ICSE 10th Daughter in Kochi: Balancing KEAM/NEET Prep with Schoolwork

Ans: With Commerce, you can look at accounting, management, Economics, Law, Finance and many other areas.

Ans: Prefer ALLEN Online Coaching Classes. AhaGuru is another Better Option, if fees of Allen is More. However, If you join AhaGURU, join just Allen's Online Test Series also to practice questions online. Go to both Website, check & choose more suitable one for you.

NOW Coming to Preparation Strategies:

(1) Whenever you study at home, study for 45-minutes. Then take a break of 10-minutes when you can move away from your study table, walk, have some water & relax. If you continue studying beyond 45-minutes, your concentration power will go down, resulting to low output. Most students commit this mistake. (2) On daily basis (morning or evening whichever will be convenient to you), do yoga or meditation or physical exercises or play any games / sports for at least 30-45 minutes. This will further reduce your stress / distractions. (3) Study tough topics / tough subjects (applicable to you) early morning with your fresh mind. (4) Eat a lot of green vegetables / fruits which you can afford for & Avoid soft drinks (5) Every day night, before going to bed, revise whatever you have studied during the day. (6) Also, revise every week whatever you have covered till date (here your short-notes which you should prepare will be helpful). (7) Keep practising questions on topics which you have covered either offline or online (8) Give utmost importance to wrongly answered / difficult / complicated / tough questions and have a separate note-book specially for this for each subject (PCM) (8) You might be aware that JEE rank is allotted on the basis of highest score in Maths, followed by Physics & Chemistry. Practice more and more in Maths, till you reach Speed & Accuracy (9) By the end of 9th/10th/11th/12th standard (December-January), attempt fully syllabus online test series, evaluate and analyse your performance such as, (a) which topic / unit / concept you are weak which needs your revision and improvement as this will disturb you when you appear in actual JEE exam (b) abnormal time taken to attempt any question which you can come to know from Online Test Series which you should reduce (c) which questions you skipped and why? (10) Please AVOID studying under pressure that you should get admission only into IITs/ NITs. Never advisable. Any one can be successful, even if he / she studies in NON-IIT / NON-NIT Colleges also. (11) Have Plan B & Plan C for other Colleges Entrance Exams / Disciplines-Streams. (11) Avoid comparing yourself with other students. (12) Also, it is highly ideal to appear in / attempt minimum 5-Entrance Exams (for both Govt & Private Engineering Colleges). You will have a lot of options (easiest method) to choose the best and most suitable one, keeping in view a lot of factors such as, College | Location | Your Interest | Stream Preference | Placement Records | College Culture | Your Short & Long Term Goals | Pressure You Can Go Through | Your AIR & Job Market Condition when you apply for your BTech & Even after. I hope I have answered to your question with value additions.

All the BEST for your Bright Future.

Ans: Hi,
continuing with ICSE is okay, no issues regarding that. For higher studies abroad board does not matter, as even state board students pursue MS from USA. These are the major entrances which will provide you good options. Also you can register for VITEEE, COMEDK & MANIPAL.

Ans: Reserve three hours time for entrance coaching everyday. You have to extract 3 hours from 24 hours. Professor...............:)

Ans: Hello dear.
If you are asking, "How does she coach herself?" it suggests that she is not attending any coaching center and is preparing independently. However, if she intends to seek assistance from mentors or teachers for NEET preparation, here are some tips: (1) Encourage her to excel in basic mathematics from the 10th standard. (2) Revise trigonometry thoroughly, and if possible, aim to learn additional concepts from the 11th-grade textbook. (3) Attend classes consistently and strive for a minimum of 4-5 hours of self-study initially, gradually increasing it as much as possible. (4) Take class tests regularly. (5) If finances allow, consider joining an additional online test series for practice. (6) Encourage her to clarify her doubts at regular intervals without hesitation. (7) Prepare self-notes and shortcuts. (8) Create a Rankers file containing important formulas and summaries of all chapters or units. (9) Attempt to solve previous years' NEET question papers. Best of luck to your daughter for her bright future.
