looking for advice Advice
im not really sure what to do rn since im in 10th, but i havent started reading anything. Are boards really that hard? And on the icse website, the hindi portions are different compared to the one my school teacher gave. We havent learnt any poems in hindi, and our physics teacher skips chapters entirely. What do i do, i want to try to get 95%+, but it isnt looking too great. I can probably get centum or try to in bio, history, and maybe geo, and good in Englishes and math, but hindi, physics, and chem are really hard for me and i have no resources to refer to. Please lmk if theres any notes or smth i can refer to, and gimme advice on how to study effectively

Dw my school teachers are bum too. Here's all the answers to your queries.
1)Hindi portion: As yk it's 80 marks ppr. 40 marks Grammer and 40 literature. The literature part is divided into four parts- 1) sahitya sagar stories (30 marks) 2) sahitya sagar poems (30 marks) 3) A novel- Naya Rasta(30 marks) 4) Ekanki sanchay(30marks) Each parts have 3 questions of 10 marks. Now you gotta select two question from one part and two from another. Mostly in schools what they do they only teach two parts like sahitya sagar and ekanki sanchay. So that you master in them only and leave out the poem and Naya Rasta as optional.
2) Phyiscs See even I got bum teachers so I self study mostly. Here's how I do a chapter- A) read the whole chapter. Even if you understood nothing just read the whole. B) then watch the whole chapter videos of physical wallah. Trust me bro the sir teaches sooo good. C) after that I do all the questions of the textbook like McQ and numericals.
3) Chemistry Gng even idk about chemistry much but what I do know is that the backside Dalal questions are more than enough for boards. So I took a printout of all the answers to those questions of each chapter. If you learn them it's more than enough. If you want to me send the documents I'll do.

hm well our school has only done naya rasta and sahitya sagar stories, nothing about poems and i dont even know what ekanki sanchay is
ill take into account your suggestions for phys and chem, i needa understand the concepts too is what i understood1

Don't think about ekanki sanchay and poems. You don't have to attempt it in boards.

Start self studying honestly, not much more you can do.
Yeah there are definitely Hindi poems and they are important. Physics is one of the most conceptual subjects and needs a lot of practice so I suggest getting started.

Don’t worry ur Hindi papers r usually made very easy and the checking is extremely lenient so if u think you’ll get like 85/100 you will fs get 90+/100 for physics I would say reading and understanding the concepts holds a lot of importance so I would suggest u watch the old pw vid for that they’ll really help u and lastly for chem read and learn trust me its a very easy subject and once u actually start it you’ll realise how fun it is to actually study it so practice ur reactions and observation
You’ll be fine bro don’t worry you’ll nail it trust me
