I hope you’re all doing well. Today, I’m here with a crucial video that will help you strategize your preparation for the upcoming mathematics exams. With just 30 days left, it’s time to organize your efforts effectively to maximize productivity and performance. This guide will walk you through a step-by-step plan to cover the syllabus, revise efficiently, and tackle the exam with confidence.
The 30-Day Plan: Key Highlights
Start Strong: Make Today Count
The first step is to treat today as the most important day of your preparation. Forget about what happened yesterday or what might happen tomorrow. Focus on giving your best today, and if you maintain this momentum for the next 30 days, success is guaranteed.
Follow the 80/20 Rule
In most exams, 80% of the questions are easy, while the remaining 20% are moderate to difficult. Your goal should be to secure the maximum marks from the easy questions. If you can confidently solve these, you’ve already secured a significant portion of your score. Once you’ve mastered the basics, move on to the more challenging problems.
Syllabus Weightage Breakdown
Understanding the weightage of each topic is crucial. Here’s a quick breakdown:
- Calculus: 46%
- Determinants: 18%
- Linear Programming & Probability: 12% each
- Vectors & 3D Geometry: 12%
- Other Topics: 12%
Calculus carries the highest weightage, so allocate more time to it. However, don’t neglect the other topics, as they are equally important for scoring well.
Stick to NCERT: Minimize Resources, Maximize Revision
With limited time, avoid switching between multiple books or resources. Stick to NCERT for concepts and solved examples. Solved examples are particularly important as they provide a variety of problem types that are likely to appear in the exam. If time is short, prioritize solved examples and miscellaneous problems over exercises.
Question Practice: PYQs and Mock Tests
Solve previous year questions (PYQs) to understand the exam pattern and frequently asked questions. Additionally, take mock tests to assess your preparation. Analyze your performance, identify weak areas, and revise accordingly.
