Mistakes I made in my JEE journey (Padh lo bhai scroll hi to kr rhe ho)

Hello bachcho, main is subreddit pr usually lurk krta tha and now that im almost done with 12th, I think mera jee clear nhi hoga. I worked hard but not smart and this was probably my mistakes.

Pics of my class 12th notebooks (Around 2500 pages of notes and question practice)

My failures were:

1. Focusing on hard chapters for the thrill of it: Rotation, integral calculus, wagera ke acche question ho jane pr bhot khushi milti hai but please dont dedicate a lot of time to those chapter. Maine probably 3 mahine sirf integration kiya hai and i regret it. Is chakkar mein vectors and 3D geometry (very easy chapters comparatively). Focus on high weightage and easy chapters first.
2. Practice hard questions: Jab tumhe lage ki tumse for eg. level 1/ school level questions of your modules/books ho ja rhe to fir move to the next level. Dont be scared of high level questions and dont repeatedly solve easy questions. Agar nhi ho rha hai to look at the solution and tick mark the question. Starting mein bhot errors honge (jab main blackbook/sbt krta tha, i got 60-80% questions wrong). Dont be disheartened. Physics mein try to move up to irodov (ik bhot hyped hai but it is seriously a good book you should try it agar time hai) or sbt.
3. Studying too much math and neglecting chemistry: Maine bhot maths kiya hai , cengage, blackbook, aakash modules etc. Lekin is chakkar mein chemistry bilkul nhi kiya which is the most scoring part of jee.

4)Maintaining an error log: Koi bhi question galat ho jaye to fir usko tick krdo and write the question and the gist of the answer and the error that youve made in this question (only conceptual errors, calculation errors ya silly mistakes count mt krna as it will just bloat the copy). Go through this error log once in a while and dekhna tumse questions bnne lg jayenge.

5. Mock tests: Maine almost no mock tests diye hai. Mock tests are really important for building speed, pattern recognize krna and frequency of question types. Kuch questions are very frequent and some are really rare. Uske hisab se pattern build ho jata hai dimag mein kaunsa revise krna zyada important hai.

6. Not joining an institution: This might be a bit controversial lekin I would suggest if you can afford it, join a coaching institute (koi reputed institute join krna if possible like allen, aakash etc.) Blindly follow your teachers. Ego pr mt lena kuch bhi (formulae yaad kr lena, charts wagera yaad krna, dont spend much time on some questions etc.)

7. Social media and internet: Delete krdo yaar instagram aur reddit too (ts toxic asf) kuch nhi hoga isse.

8. Be consistent everyday and try to build the habit of sitting for a long time, start with 4-5 hrs then gradually increase the time. Don't try to sit for 8 hrs from the get go as you become restless and fatigued because of overworking your body. Breaks lena regularly kyuki burnout reduces efficiency and trust me, meko bhot baar burnout hua hai.

I have worked hard , toiled for hrs and i can assure you, tumhe utni mahnat krne ki zarurat nhi hai. Jee is an easy journey with a good routine and good habits. Okay main to drop lene ja rha. Goodluck my juniors. Kash tum logo ka iit nikl jaye.
