Ashish

Hello everyone!

I am a student of Class 12 and I believe (and so does everyone around me) that I am in a miserable state of affairs in my academics.

This is my score-sheet in my half-yearly exams.

Maths - 29/100 F
Chem - 34/70
Phy - 22/70 F
Eng - 89/100 (not bad, huh!)
Hindi - 89/100 (not that bad either!)

It's not that I have been this bad all through my life. I scored 90.0 % in 10th board CBSE and 76% in Class 11 (CBSE).

But as you can see, things are pretty different now. My parents expect me to touch the 90 mark again. If only I could get my PCM up to the mark, that could become a possibility.

Everything seems so tough now. I feel like I am the dumbest person on Earth. I can't seem to understand even the simplest of concepts.

I admit to have wasted time uptil now, but that was because I have been in a state of depression since the beginning of Class 11. Now, I am ready to work as hard as I humanly can, but nothing seems to be going right.

The Pre-boards are around the corner and I am already suffering from excessive anxiety and sleepless nights made even worse by nightmares about my failing in the Board exams when I do manage to doze off. All this is making matters worse as I am not able to focus on my studies.

I am no position to even think about taking competitive exams. I just want to pass the Board exams with good ( and my idea of 'good' has gone down several notches along with my self-esteem) marks.

Do you think I have enough time to turn things around?

I haven't learned properly even a single topic of Maths so far. When I take up Calculus to study, I begin to wonder how outstandingly brilliant my previously dumb classmates have become as I can't seem to make head or tail out of it. I feel so terrible when can't get through even the first exercise of any chapter.

I do not think I have time enough to do voluminous books like RD Sharma or RS Aggarwal. I have heard that NCERT Maths textbook is good enough for Boards. If I complete each and every topic from the NCERT textbook, would I be able to fare well in the exams; or is it necessary to refer to books like RD Sharma or RS Aggarwal? At the moment, only the NCERT textbook seems like doable for me. But the question is: is it good enough?

Please help! You know how desperate I am!
