Transcripts
hello namaskaram first let me
congratulate each one of you and also
thank you for being part of the study
with sudhir journey tomorrow that's the
2nd of October we will complete five
years of the YouTube channel study with
sudhir so thank you and congratulations
now
roii return on investment let me today
tell you one more new term the business
end now if I have to take an example
from let's say cricket uh the last few
matches of the World Cup which decide
who go gets into the quarterfinals or
who gets into the semi-finals that's
called the business end or the last few
matches of the IPL AG May context it
would mean the last few weeks before
your board examination starts so in your
context your business end will actually
start from sometime 15th or let's say
the 20th of December but in my opinion
the business end is really a rush period
um any intelligent person will actually
make use of the period before the
business end actually starts then that's
what makes the months of October and
November very very critical for each one
of you so listen to this video till the
end because I'm going to talk about the
October plan now technically speaking uh
half your academic year is over h
April September half the academic
year now if you are the kind of person
who has taken it easy so far now is the
time for each one of you to get serious
whether you are a class 10 student or a
Class 12 student board exams it is time
to do a
kyc kyc kyc in your case would be
knowing your curriculum syus
reference book reference
books etc etc so why is October so
important it's a great month in my
opinion because is May
C most schools give 10 days holidays for
the some even up to two weeks um Diwali
is on November 1 which means the days
preceding Diwali October so it makes the
month of October this time completely a
festival month it's also a great month
because if you want to make good use of
the time away from school
school there is no better time than
October 2024 because many schools will
conduct the first pre-board examination
in the second half of November some in
the first half of December so it makes
sense to make good use of October so
that you are better prepared when the
business end is about to start so how
are you going to make use of October is
what I'm going to talk about in this
video in any case Vijay dashmi uh
according to the Hindu calendar is
considered the best time to make a good
start a fresh beginning okay to guard so
I will tell you some basic things which
are really strongly advise each one of
you to
do study space

you can have plants like this one like
the Jade or any of the plants which will
give you some kind of fresh energy to

garden you need to have the right kind
of atmosphere okay

about watch watching YouTube videos or
videos on study with sud I'm talking

half hours okay so you can accordingly
schedule that divide these four hours
and in the case of Class 12 uh divide
these six six and a half hours into one
hour in the case of Class 10 and one and
a half hours in the case of Class 12

slots in the day assuming
that
okay have one slot preferably in the
morning I like getting up in the morning
today I got up at
3:30 uh and I started working because I
got up at 3:10 I decided whether to get
up or not then I
thought uh so um
do 1 hour in the morning 1 hour between
breakfast and lunch but if you are the
kind who cannot get up in the morning
then do two hours between breakfast and
lunch with a half an hour break in
between then do one hour in the late
afternoon post lunch and you do one hour
in the evening between I mean before
dinner okay and then you can have an
early this thing these 4 hours are
purely for study during this time your
mobile phone should not be in your room
your laptop should not be in your room
you should have only your books and your
notes to study from you are studying you
are not looking at any videos you're not
listening to anyone else you're not
doing joint study it is you and your
books please remember this four slots of
one hour each for class 10 I repeat and
one and a half hours each for class 11

doubts ask me on the chat box there okay
of the group um now within the one hour
you may
ask first of all you target what you
have to study a particular lesson lesson
or part of a particular longest lesson
decide ensure that the last 10 minutes
are kept for revision of what you have
studied in the previous 50
minutes that is very important and and
focus on understanding the
topic whether it is a physics concept
whether it's chemistry or geography or
any
subject that should be the focus and in
the last 10 minutes revision and any

electricity prositions
practice take some test of prepositions
and do prepositions from there so please
test it you could even there are a whole
lot of videos on YouTube you could do it
according to that also so just there's a
whole lot of material free material on
YouTube and uh the paid at reasonable
fee on the App please make use of both
the ISC grammar test and the ICC grammar
test are of high quality and I've been
getting feedback from students who
already purchased that and that makes me
feel good because I put the bar here you
know
many a then you feel stumped no my idea
is to prepare you for a tough paper that
is my idea let me make it very clear now
you may
say morning time in my opinion you
should study a subject like physics when
your mind is fresh okay put cold water
on your face and then sit you know so
that your mind is alert physics morning
may uh afternoon time may study math so
that because when you solving you will
not feel sleepy morning time between
breakfast and uh lunch study subjects
like history Civics and geography
because you won't feel sleepy at that
time even evening time you can do
chemistry or biology you can rotate it
like Monday four subjects Tuesday
another four subjects Wednesday the same
four subjects you can alternate it or
you can say Monday Tuesday Wednesday
subjects Thursday Friday Saturday
another four subjects I'll St entirely
up to you see what works for you okay
then get hold of quality question papers
you know don't test yourself on very
simple ones I mean I I I've been kind of
disappointed to see the kind of quality
of some of the samples papers which are
available in the market uh and uh the
good news for you and not it's a very
tiring news this thing I've started
preparing uh the I am going to do a
question bank for icsc class 10
literature because I really
thought you need my help there so I am
going to prepare I have just started
doing that's what I was doing at 3:30
this morning uh I started working on the
mcqs I've did done the mcqs for two
chapters so that I will put it on the
app because I want you to be prepared
because you need much more comprehensive
material than what is available in
different uh books okay so that
hopefully will be available sometime in
November okay history Civics and
geography courses are there test papers
but if you want only test
papers okay and I can tell you that our
history Civic geography courses are very
good I'm telling you from the experience
of the previous batches it's entirely up
to you okay my only thing is that if you
are doing it do it for both so that your
entire social science marks are together
you do only history Civics geography
other way around then on one you get
high marks the other then the entire
purpose gets defeated that's my uh
limited point then U the other point
which I want to tell you is that when
you're doing this tests please ensure
because
test okay
the next test you don't repeat the same
mistake so that is something the
analysis of your test the sample paper
test the mock test is very important so
please do that the grammar test again
again something like this becomes
extremely important uh so please uh do
that okay the S SWS grammar test is
something which I strongly recommend um
SS I have been I have talked enough
about my only thing is that you know I
don't want to repeat like last year
where students wanted to buy wa in
January end and by the time we had run
out of stock and the time was too short
for us to print another uh copy so if
you are wanting to this thing don't wait
till the end there will be no difference
in price nothing of the sort
discount I want more and more students
to get benefited from the book that's my
only intention so just get that uh if
you want an idea about what is there in
the book please see the four videos that
I've done where I read out essays from
the book so that you get an idea just
type argumentative essay on the channel
search bar you'll get it narrative
descriptive picture composition you will
get all that over there okay so that is
something so don't delay if you're
planning to buy is all I would say um
pcmb I do recommend oswal books I
recommend the question Banks very
strongly in fact I what I will do what I
plan to do is to do strategy videos for
each of these subjects is competency
Focus questions say
Computer
Applications so I will do all that and
tell you exactly what should be your
road map in the next what five months
five to six months I mean February thir
we exam so this is your October plan
this is your October plan November 1
because as I said make good use of the
holidays you

a more Grand way this year is an
