1) Shuruat — Diagnostic & Planning (Day 1–7)

• Diagnostic test: Har subject ka 1 diagnostic paper do (NCERT-level). Time it and score it. Note: weak topics, strong topics.
• Syllabus mapping: Har subject ka official CBSE syllabus likho (topic wise). Mark karo:
  • A (High weightage / must-score)
  • B (Medium)
  • C (Low)
• Target set karo: Overall % target aur subject-wise target (e.g., Maths 85+, Physics 80+).
• Weekly time budget: Decide daily study hours (example: 4–6 hrs school-going, 7–10 hrs for repeaters/full-time).

2) Long-term Roadmap (12 → 6 → 3 → 1 months phases)

A. 12+ months out (Build Foundation)

• Focus: NCERT complete + concept clarity.
• Action:
  • Finish NCERT theory for each subject (read + underline).
  • Make short notes/chapter summaries while reading.
  • Solve end-chapter NCERT questions.
  • Start PYQs collection (2015–2025) and tag by chapter/topic.

B. 6 months out (Practice + Application)

• Focus: PYQs, sample papers, strengthen weak topics.
• Action:
  • Solve PYQs topic-wise (do 3 years → analyze → 3 more).
  • Start one full timed sample paper per week.
  • Maintain error log (see template below).

C. 3 months out (Consolidation)

• Focus: Full syllabus revision cycles + weekly mocks.
• Action:
  • Do 2–3 full papers per week under exam conditions.
  • Revise each chapter at least twice in this phase.
  • Start last-minute formula sheets & mind-maps.

D. 1 month out (Polish + High-frequency topics)

• Focus: High-yield topics, speed, answer writing.
• Action:
  • Daily 1 full paper + analysis.
  • Rapid revision notes only (no new topics).
  • Practice previous failed questions and similar ones.

E. Last 7 days (Exam week)

• Focus: Calm, light revision, sleep.
• Action:
  • Quick formula revisions, one short timed paper (max).
  • Sleep 7–8 hrs, avoid learning new topics.

3) Weekly & Daily Routine (Practical templates)

Sample weekday (school + study)

• 05:30 – 06:15 — Revision (flashcards / formula sheet)
• 06:30 – 07:30 — School prep / travel
• 08:00 – 14:30 — School
• 16:00 – 18:00 — Study Session 1 (Difficult subject — Maths/Physics)
• 18:15 – 18:45 — Break / Exercise / Snack
• 18:45 – 20:15 — Study Session 2 (Theory — History/Chemistry)
• 20:15 – 20:45 — Dinner / Short walk
• 20:45 – 22:00 — Practice (PYQs / sample paper Qs / English writing)
• 22:15 — Quick review of what learned + sleep

Sample weekend (focused study)

• 07:00 – 09:00 — Full subject revision (2 hrs)
• 09:30 – 11:30 — Timed practice (one paper section)
• 12:30 – 14:00 — Doubt clearing / teacher session / online video
• 15:00 – 17:00 — PYQs practice (topic focus)
• 18:00 – 20:00 — Mock paper or revision notes
• 20:30 — Plan next week

Tip: Use Pomodoro (50/10 or 25/5) during study sessions.

4) How to Use PYQs (2015–2025) — Step by Step (Crucial)

1. Collect & classify: Keep one folder per subject with PDFs from 2015–2025. (Aapne yeh range chaha hua).
2. Topic tagging: For each question, note which chapter/topic it belongs to.
3. Frequency table: Make a small sheet — topic vs times asked in 2015–2025. This gives high-yield topics.
4. Solve timed: Solve PYQ papers under timed conditions (or at least sections timed).
5. Marking-scheme analysis: Read official marking scheme for 2–3 years — note common answer keywords and step marks.
6. Repeat: Re-solve the same paper after 2–3 weeks to check retention.

5) Mock Tests & Analysis Plan

• Schedule: From 3 months out — 2 mocks/week → last month 4–5 mocks/week.
• Mock structure:
  • Simulate exam environment strictly (no phone, same duration).
  • After test: immediate self-marking (or teacher) using marking scheme.
  • Analysis format:
    • Total score & time spent per section.
    • Error log entries (topic, error type: concept/careless/time).
    • Action: practice 5 micro-exercises on each error topic that week.
• Goal: Each mock must have a corrective plan; never take a mock without analysis.

6) Revision Matrix (How many times to revise per topic)

• High-weight (A) topics → 6 revision passes (Initial study + 5 spaced revisions)
• Medium (B) → 4 passes
• Low (C) → 2 passes
• Schedule (example): 1st pass after learning; 2nd after 3 days; 3rd after 2 weeks; 4th after 1 month; 5th during 3-month consolidation; final pass in last 30 days.

7) Subject-wise Specific Tactics

Mathematics

• Learn concepts + standard method for each problem type.
• Make a formula sheet per chapter.
• Do 10–15 PYQ problems/chapter (2015–2025 priority).
• Do step-wise practice: attempt, check solution, redo mistakes immediately.
• Speed: Practice mental calculations, short cuts, and time allocation (e.g., for 80-mark paper, 3 marks ≈ 6–8 min).

Physics

• Understand derivations; practice numerical problems with units.
• Make list of standard formulae with derivation cues.
• Draw neat labeled diagrams (circuit diagrams, ray diagrams).
• Practice previous years’ numerical distribution and unit checks.

Chemistry

• Inorganic: memorize tables & reactions (use flashcards).
• Organic: reaction mechanisms & named reactions — practice writing steps.
• Physical: practice numerical problems carefully; units and significant figures matter.

Biology

• Diagrams + labels + definitions are scoring.
• Make flowcharts for physiological processes.
• Memorize key points for each chapter; practice “define/describe/diagram” type PYQs.

Accountancy / Business Studies

• Practice ledger/journal problems (Accountancy) repeatedly.
• For theory (BST), make point-wise answers with headings — list of frequently asked case study formats.

Economics

• Understand definitions, diagrams, and numerical/graphical analysis.
• Practice interpretation of data & case-based questions.

History / Geography / Pol. Science

• History: timelines, dates (important), key events in point form.
• Geography: maps practice, diagrams, case studies.
• Pol Science: define + example + significance style answers.

English (Core)

• Practice unseen passages, writing tasks (letter, article, report).
• Memorize 5–6 idioms/phrases and template structures for long answers.
• For literature, prepare character/summary/central theme notes for each chapter/poem.

Hindi

• Practice comprehension, essay and grammar portions.
• Make short model answers for literature sections.

Physical Education & Informatics Practices (Common)

• PE: Know theory + viva points; practice short answer and long answer formats.
• IP: Practice programming questions, flowcharts, and practical exercises; maintain project code backup.

8) Answer-writing & Presentation (High impact)

• Read paper 10 minutes: Mark questions you will answer first.
• For each answer:
  • Start with a short definition/one-line intro.
  • Use headings/numbering for multi-part answers.
  • For numerical answers show steps; for theory use bullet points (if allowed).
  • Use diagrams where relevant — label clearly.
  • Box/underline final answer in Maths/Science.
• Neatness matters: Leave small gaps between answers, write legibly.
