Question by Soujanya on Aug 13, 2024Hindi

Hello... My son preparing for jee 2025. Till 10th standard he did not have any coaching. But he is very hard working. Although he is working hard he is not able to score above 200 out of 300 in weekend exams in college. For ex: Sometimes he gets 187/300 but sometimes 118/300. I dont want to pressurize hime for marks but guide hime so that he can do better. Plz suggest me as exam is in jan 2025.

Ans: Soujanya Madam, You have NOT mentioned which coaching center he has joined? Integrated or weekday or weekend classes? Which Board (State or CBSE) he belongs to?

However, please note,

(1) It is not necessary that he should have joined for Coaching in 10th or before.
(2) To improve his score:

(a) You should first identify his favourite & weak subjects.
(b) He should study weak subjects whenever he feels fresh, preferably early morning
(c) After he attempts the Weekend Exams/Chapter Tests etc., he should focus more on Wrongly Answered Questions, dropped/NOT attempted/skipped Questions and should have a separate note-book for each subject (PCM) for those questions.
(d) Revising them time and again is also more important
(e) He should prepare his OWN short-notes/list formulae/mind-map etc. and should keep revising them also.
(f) Once a chapter is taught in School or Coaching Center, he should try to complete the same on same day or at least in 1 day or two. Else, he will forget everything after 3-days.
(g) Whenever he has doubts only any particular topic/concept, he should get it clarified from his School Teacher/Coaching Center Faculty or from Internet. He should not postpone it.
(h) Having a flexible Study Schedule will further help.
