Second session: https://ananyadevelopsjuniormasterminds.blogspot.com/2020/07/doubts-part-2.html

Hope you have started preparing schedules as I suggested u! 

Q1: Yaar Kayi seniors kehte Hain ki physics chemistry exams are tough then how we will give those.. 😝😝😂😂

Funny, indeed! U will obviously give them with your hands, with a pen, on a green white sheet of paper! Jokes apart, Why do you get scared even before giving boards? It was to our misfortune that we got tough papers of some subjects.. history, literature etc were quite easy. The solution is: DO YOUR BEST AND LEAVE THE REST. Apni taraf se 100% do. Baaki, leave it on God. Even I didnt get super Marks in physics and chemistry.. But I know that I gave my 100%. There is always a scope of improvement.  Keep on trying and practicing  as much as u can.

• Understand well in class.
• If u dont understand once, ask again and again until u understand. 
• If there r concepts about some working experiments or models or mechanisms in Physics, and experiments in chemistry,  check out a video of performing them on YouTube. U ll never forget them in ur life. As I told u in the previous posts. 
• Practise back exercise questions,  AFTER U HAVE DONE THE CHAPTER. U ll gain confidence and then u ll start enjoying to learn. Moreover,  back ex give u a thorough knowledge of the type of questions and enhance ur confidence. 
• Practise mock tests or sample papers.. bcz Practice makes a man perfect. 
• Do written practice of equations , formulas, numericals, balancing and NEVER try to cram them.. 
• Understand the concept. Sciences, esp physics and chemistry have a brainy paper.. so u should be clear with the concepts.
• Give ur paper WITH AN OPEN BRAIN. Dimag khol ke paper diya karo. It shudnt b that u r only physically present and ur mind has gone somewhere else..

Q2: How should we prepare Eng. Literature and Language? 

Prepare them with full zeal. They are very scoring and easy.. Dont take English as a light subject.. I did ample.. actually more than that practice of language.. still I ended up with 95 in language nd 99 in literature.. So u should give them a lot of time and patience. 

MERCHANT OF VENICE needs time. It is very easy, provided u do it regularly and understand the meaning of each line, each word. 

• Study along with mam, in the class with your full concentration. 
• Understand the meaning of each word, each phrase, each line.
• Read it at home once... just read, thoroughly. 
• During tests or otherwise when u ll be preparing lit, u won't find it difficult to recapitulate the points .
• Literature marking is point wise. U write the required pts.. u get full marks. But not by filling pages.. even I used to do this but I stopped till preboards.
• You should try to be good in vocabulary and write straightforward answers. 
• No beating around the Bush.. 
• For short stories and poems too, follow the same steps.
• Keep on recalling MERCHANT of VENICE and tough chs .. 
• DON'T LEAVE ANY CHAPTER OR POEM OR SCENE.. U never know if the easiest q comes from the toughest chapter. 
• Follow the guidelines given by teachers and PUT THEM INTO PRACTICE IN YOUR TERMINAL EXAMS AND BOARDS. 

A personal suggestion .. I have always attempted max questions from stories and MERCHANT of VENICE bcz the answers r v straightforward as compared to the poems.. BUT.. If u feel that in poems, you are pretty good at putting forth your viewpoint, go for attempting more poems.. some of my friends had followed this strategy, too. It is your decision. Any other specific doubt regarding lit, feel free to comment nd ask.

Jointly there was another question by Tanam.. 

Aap English two ke questions kaise attempt karte ho. Mai har time lambe lambe essay likh ke aati hu number fir bhi Kam aate hain

Even I used to write essays till 10th.. but in second term and preboards,  I stopped doing this bcz teachers told us the value of writing short and precise answers. In 9th and 10th u ll understand that in literature, every relevant point u write has a mark. In boards, it was like 3 marks for 3 points. Straightaway.  The more u write, the teacher thinks that u dont know the exact answer so u were beating around the bush.. So, present ur paper in such a manner that the teacher doesn't need to hunt for the points.. and write without any introduction or conclusion. The teacher ll b impressed and will give u full marks directly. 

ENGLISH LANGUAGE..

