What r ur views abt study?
I love to study , as far as it is related to my intrest . Computers?:rolleyes:


What do u think what we get after studying?

As giga said Knowledge

Do u think that only by studies people can be successful in their aims?

No , Skills are also required . and intrest also

How will u define today's studies? Is it related to real life?

totally no , i think i will never need to know what i learnt in history
Computers is my career , Maths is far more important than Hindi or History

What abt cramming? Are u in the favour?

Defeinetely NOT , I hate Cramming . the second topper in my class is crammer(Is that we say?)he always do Rattafication . he does'nt even knows how to open paint . he study(i meen ratta) almost everytime .
What changes u want should be there in today's studies?
Direct Exam , As Giga Said , Questions related to your Field :p and what we need to know
for Eg - a computer student should be given tuff Maths , Programming skills,Computer related Questions . while other student should be given Easy maths tuff science .

Studying what the education system teaches is totally pointless. If one can cram in a year's portion within a week of studies, then you can see the pointlessness of the whole thing. And even more important is, if you forget what you studied two weeks later, even though you got a high percentage, goes to show that it DOES NOT help us in our lives. Best is to study what you really love doing and you will be the happiest.

In my view while studying everything is black, on a white sheet. Sometimes there are pics, but my view dont get it,what's its about(except in the chapter Reproductive System)

Lots and lots of sleep.

If your aim is to get bored and to get sleep, then YES!!

amanjagga said:

For how many marks is this question asked??

amanjagga said:

Isn't studyin=cramming. Don't tell me there are other ways too.

amanjagga said:

There should be no change. On a second thought....there should be no studying at all.No studying,no change.

What r ur views abt study?

Meh...one of life's necessary evils...

What do u think what we get after studying?

Everything in life? Without studying you can't go anywhere in life. Unless you want to be a coolie or something.

Do u think that only by studies people can be successful in their aims?

YES...without a doubt, without any ambiguity, yes...

How will u define today's studies? Is it related to real life?

Absolutely...the higher you go, the more related to real life it gets. If you are studying History in high school, you may think its waste, but a broad understanding of a number of subjects is very important. And when it comes to Bachelor level...or even Masters, your studies define you professionally. In my MBA, I'm studying real life business cases, strategic theory, finance concepts...a lot of stuff which I am going to use day in and day out when I get working after I graduate.

What abt cramming? Are u in the favour?

Yes...but not everyone is capable of doing it...I'm super at cramming, but my brother has flunked many times when he tried doing it...depends from person to person.

What changes u want should be there in today's studies?

Only one thing, as far as Indian education is concerned...its based waay too much on theory. You need more practical aspects for education at all levels in India today. This is the only reason why professional degrees (Bachelors onwards) are so much better abroad than in India. Anyone who argues otherwise is just biased because they are from India and/or heavily invested in an Indian degree.

I'm not being kanjoos at all! :)

But your 10th standard marks determine your 12th standard admissions...your 12th standard marks determine your Bachelor's admissions...your Bachelor's marks determine your Master's admissions...its one step after another...so even if no one remembers what your 10th standard marks are...you still need to study hard.

Besides, not concentrating on studies especially when you are 15 years old is not a good habit to get into for the rest of your life...

i believe 10 marks are important at certain point (even 70 % is good enough to get into anything --personal view) but scoring marks is a never ending process... like faraaz said they r all connected for better reasons from 10 - postgraduation

Science With computers is more in depth & Good .

okay... everyone here has taken the conventional meaning abt studies.... try to think in other ways also

I think that studies are erally imp... if not.. hw can u achieve anything???
Be doin engineerin/medical/law.. etc. or arts or even robbery ?? A carefully planned and studied robbery has better chances of being a succesful, isnt it ??

We shuld gain knowledge and make some useful neural connections...

No.. only studying wont give success or help in achievin goals and aims........... Apt application of our knowledge is much more important...

Today's studies are much more related to real life than some decade ago.. but they still have loooong way to go..

