Pro Tips from Top Scorers
Calculus carries 30-35% marks — master Integration techniques and Differential Equations first.
For Coordinate Geometry, always draw a rough figure before applying formulas.
Learn the AM-GM, Cauchy-Schwarz, and Triangle inequalities — they appear in unexpected places.
Probability + PnC together carry ~10% marks but are easy to score with formula mastery.
Create a "formula connection map" — how quadratic formula connects to discriminant, roots, and graph.
