Year 2

If you've been sincere so far, you must be accustomed to certain ways of efficient learning by now. Stick to them, and make them even better, so that you continue to grow. Keep doing the topics that you couldn't pick up in Year 1, and regularly revisit the ones that you could. You've now reached a stage when you need to flex your muscles and put your vehicle in the next gear.

Now you'll need to spend more time on Math than on Physics. Calculus is probably the most interesting field of Mathematics, and, if understood properly, can do wonders almost everywhere. PRACTICE A LOT. Once again, I would recommend Cengage Publications' book, as it has a huge variety of question types, levels of difficulty and formation of problems. Probability and Permutations and Combinations are exciting, but can get confusing too. Probability in particular, requires time, and a lot of practice. 

Keep learning Organic Chemistry. Don't lag. Put in your inputs, and watch it flow seamlessly from the books to your brain and lift you to the next level. Consistent revision is the ultimate key to unlocking an enviable grasp of Organic.

Establish links between Gravitation and electrostatics. Between mechanics and electromagnetism. Physics can be approached efficiently in this manner. Explore the connections already made, link them with existing topics, and use these links to solve numerous problems. Make it a point to study Modern Physics properly - it is easy to ignore. But if you become good at it, it's a guarantee of substantial marks in the exam. Optics is one of the easiest topics in the whole of the syllabus. Go ahead and master it.

In the midst of all this, don't forget Units and Dimensions. You'll be glad you did it.
 
One more advice - do school work regularly, not just because everyone wants you to do well in Board exams, but also because it helps later on. Your sincerity in science practicals reflects in later life, as well as a few questions in almost every entrance exam. Practice from NCERT opens your doors to stronger grasp of the formulas, and familiarity with the most common question types. Needless to say, NCERT Chemistry is the backbone of the chemistry question papers in all entrance exams.
