer you should have gotten.

It helps as writing is an important method to remember information.

Go through the mistake book whenever you have time, and mark the ones that you're often making mistakes in so that it catches your eye when revising it.

Hope this helps💛

I wanted to ask one more thing. What was your routine back in 11th and what is your routine currently? I'm know I'm not gonna have the same routine as you but maybe i could get some help with it and take some motivation from that schedule? I also like need guidance with chemistry and physics, wht kind of techniques you use for scoring well in those subjects? I have been facing some issues with equilibrium chapter (I'm not able to solve those ionisation constant sums and sums related to finding K.equilibrium)

In physics, i have screwed up big time in motion in a plane. Like I understood the formulas and how they were derived but I can only solve sums that are directly asking to find max.height or time of flight or max.range etc etc. If the sums are twisted, I get confused and evrything becomes a mess. I told my physics professor about my poor score in motion in plane, he asked me to focus on the next chapters that will be asked in next test (laws of motion and work, power and energy).

Also, a big thanks for answering my previous asks! I got the guidance I needed! you're amazing thank you so much <3

Hi! Since it's a lot to unpack, I'll go in points (feel free to remind me if I missed anything):

What was your routine back in 11th -> -> -> I was in 11th grade during Covid, so my routine was basically getting up, trying not to die, helping my family members to not die, attend online classes, complete homework, blink through online tests and sleep. I'm sorry I don't have a better answer to the first part of the question, I wasn't the most ideal person one could base one's routine off.

and what is your routine currently? -> -> -> I wake up, study any topic for an hour or half and hour if I'm in a hurry for coaching, and I head over. I reach there early and study in prep for the day. After reaching home from coaching, I either write a test or prepare for a test. I sleep. A positive indoctrination by my father since my childhood is that sleep is imperative for optimal functioning. And I'm given free rein to shift things around in my day so that I can study when I'm feeling my best self.

I also like need guidance with chemistry and physics, what kind of techniques you use for scoring well in those subjects? -> -> -> lots of practice and lots of mistakes that I've learnt from. I have tried to orient my mental activity to look at a question and see the competitive perspective of it. In chemistry, it usually helps in organic to know what the examiner wants you to apply, which concept or reaction etc. A good teacher also helps, whether it be for shortcuts or for understanding the concepts to the point that you don't need shortcuts. A lot of practice is my suggestion.

I have been facing some issues with equilibrium chapter (I'm not able to solve those ionization constant sums and sums related to finding K equilibrium) -> -> -> I think everybody and their grandmother have an issue with equilibrium. I find equilibrium to be a concept-based chapter unlike a lot who think of it as a formulae-dependent chapter. For equilibrium, one needs solid lectures (quality, not quantity, remember). And charts and repeated practice.

If the sums are twisted, I get confused and everything becomes a mess. -> -> -> some gentleness with solving might help. Take a plain sheet of paper (ruled or not doesn't matter) and write down what the question has given us, and what it is asking. Then write down what exactly we need to get the answer. For example, the equation of trajectory is given to you in the question, and they have asked you to find the range. Given: equation. To find: range. We need: u and theta. What we have: y = 0 because when range is achieved, the y coordinate is zero. From there you solve it step by step.

Also, take a deep breath, these are beginner's jitters. I'm sure with practice they'll clear up.

ps: a link that helped me with memorising the equations for range, height and time of projectile ->

Hey!

What is your revision strategy for physics and chemistry?

Hello!

I refer to my short notes for Physics and NCERT or mindmaps for Chemistry. I find it better if I have a visual imprint of the sentences in my mind.

All the best!

how to create a perfect balance between entertainment/distractions and study? in other words how to actually have an actual healthy reward system that isnt too mentally draining TT

Hey anon!

I don't think I've mastered that yet. But I do realize that it starts with understanding and spotting that time passes different when we're immersed in any entertainment passtime or social media.

And understanding the consequences.

