For my O1 gng (advice I'll really give as an o2 student)
Hey there πππ€
As an o2 student who's gonna give their exams this m/j 2026 and is COOKED AF, I want to give all the o1 walay some advice. While you're in o1, some seniors are gonna tell you ke "bhai, o1 mai parhai ka koi faida nahi" or "o1 mai masti karo phir baad mai ja kar parhna". And it is VERY IMPORTANT you do NOT listen to these seniors warna tumhari aadatein meri tarah kharab ho jayein gi and you won't be able to study in o2.
I would like to emphasize very much ke in o levels, you shouldn't have the concept of "overnight studying" please work hard since the beginning. If you're able to cover a chapter from scratch in one night, bhai tum alag makhluq ho.
No, don't listen to people jo boltay hai ke 2 months mai ho jayegi tayari sari. Don't. Tayari ho to jaye gi magar kaisi tayari hogi aur stress aur burnout ke saath hogi, is ka in logon ko nahi batatay.
I don't mean ke you start full on GRINDING, lekin please just focus in your classes and start adopting good study habits e.g. writing your own notes productively instead of copying the same shit, reading through the textbook when your homie is absent in a free class, waghera.
If your school has trash teachers, try going go seniors, try going to better teachers, figure out if you'll need tution in o2 or not, and understand level marking shit π
I know this all sounds very lame kyunke you have a whole ahh year left lekin trust me on this one, please study good and THEN LOCK TF IN in tenth adn then aram aram se karte raho.
Also, lowkey, sciences mai sara samajhne ka kaam hai tou agar you're appearing for pst and isl and know ke tumhari memorization weak hai, tou start studying and focusing on those two subjects kyunke they'll be your first ever CIE subjects you're appearing for so bear yourself the trauma you'll be getting in o2.
And basss, duaon mai yaad rakhna πππ Good luck o1 walay and dont stress out broskis