• Practise practise practise. The more u do, the better it is.
• Be thorough with all the exceptions in rules.
• Be very serious and dont take it lightly. 
• Do written revision of the notice, email, formats of letters etc.
• Try to READ MORE AND MORE BOOKS. If you come across a new word, find its meaning in the dictionary and use it in your compositions. U never know if it comes in the meanings of comprehension! 
• Practise more and more grammar. From total English, from other books, 10 year, practice papers etc. Any source you get.. but be thorough with basic rules.
• If you have get any doubts regarding English, u can ask.. 
• Now, read the last sentence again. Found any error? If yes, good. If no, read the rules of tenses from class 4th book! This is the point where u make mistakes.. Hope you got my point..
• Essay is a v crucial part of your paper.. make it attractive by using good vocab, quotes, sayings, your own thoughts etc. 
• Do WRITTEN practice of summary writing of comprehension. If you wont do, you will surely lose 8 marks. It makes a big difference indeed!

Q3: How to increase vocabulary? 

If you read the above post carefully, you will hv got ur answer.

Read more and more books . The more you read, the lesser it is. 

When you come across a new word, dont ignore it. LOOK IT UP IN A DICTIONARY , write the word and meaning at the back of your language notebook, and USE it in any of your further compositions like essays , letters etc. I did it this way. And at the end of your essay or Letter, make a column of NEW WORDS USED: followed by the word and its meaning. Before giving your exams, u should overview those words and use them in ur essay or compositions. I did it this way. If u wish to have a look at the way of my essays, u can ask.. I will post them in the next blog. 

The second method I used was .. I opened up a book I had, of Oxford..1000 words to know and use.. I used to randomly open any of the pages .. found a new word, saw its meaning. Wrote it in my rough notebook and then used it somehow in my composition. This way, I have increased my vocabulary..  I also write poems, blogs, articles, speeches, stories, etc.. Those have also helped me improve my English and fluency.. For any further guidance, u can feel free to contact 😊 

I guess this is enough for the day! 

I write less in one post, coz some of u r very lazy to read.. 😜😜.

For the next post, have patience.. I ll take up all ur doubts. 

Stay tuned. Stay safe. God bless you.

Study hard!! 

Do take a moment to comment and tell me how u felt abt this post.. If i can sacrifice my study time, hope u benefit from it.. that will really give me pleasure. 

And a big thanks to all those who spare a moment to drop a lovely comment which brightens my day and make me feel tht yes! I am doing good to them. Heartiest gratitude.

Doubts Part 2

Hello nd welcome back to my blog.. ananyadevelopsjuniormasterminds 📚📚 

Hope u DIGESTED the part 1 of my blog.. If u hv missed it by chance, check it out on the bottom/this link..

 https://ananyadevelopsjuniormasterminds.blogspot.com/2020/07/doubts-doubts-doubts-1.html

Today we will discuss about some queries related to subjects.. Class 9 and 10 in particular. 

💥1💥 Credit: Sneha

Q: Can we leave something for history? 

Ans: straightforward.. It is your wish .. how much you feel like scoring . If you wish to get good Knowledge, study all chapters. If you wish to get good Marks,  study all chapters 😎😎 I didnt leave any chapter in terms/preboards/boards.. Although I am worst at cramming, I never tried to CRAM. I digested each topic,  made it in a story form or used acronyms to make smt funny, and then learnt it. Now u ll ask.. "WHY NOT CRAM?" .. the ans to this is.. you can cram.. its ur wish.. but in objectives, you will need to answer with concept. If your concept is strong, you will surely get full in objectives. My mantra was: I did it over and over again.. because I was bad at cramming.. So, I suggest u not to leave anything bcz 

1) there is no grouping of chapters in history/civics, unlike geography 

2) objectives can come from anywhere in the chs

3) in boards , scope is followed but you should be thorough with every concept..

4) if u have a thorough knowledge of every concept.. u can surely attempt any objective.

Some more tips:

• Try to do it side by side.. if u make a schedule and follow it, u will be able to do it.
• PRACTICE AND PRACTICE AND PRACTICE. U can get full in history, if u r regular and follow the instructions given by Harleen mam and Neelu mam. 
• Do the important questions, of last year papers (10th class) .. We used to get many questions from them in terminal exams..