Crammin wont do anyone any good... Lest u need to pass some mandatory subject which is all greek to you...

Today's studies should more carefully planned by the authorities and the advancement in technology and the various fields must b used to aid students..

Well in which board are you?? Do Inernational Baccalaureate board if possible. Its too good. Gives u the freedom to choose subjects. I was way too bad at chem so I dropped chem and took businesss. But IB is not easy, its a bit complicated course - need to do 4000 words essay, 4000 words thesis and stuff. But yea its good and its the future..

If you ask me then science is relatively easier then other streams.+2 physics and chemistry is interesting and not at all tough IMHO.

You can continue your studies in any city of your choice provided you get admission in the school of your choice.Securing admission in +1 in Delhi is extremely tough if not impossible.

^ +1 for Devil Himself!! I did Science in my +2 and let me tell you, even if it is a little hard, it prepares you for later in life. If you can pass ISC Science (which is the hardest board there is in India IMO) you can do anything in life! :)
The_Devil_Himself
Nov 19, 2007 at 6:06 PM
Yep ISC is the worst(read hardest) board.

Still I think science is not hard.But again it all depends upon your interests,if you think you would do better in or you like commerce then just go for it.I had science in my +2,I liked biology physics and chemistry a lot but I wish I had subjects like economics and geography too but I guess they don't match much,not here atleast.

Enough of blah blah.Take my advice don't be influenced by what your friends are taking or what your parents think is good for you just go for what you love to study.And don't ever regret your decisions cos whatever you have done you have done it your way.

The_Devil_Himself
Nov 19, 2007 at 8:00 PM
^hehe same here maths+physics+biology were compulsory in my school so I had to take maths+physics+chemistry+biology+english.No regrets though.But eventually I'll have to do geography again for IAS(in near future).So it all comes back to you.

He he...I did the same thing...for my 10th, I studied 1 week before the exams...got an overall of 90 % ... of course, this strategy backfired in 12th, and I only got 79% overall but whatever, I got it out of the way...

But the thing is, the 1 week I spent before the exams was hell for me. 30 hour studying with no sleep, no breaks...tension to finish the portions and godly amount of concentrating on the stuff...I was burnt out for a couple of weeks after the exams because of that...

I suggest 3-4 hours of studying per day...you WILL ace your exams and that's not TOO much to ask, is it?

yeah preparing 4 competitive exams helped me alot, but remember the syllabus of those exams is vast.

I had same combo (pcmb), do pay attention to maths(i got 82 cuz of 1 day study), for bio everything was asked from book(one word answers were all from the minute details in the book, i was lucky that i read the whole book a day before exam and dropped the idea of reading refresher, got 96 :) ).

For chemistry(got 95) and physics(got 90, one question of 4 marks went wrong cuz i misunderstood the diagram for paramagnetic material, u must study text-books for board exams, atleast once) u gotta be well prepared for numericals. If u know numerical solving strategy then derivations and theory are too easy to grasp. Try to solve complete numerical books from any reputed author, it helped me getting thru competitive exams also.

English is an art which can be learned if u enjoy it. Try to read every bit of text books, they are much better than reading novels at this time. Get the meaning of every word and frame out questions on your own then try to answer them in artistic but concise way. You may try to learn fancy writing to draw notice, posters etc.

Maths .. Uhh too tough for me :( Tell me wether to do just the course book or Guide books as well..

Physics .. Never know anything about it :( Sounds like Greek to me ..

Chemistry .. Easy but just too much to learn, nevertheless can manage !! :D

Biology .. Too easy, never study anything, just read the book once and just do it!!

English .. Im a damn heavy scorer :D Never study the book NEVER.. just read it once when i bought it cuz i love the stories, n thats it... :D

any ideas how to improve on maths and physics?

for maths - TMH board exam series (its a thick book and all problems are solved in gradual gradation manner, its way better then R D sharma)

Physics - consider reading Resnik halliday or better version University Physics- young and freedman (these are costly but effective books, once u get the comcept u will complete the textbook in 2 days).

