1. Poor Time Management
The problem:
Some students give all their attention to one or two subjects they like, completely ignoring the others. Sound familiar?
The fix:
- Make a study plan that includes all subjects.
- Spend more time on weaker areas but don’t neglect your strengths.
- Keep a mix of theory, problem-solving, and revision every day.
2. Ignoring NCERT Books
The problem:
Everyone wants the fanciest reference books, but NCERT? Meh, it gathers dust on your shelf. This is a HUGE mistake!
The fix:
- NCERT is your holy grail, especially for Chemistry and Biology.
- Highlight important lines and concepts—it’s all there, and most board and competitive exam questions are based on NCERT.
3. Using Too Many Reference Books
The problem:
You think buying 10 books per subject equals success. Instead, you end up overwhelmed and confused.
The fix:
- Stick to 1–2 trusted books per subject.
- Physics: HC Verma
- Chemistry: OP Tandon or NCERT
- Math: RD Sharma
- Biology: Trueman’s or MTG
- Quality > quantity when it comes to study resources!
4. Relying Only on Theory
The problem:
You read a chapter but don’t solve problems, thinking, “I’ll understand it later.” Spoiler: You won’t.
The fix:
- Right after studying a concept, solve related questions—this applies to Physics and Math especially.
- Take mock tests to simulate real exam pressure and improve application skills.
5. Skipping Difficult Topics
The problem:
Can’t crack Organic Chemistry? Mechanics feels like Greek? Skipping them isn’t the solution!
The fix:
- Break the topic into smaller sections and tackle one part at a time.
- Use videos, animations, or apps for visual understanding. And don’t hesitate to ask for help—your teachers and peers are there for you!
6. Forgetting Revision
The problem:
You finish a chapter and move on, only to forget it a month later. 😟
The fix:
- Revise daily—even 30 minutes a day can make a huge difference.
- Create summary notes or flashcards for last-minute revisions.
7. Ignoring Health and Sleep
The problem:
Some students think burning the midnight oil and living on junk food will make them productive. Spoiler: It doesn’t.
The fix:
- Get 7–8 hours of sleep every night—your brain processes what you study while you sleep.
- Eat balanced meals and stay hydrated. Exercise or meditate to keep stress at bay.
8. Skipping Past Year Papers
The problem:
Many students ignore past board and entrance exam papers, thinking they aren’t relevant anymore. BIG mistake!
The fix:
- Solve past papers regularly—they give you a clear idea of question patterns and difficulty levels.
- Analyze your mistakes and work on weak areas.
9. Memorizing Without Understanding
The problem:
You memorize formulas and definitions but can’t apply them. This is especially dangerous in Physics and Math.
The fix:
- Focus on understanding why something works instead of just how.
- Watch concept-based videos or try practical experiments for deeper clarity.
In Closing:
Class 12 PCMB is challenging, but it’s not impossible. The key is to work smart, stay consistent, and avoid these common mistakes. Remember, this year is a stepping stone to your dreams. So buckle up, plan wisely, and keep pushing forward.