Q: Can we leave chapters from geography? How to score full marks in topo?

Ans: I always say.. u shud ask ur teachers.. 

I m telling u what I followed and what my teachers had told me..

In geo, u know the sets very well , before hand , (in preboards and boards ).. So u can see accordingly. If u do the chs very well, u may leave. But I didnt. I did all che in all terms, and attempted ALL QUESTIONS IN EXAM. U can also do that, but maintain ur speed. 

Tips for chapters class 10 finds difficult,  usually..

1) Agriculture: Do it in all terms.. I found that only reasons, climatic conditions, soil, leading producers , adv disadvantages and definitions come.. It is VERY SCORING. 

2) Industries: Do them in all terms. Make flowcharts of main pts . Usually, differences, reasons, areas, definitions , advantages disadvantages come.. In mineral based industries, I made a flowchart of the areas, output, names etc. Of all industries.. I attempted them in all terms.. It is also very scoring and they r very easy chapters , provided u do POINT WISE. 

3) Transport: Do it in all terms. Advantages , disadvantages, differences,  reasons, freeways, highways , waterways, airways, roadways, etc. come.. DEVELOP INTEREST AND THEN DO. It is again a very easy chapter, and scoring too. 

If u find any other difficult ch, u can cmnt and ask.. I ll try to help u out with some easy way..

In general.. Do geography with Interest.. I tell u.. I found the geography of class 10th the easiest.. becoz it is based on understanding, and concept. At times u may need to learn, but if u be REGULAR and do with INTEREST.. U ll find geography the easiest subject. Even I did. It works. The next time u open ur geo book, read it to gain KNOWLEDGE,  not to gain marks.  Mark's will automatically come.. Menka mam had told us in class one day that she checked a board paper in which the student got full Marks...  he had just filled up 4 sheets, and attempted 5 compulsory questions .. so u see, accuracy and concept matters. 

TOPOGRAPHY: 

A very easy, interesting task to do. Follow Menka mam and Palvinder mam.. Do it regularly.  U have the books not for show.. they r to make u practice, Solve them again and again.. not only before papers.. but regularly..  minimum, twice a week. MINIMUM. Follow each point taught in class and u ll never find topo difficult.  Marks will not come at the first place... they will come after sheer hard work and determination.  I think I got near abt 94/96 in first n 2nd term .. Practised more for topo, did 10 year , understood concepts, did again n again and then got 99 in preboards.. (20 in topography) OPEN YOUR BRAIN  AND THEN STUDY TOPO.

Q: Is there any need to do 10 year

Again, its ur wish.. Abheya didi.. who had come 3rd in india in 2018, had not done 10 years.. she had just done an overview and sample papers..As per my and my seniors' experience, the terminal exams nd preboards come to a considerable extent, from 10 year papers.. Moreover, it helps u in the following ways..

• They give u a practise of the board pattern.
• U can test your knowledge about how much u gained.
• But.. u should not see answers and do.. u should study the concept. Then see the questions, recall the ans in ur mind, and then confirm ur answer from the book(bcz sometimes 10 yr answers may be wrong).. 
• It's good to track your progress.
• You get to know your level, and your loopholes . 

So, I suggest that u shud practise it. Rest all depends on you. 

So, that's all for the day. P.S. I keep the blogs short bcz many students may get lazy by this time 😜😜. See you soon in the upcoming blog.

DOUBTS DOUBTS DOUBTS! #1

Credit: Rainbow Sweety (Shambhavi) 

Q1: How were you enjoying as well as learning at the same time?

