How to make use of technology?

An excellent strategy is to record inorganic chemistry lectures in your smartphone and play them during your free time. You can use headphones/earphones so as to not disturb people around you. This may seem to be a trivial idea, but trust me, it is magical. If you play those lectures daily, they are sure to get etched in your memory. This strategy helps a lot in avoiding memorization. It also helps you utilize your free time.

Review Notes Before Class-

When we go into a classroom, there are usually a few minutes available before the test or lecture that you can use to review the information.

One good way to do this is to write down a top points list.
A top points list is a list that has the key points to the class or items that may be on a test.

Before getting started clear your mind and just read through notes in minimum time.

How to gain self-confidence?

You gain self-confidence by achieving more.

The general cycle goes like this:

● Aim for a target

● Work hard and achieve it

● Your self-confidence will increase (because you achieved something!)

● Aim for another target.

So, the best way to improve self-confidence is to set small goals and achieve them.

Should I opt for a coaching institute?

If it is possible to join a coaching institute, you should definitely go for it.
Even if your coaching teacher is horrible, he/she will surely be able toprovide you some theory material, problem sets and most importantly, a timeline for syllabus completion. Having a timeline in front of your eyes helps a lot. It ensures that you are always geared up and you don’t stop moving.

Garner’s Ten Commandments on
Problem Solving-

I. Read the textbook and class notes, then start the problems
by reading a problem slowly to make sure you understand the
question.

II. Make a big fgure. Write down the given parameters and circle
the unknowns. Introduce symbols for all quantities- don’t work
with numbers.

III. Find what basic physics principles apply to the problem. You
will then express these principles in terms of the symbols you
introduced in II.

IV. Do the math, i.e. solve the equations you found in III for the
unknown.

V. Make sure the units are correct.

VI. Ask yourself, does the answer I got seem reasonable.

VII.The level of diffculty of problems varies substantially. Some
problems will be straightforward, some would be moderate
whereas some would be diffcult.

VIII.If you can’t solve a problem, put it aside and take it up later.
Many times you will then be able to solve it quickly.

IX. Work in a team of two or at most three students. You can help
each other learn.

X. Life’s most diffcult problems require you to ask, “Does a
solution exist, and if so, is it unique.”

Remember that trying shortcuts or solving questions in a brief manner in the beginning itself will lead to serious problems and you will not be able to gain mastery.

How to plan studying in school/coaching Before class?

What you do before each class will have a significant impact on the quality of learning that takes place during that class.

• Read all the assigned material. Part of your study time each day should consist of looking ahead to those sections in your text that are to be covered the following day.

• You do not necessarily have to study and learn the material on your own, but if you survey the concepts, terminology, diagrams, and examples, the new ideas will seem more familiar to you when the instructor presents them.

• You can take note of concepts that appear confusing or diff i cult to be ready to listen carefully for your instructor’s explanations. • You can be prepared to ask the questions that will increase your understanding.

• Previewing new material enables you to see what is coming and prepares you to be ready to absorb it.

• Review lecture notes from previous classes.

Memory: How to improve it?

How to Develop Interest / Confidence in the Subject?

Asking yourself ‘why’ is part of life’s journey and you should
ask this question to yourself more frequently. ‘Why do you
do what you do?’

When the ‘why’ becomes clear you automatically get an answer to the ‘how’.

You should know that if you are not good at one thing you can be good at ten other things.
