Key Takeaways & Strategy Based on Weightage
- Focus more on high-weightage chapters: For example, in Maths, coordinate geometry and integral calculus are very important. In Physics, optics, electrostatics, and modern physics are high-yield.
- Don’t ignore moderate-weightage chapters: They still make a significant part of the paper.
- Practice past year papers: Use chapter-wise PYQs (previous year questions) to understand how questions are asked.
- Balance between study and revision: Make sure you revise high-weightage topics multiple times.
