Anxious about not going to offline coaching

JEE :snoo:

So I'm in grade 11th and I'm following the arjuna pw batch. And I ONLY wanna give jee mains. Now my school partnered with different coaching or smt so every stream has competitive exam material. For pcm they gave is resonance mains focused material and im very thankful for it.

Now the thing is I have some backlog because the batch started late and my school started mid March so I already was done with ch1 when the batch started. And my school was giving out tests and pw was going super slow for me so I did the chapters from khazana to prepare for school uts. Now when I looked back, there was so much backlog that I gradually completed. O guess now I only have 3 chapters left that I'll complete with no issue

Now the real problem comes, I have this super smart friend who's going to Allen and she talks abt coaching so much that it has made me insecure because right now I'm not giving percentile mock tests, I'm obviously testing myself but I'm not aware of my rank, I'll buy a test series in 12th but I didn't find it important in 11th. Now my friend has made me believe that Allen is so necessary for jee and test series are important for 11th that i feel like I'm in a sinking boat. My friend is preparing for jee advance and the only hope I'm getting is from my classmates who are also following pw. And this one girl, she's the director's daughter, she's going to school and managing pw. She's super smart and amazing. So just because of her, I'm starting to believe that I can do it without Allen. But I have this habit of self sabotaging and whenever I'm relaxed, my mind immediately finds smt to stress about and right now it's the test series and Allen thing. Also a little detail that I'm gonna test myself with jee mains pyq (exercise 3 in those modules) and time myself. But my friend keeps saying that it's the worst way to test yourself and I'll fall behind if I don't get a test series. I literally just need some validation or justification that I can still do it because my friend is making me doubt my entire life right now. I love her but I want her to stop pushing her agenda on me. Especially because I did go to offline tuitions and I hated it every single time and left, so deep down I know that offline coaching style isn't for me. But I think everyone has felt this FOMO related to Eliet brands And my friend, I don't wanna say it, but she does this thing when she'd subtly give me weird statistics of how many selections Allen does and how Allen is necessary for jee. Maybe she doesn't do this intentionally but it is kinda toxic