For example, I noticed that I spend unnecessary time on youtube when I'm on my laptop. So the next time I had back to back tests, I tried my best and succeeded in not using my laptop, and instead focused just on the books. It's paying off.

I've come to realize that it starts slow. And one will need to refocus a lot. And find new and better methods of rewarding efforts.

Like:

Before: Oh I studied one hour and completed this exercise of questions. Now I get to browse my phone. *one hour later* wait how is it evening already?

After: Oh I did this small exercise, 1/10th of what I should do. Should I do *X*....— NO. Let's do another three exercises and then think about it. I thought I'd browse social media, but maybe let's talk with my parents, let's count the stars, tend to my plants a bit. And alright back at it.

It. starts. slow.

And it's actually quite nice to be away from screens. Books are pretty cool.

If you're addicted to social media or binge-watching, I don't blame you but you won't be able to shut the impulse off one fine morning. There are two sides to the self within you: the draining reward system junkie and then the side that pitifully watches you expend useful time on it. The latter side needs to be sympathetic and patient with the former. And faith is important.

Parental controls or screen time patrols help too.

Wishing you all the best in your endeavors anon.

hii!!! honestly you're such a big inspiration because seem so determined and you work hard no matter what! like, how do you do it?? how do you get sm done in less time? what do you do if something you planned for a specific day doesn't work out as you planned it? how do you get past failures? And any tips for acing 12th? (Both in competitive and boards)

Hi, thank you for saying that, it was very kind!

how do you get sm done in less time?

Some practice, some reasonless meaningless smiles in the mirror, and the pigheadedness of overestimating my ability to complete tasks and then overreacting to achieve completion. I think being happy really does help. Reward system, studying in natural light, to name a few aids.

what do you do if something you planned for a specific day doesn't work out as you planned it?

If it happens in the beginning of a work day and it isn't worth getting myself wound up over, I push it to the back of my calendar for the day. If it still doesn't get completed or resolved by sunset, then I let the day I had decide if I need to scream about it or ask for help.

how do you get past failures?

If you don't mind the tmi, I don't think I can get over a failure if I don't stop caring about it. So I either sake a don't-care attitude about it until I make it, or I go through the Lorelai Gilmore recommended stage of wallowing. If I'm feeling wisdomous (wise, that's the word), I look for mistakes on my part and how I can learn from them. I try not to make the same kind of mistake twice.

And any tips for acing 12th? (Both in competitive and boards)

I made some posts when I was going to give Boards: like imp stuff for phy boards and I keep answering asks on the questions related to preparation for NEET and Boards. Feel free to peruse my old posts using tags if need be. My top tips regarding this topic have to be: (1) Practice a lot (2) NCERT is important, even for physics. Get your teachers to explain it to you while you have this kind of time left for NEET. Pls don't attempt to try and understand NCERT all by yourself. It's not as efficient as we hope it will be. (3) Try your best and hardest to have no backlogs. Be it labs, projects, chapters or presentations

Thank you for this ask. Hope what I shared helps you. All the very best for the year ahead of you!💛

hii i'm sorry if this seems sudden i've been trying to stay online less and kinda left tumblr and now i'm facing some issues about the registration and didn't know who else could be able to help so like for the droppers in the document uploading what documents uploading are there mine is showing the photos and fingerprints and signature only the marksheets and address proofs aren't there?? like marksheet is shown in the information bulletin and address proof was there last year i'm so very confused and for the portion on did you give neet before after you say yes they're asking how many times right not the previous application numbers??? this is all alright right?? should i just submit the whole thing and move on to make the payment or there's something wrong?? if you've done the registration please help

Address proof and marksheets are not being asked this year.

The question Did you give neet before? needs the response "yes" if you are a dropper. The number of attempts box means how many times you have written neet before. Not the application number, but the number of times (in numerical figures, not words) a candidate has written neet before.

You're on the right track so far. Make sure you have entered all other info correctly and proceed.

Hope it helped👍🏽 All the best
