Topics That Appear Every Year
Study Strategy for 90+
Split the syllabus into 3 parts: Physical (chapters 1–5), Inorganic (6–9), Organic (10–14). Prepare each separately
Physical Chemistry is calculation-heavy — practice 5 numericals per chapter minimum
Inorganic requires pure memorization — make a one-page summary per chapter of reactions and properties
Organic reactions: learn the mechanism, not just the product. CBSE often asks 'why' and 'how'
Do 2 full mock papers under timed conditions. AI evaluation catches keyword errors in naming and mechanism writing