And remember to workout on numericals.

Am in last year of Engg:D Life is too busy now, i wish i could travel back to school:(

Getting marks in pre-board is easy and actual board is a different things, so dont take things easily unless u are well versed with subjects.

bikdel said:

Read any objective book and u will know how deep is Bio:))

A C Dutta - for botany (best book)
Stout and Green- cambridge university press - Zoology (nice book)

Text book of bio is nothing compared to the actual syllabus u hav to study for competitive exams.

Getting marks in pre-board is easy and actual board is a different things, so dont take things easily unless u are well versed with subjects.


i had the feeling that pre-boards are harder than boards, just for making students well versed, teachers tend to make it hard in my school :(
on the brighter side you get beter marks in boards :D

and thanks for all that.. will definitely go for halliday-resnick.. heard a lot but didnt care till date ...

My opinion :

You need a good teacher for biology and I mean real good.

Physics:H.C. Verma is good enough don't go for Resnick halliday instead go for university physics.

maths:I never had any idea about it.IMO try to grasp what is actually meant by all the theorems and all just don't mug up questions like an idiot(like I do).

well im really bad at mugging up.. so organic chem gives a bit of problem...
:(
Bio isnt a problem... maths and Physics are...I need a miracle to pass well in those subjects :(


anyways i wanted to go for halliday and resnick cuz i think no indian book meets the standard.. i already have Pradeep's Objective and Subjective volumes and am pissed off looking at it because nothing is PRIORITISED in it, read everything and get lost in the end..
the halliday books are more classified ;)

Nah didn't Cheat even Half a mark . Can proudly say that .

10th Was easy , n in ICSE u have like 3 days holiday before each exam , that gives you ample time to study if u really want to.

But i'm gonna study 3 months in 12th coz course is 10 times as much of 10th .

get Morrison Boyd, u will never ever cram organic reactions, but u hav to read it carefully.

My proficiency was
organic chemistry > physical chemistry > inorganic chemistry

I was able to derive any product from reactant within 2 mins. Btw organic chemistry is one of the most interesting one.

well we dont get calculators in exams :)
but then you are always bugged by those who never study ::angry:: though i am not much different :D

sometimes invigilators really don't do anything to the cheaters and you have to tackle them all by yourself... i feel it wierd to tell someone an answer, but i dont care if he/she sees it himself :D

@ ron ... where do you study?..i gave CBSE last year :))

i have three months left for ma 12th board and i dont know a single thing (coz i became mastikhor and wasted all ma time here and there ) but now i am ready to study with ma whole heart ...so what should you suggest ? i want to get excellent marks in 12th and pepare for competitive exams too ..i am ready to study 15 hrs daily coz am back in form of ma old days when i used to study a lot but left the right track because of bad contacts and non-study group friends .but now the bad groups have left now..they moved thier homes and am alone here.....

so how can u help me ...how shuould i prepare...i have joined "conquer cbse"
a crash course but some chapters have passed and finished already..they are :-

physics :- light and light/wave optics
chemistry:- solid state , solutions , chemical kinetics , electrochemistry
maths :- probabblity

so how do i make up these ?

and

for further topics and chapters i want to be excellent in them in competitive exams....
so what should i do extra other than the crash course....

do i have enough time (is 3 months enough ?)

Help would be much much appreciated.........
The_Devil_Himself
Nov 28, 2007 at 8:44 PM
3 months more than enough for CBSE(don't relax though),not even close to sufficient for medical entrance exams(they kick a&&),just not enough for engineering exams either(unless you're too smart and quick,and I say too smart then I mean really smart).

do physical chemistry for competitive exams-its easy and scoring(I loved it)

physics:wave optics isn't very tough you can easily make up for it.

maths-never had any idea about this suck@r,sorry.


BTW you're dead man ;)

yeah keep in mind that u should be able shoot two targets with single bullet.

Best is to study books that will clear ur concept and then textbooks will be a matter of few days to complete.
