Year 1 Continued...

Patience, persistence and practice - those are the essential ingredients to success in this scenario. So, let's move forward.

When coordinate geometry knocks at your doorstep, open the door and embrace it with both hands. Yes, it is a guarantee of marks in almost all competitive exams. At first, you may feel flabbergasted by the number of equations and variables you have to deal with. You'd be wondering how geometry took this shape. But don't recoil yet, because this geometry is far better than the Euclidean one. It has variety, but in a limited scope. I would recommend Cengage Publications' Coordinate Geometry for practice - it has a lot of variety and is very engaging. You'll love the topic after going through it.

I was personally not very fond of trigonometry. Nevertheless, it is useful. A fine grip on trigo can take you places in calculus. Give special attention to trigonometric equations, because it has many uses in other topics. Solution of triangles is a tricky topic to deal with. If you don't get it first time, don't be disheartened, because you'll get a lot of time to learn it again. If you get it first time, that's great. Keep it in your head and go ahead.

Now is usually the grand opening of Organic Chemistry for most of us. 11th class Organic Chem could be a little boring, but don't take it lightly. General Organic Chemistry is the backbone of the topic, so read it many times before going ahead. I would suggest that you start practicing questions from "Advanced Problems in Organic Chemistry" by Himanshu Pandey. It is an excellent book with loads of variety and proper coverage of all topics.

Physics should be relatively easy now, once you're done with mechanics. Waves and thermodynamics are easy to grasp, so do them properly this time so that you don't have to spend much time on them later. Thermodynamics constitutes a good proportion of questions in JEE, so sound concepts in this field will pay huge dividends.

All the best for the coming year!
