TLDR;
This video provides a comprehensive 60-day plan to score 100% in CBSE Class 10 Maths, focusing on smart strategies, effective resource utilization, and confidence-building techniques. It emphasizes the importance of will power, consistent practice, and smart planning. The plan includes a chapter sequence based on Return on Investment (ROI), a detailed daily schedule, and tips for exam preparation and presentation.
- Prioritize chapters with high ROI (less time and effort, more marks).
- Follow a structured 60-day plan with specific phases for basic clarity, next-level practice, performance enhancement, and final revision.
- Utilize resources like NCERT, Exemplar, Question Banks, and previous years' papers effectively.
Introduction [0:00]
The video emphasizes that success in math relies equally on confidence and calculation skills. Overcoming fear is crucial for solving problems effectively. With only 60 days remaining, a strategic comeback is not just possible but guaranteed with the right approach. The speaker outlines three essential components: unwavering will power, hands-on practice, and smart planning. The video promises a clear roadmap, a strategic chapter sequence, and guidance on resource selection, including the speaker's own worksheet of important questions.
ROI: Return on Investment [2:43]
The speaker introduces the concept of Return on Investment (ROI) to prioritize chapters based on their potential to yield maximum marks with minimum time and effort. Chapters are investments where time is exchanged for marks, and the goal is to identify those that offer the highest return. The video presents a chapter-wise weightage analysis, advising viewers to consider ROI rather than just weightage when deciding on the sequence of chapters to study.
Chapter Sets and Insights [4:21]
The video divides chapters into three sets based on their ROI. Set 1 includes chapters like Statistics, Coordinate Geometry, Arithmetic Progression, Quadratic Equations, and Surface Areas and Volumes, which are easy, less time consuming, and high-scoring. Set 2 comprises chapters like Circles, Areas Related to Circles, Linear Equations, Polynomials, Probability, and Real Numbers, which are moderately time-consuming but still important and scoring. Set 3 contains chapters like Triangles, Trigonometry, and Applications of Trigonometry, which require more time and effort but offer comparatively less return. The speaker provides specific insights and tips for each chapter, including recommended resources and important topics.
60-Day Comeback Plan: Phase 1 - Basic Dose [9:17]
The first phase of the 60-day plan focuses on building a strong foundation with NCERT. Devote at least 3 hours daily to math, starting with 10-15 minutes of theory to understand concepts, followed by solving all exercises and examples. Create a formula and concept diary, including rules, theorems, identities, properties, and formulas with short examples for quick recall. Implement a system to mark questions: circle those not solved in the first attempt and use a hashtag for tricky ones, to revisit during the revision phase.
60-Day Comeback Plan: Phase 2 - Next Level Question Practice [11:48]
Phase two is dedicated to practicing higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) and competency-based questions. Instead of completing RD Sharma and RS Aggarwal entirely, use a smart combo of Exemplar (for important questions), Question Bank (for competency-based questions), and RD Sharma (for solved examples). Solve all questions from Exemplar, Question Bank and RD Sharma for one chapter and then move to the next. Continue marking unsolved and tricky questions for later revision.
60-Day Comeback Plan: Phase 3 - Performance Dose [13:40]
This phase aims to prepare the brain to handle exam pressure through real sample paper solving. Solve at least four sample papers, along with those issued by CBSE and previous years' questions (PYQs) from the last five years. Allocate 10 days for this phase, solving one sample paper within 3 hours daily, using a timer to simulate exam conditions.
60-Day Comeback Plan: Phase 4 - Lock-In Dose [15:42]
The final phase focuses on revision and locking in all gained knowledge. Revise the chapter-wise concept and formula diary created in Phase 1. Practice only the circled and hashtagged questions from NCERT, Exemplar, Question Bank, and RD Sharma. Solve one full paper daily under exam conditions, using the sample papers and PYQs saved from Phase 3, along with the speaker's worksheet of important questions.
Topper Moves: Exam Hall Strategies [17:25]
The video shares strategies to maximize performance in the exam hall. Fix the attempt order while practicing with sample papers, prioritizing securing big marks first before attempting MCQs and short questions. Avoid silly mistakes by reading questions word by word, writing down given information neatly, and rechecking before attempting. Use diagrams for clarity in geometry-related questions.
Presentation Tips and Resources [19:18]
The video provides tips for better presentation in the math exam, such as writing the final answer in a box, not skipping steps, including units, and mentioning the formula used in brackets. Use only a blue ballpoint pen, use pencil for diagrams and rough work, and do rough work on the last page, clearly labeled as "Rough Sheet." The speaker reveals the resources used, including NCERT, Exemplar, RS Aggarwal, RD Sharma, Oswaal sample papers, CBSE sample papers, and PYQs. The speaker also promises to share a document of important questions from Exemplar and scanned copies of chapter-wise worksheets.