• The answer to this is v simple. I just tried my level best to DEVELOP INTEREST in whatever I did. 
• Now u ll ask, give us a mantra to develop interest.. give it to us so that we can feel like studying .. Hello! I am not a magician😂😂 I can just tell u how I developed interest. I considered books my frnds , I read them with the FEEL THAT I HAVE TO DO SMT.. that I have to score good Mark's..  I hAve to make my parents proud.. If u dont determine, u ll never succeed. So from today, SET A TARGET TO URSELF. Although small, but SET IT TODAY. And dont forget to comment in the comment box, what u have decided.. what's ur target.
• A few examples: If I studied maths in jr classes till 8th.. I used to listen to music along with it. In the class, in 9th n 10th, MATHS LECTURES SEEMED BORING .. But I tried to understand each and every concept IN THE CLASS ITSELF , so that at home, I just needed to spend time with my beautiful books. Now what was my inspiration to understand in class? It was my DETERMINATION that I have to understand in the class and I dont have to waste my time at home again to understand the same concept.. Similarly, i used to relate SCIENCE with myself and the real world.. I used to make stories using the keywords of each para and then half of my task wud be over by itself. 
• I didnt study for hours and hours.. I used to gossip in between with my mum or sis, chat with my friends, go out for a walk in the fresh air.. but I always tried my best to do things along .. Still, due to my head girl duties , if I cudnt cope up simultaneously, I used to try completing them on WEEKENDS. Wasting time on weekends IS NOT GOOD FOR A SENSIBLE CHILD WHO WISHES TO SCORE GOOD. And I guarantee u.. if u try to do side by side or on weekends,  you will never feel burdened. It's a well proven fact. 

Q2: Coping up with exam pressure.. 

For this, I used to follow only 1 thing .. taking pressure   MAKING A SCHEDULE AND FOLLOWING IT. 

The back of my notebooks used to be full of my schedules. And it was v seldom  that I completed them 😛😜😜😜 But the benefit of them was that I used to be a bit (20%) serious. I got the inner urge to study and put crosses with red pens on the task for that particular day.

                                           How did I make schedules?

I used to write down the 10 subjects in the margin, and the syllabus covered by teachers , but not done by me, on the right side. Then below that, I used to write down the week days and weekends, in the margin . In front of them, I wrote the topics or chapters I would do , in the remaining time, AFTER SCHUL HOURS, AND EXCLUDING THE TESTS SCHEDULED FOR THE WEEK. This way, I used to plan my entire week.

Ab aapke dimag mei baat aati hogi.. ki schedule agar follow nhi hua, uss week ka.. toh kya? The ans to this is .. I used to keep some hours of Sunday, and some light scheduled days of the week. In which I could complete the pending schedule . This way, har hafte mera scheduled syllabus khatm ho jata tha. Even if not, I used to shift it to next week. Next week, (mostly on Sunday) I prepared my schedule for the next 3-7 days. 

EK BAAD YAAD RAKHNA:

U can never find a magic trick to get good Mark's. 

So what did we learn in the 2 points?

♡ Learn with interest. Make senseless stories , using the KEYWORDS of each topic. Zindagi mei kabhi vo topic bhulega nhi. My guarantee. 

♡Make a schedule. First week mei follow nhi hoga. 2nd week mei follow nhi hoga. 3rd week se your brain will start functioning by itself and u ll start following ur schedule , even if by 20%. This efficiency will keep on increasing and u ll never find ur studies difficult. Mark my words. 

I ll share one of my schedules. U can make like it, or ur own. Kitna aap kar sakte ho.. uske accordingly. Bcz if I have the income of Rs.10, I cannot go to buy a chocolate of Rs. 100 .. so u shud make the schedule accordingly. Acc to ur speed, ur time table nd ur syllabus.  

This was of my 9th class.. 

On a rough pg I used to write my pending syllabus. 

Hope u got an idea now , how to plan.

Although it's a bit blur, I hv shared it.. 

The original schedule vala paper is being recycled somewhere 😝😂 This was a pic I had sent to my frnd.. 

This schedule is of the preparation of the remaining boards.

Believe me, I had never followed my schedule properly,  ever since.. but this was the 1st time I did that. 

If I cud do good,  u can also do the same.. better than me, may b! 

I ll love to see u rise and shine ♥️♥️

This was all for today. See u soon with the next blog. 

It ll cover Concentration tips, how to avoid social media distractions and one more question.  

I expect u to make ur first schedule right now, and start following it. Till boards, u ll b well trained to do the same 💫💫 

ComMENT nd tell abt :

1) ur first experience of making a schedule

2) your doubts regarding today's coverage. 

3) any other query u wish me to clear. 

I ll answer each of them. 😊😊

   

Thank u!

Stay safe!
