12th grade… *gulp*
12th GRADE…. Need I say more??
I have hardly completed 3 months in 12th grade, that pressure is mounting up in all propotions! At least 3 tests are held in scool every week… And a test for an hour and a half every sunday followed by classes for 4 hours in coaching classes….
And don’t have misconceptions of any sort…. I go to this coaching centre on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday!!
I’ll just let you know some of the books I am expected to look into:
- Comprehensive chemistry- Grade 11 and 12
- Comprehensive physics- Grade 11 and 12
- Comprehensive Mathematics- Grade 11 and 12
- R.S Agarwal- Grade 11 and 12
- AIEEE maths
- AIEEE physics
- AIEEE chemistry
- O.P Agarwal- Organic chemistry
- R.K Mukerjee-Inorganic chemistry
- Exel with physical chemistry
- HCV part 1 and 2
- IIT Maths
- IIT physics
- IIT chemistry
- Some extra IIT books
- ACE assignments
- Brilliant- assignments
- And then, question papers set by a no. of schools in Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, Bombay….
- ACE question papers
And how could I forget??
- Pradeep’s biology- Grade 11 and 12
- CET papers in Biology
The irony is that, the ACE ( which is the coaching center) coordinator expects me to take borrow books from the library for the simple reason that he thinks I have the “capability” to do well “wonders”!! *Buh*
GOD, please save me….
P.S: I have forgotten to mention about the NCERT books…. they are supposedly “VERY IMPORTANT”
And read English.. to put yourself to bed!!

Wow, that sure is a lot of books. Your desk looks pretty much like mine, except that I had lesser books because I wasn’t very hopeful about them competition exams.
Good luck with everything. Better comment later maybe. I get tongue tied..or rather finger tied when it comes to studying. I’m not a big fan of these books, you know.
June 9, 2008 at 2:30 pm
hmm…lol,i am very happy to be in commerce
…what do we get out of all this anyway?
June 10, 2008 at 6:01 am

good luck.
June 10, 2008 at 12:07 pm
Don’t remind me of all thesee so sooooooooon
sigh
I’ll be dead by the end of next May.
June 10, 2008 at 1:38 pm
Ditto (Priya)…only difference, She atleast has hopes of living through till next may!
June 10, 2008 at 4:22 pm
Hi,
God save you from all these troubles very soon!!!!!!!!!!.
June 11, 2008 at 2:12 pm
I understand!
Sorry to say, but it only gets worse my dear!
I’m sooo glad I’m done with 12th grade!
P.S: You’ve been tagged! Do it only if you like to.
June 13, 2008 at 10:59 am
That’s sad….I’m glad I’m in commerce too!!….
Those books are a major reason for my not taking science…and chemistry…I HATE chemistry….sorry if ne1 else likes it but I think it’s the worst subject ever…
June 13, 2008 at 2:03 pm
Ok… Let me first apologise to you all!!
I am allowed permission to visit my blog ONLY on weekends!! Apparently I get really hooked on to it… and it is ‘affecting’ my studies!! *buh*
This should explain the delay in replying to the comments, shouldn’t it?
@Ish
I just hope that my shelf doesn’t come crashing down because of the weight of these books… My, my all of them sure do weigh a ton!!
Get finger tied when you ‘look’ at these books, eh?
Just imagine sitting in front of them and attempting to study the content..
Zzzzzzzzzzzz….. *sweet dreams*
@vishesh
Happy to be in commerce?? Really? Don’t you have economics? Thats like studying physics chemistry and math all under one tag…
You know, economics is something I could never do!!
And I don’t even think I know the ABC’s of Accounts….
But yeah, its a matter of percpective!!
I like science and you like commerce… So there!!
But 12th’s still horrible!!
@Xylene
Talk about the syllabus… It is extremely vast and voluminous!!
And plus taechers go so fast that it is difficult for you to follow!
So, that is the state of us 12th graders, especially in our schoo!!
BTW, thatnks fr the wishes!!
June 13, 2008 at 2:32 pm
@priya
Oh, yeah… talk about being dead by may!!
Let me see if I survive till January…
And I am just listing out the books that I am expected to study from… Dont know if I have finished even one chapter thoroughly form any one of the books..
@appa
Yeah, thank you!!
@sindhu
You don’t talk, alright!! Nerd!!
You’ll get 90% and then talk from ear to ear.. *buh*
@niveditha
This definitely seems the worst now!! But my aunt keeps saying that you’ll get into the groove once you slog this year….
That should be true.. Better be!!
I’ll take a look at the tag and decide..
@ Kaddu
Economics is worse than chemistry acoording to me!!
Chemistry isn’t all that bad, in my books!! But yeah, as I said… it’s all a matter of personal choice…
June 15, 2008 at 6:29 am
lol eco is real easy…:)
June 15, 2008 at 12:33 pm
Yeah?? I struggled to finish basic economics in grade 10!!
Our teacher made eco hell for us… And now you have macro,micro, stats… Sheesh!!
*uf*
Don’t know how I scrapped a 90+ in socials in 10th.. Probably the guy who corrected my paper was fed really well by his wife!! LOL
June 15, 2008 at 12:59 pm
whoa..!!!
thats lot of books…i dint read more than 3 boooks out of these…
that much i had been during my 12th…and not to mention that i never attended any coaching classes too…enjoyed my 12th like anything… then found myself in no mans land
anyways best of luck..
June 15, 2008 at 4:21 pm
@ arvind
Hmmm… these books just occupy space!! I have absolutely no idea as to when I’ll find time to look through them!
We all want to enjoy 12th too… But, well…
To say the least, we can’t!
I need all the luck.. Thank you!!
June 15, 2008 at 6:21 pm
just noticed my name in ur blogroll..
thanks
June 16, 2008 at 4:39 am
Phew..! I was tired in reading that list of books. How can you manage that… Gosh! Pity you people..
June 16, 2008 at 4:42 pm
Oh Lord!! You kids take things way too seriously. Take a chill pill.
June 16, 2008 at 4:43 pm
ya…eco is quiet gud….I plan 2 make a career of it, u kno…so yeah, it’s purely a matter of personal choice
June 17, 2008 at 2:49 pm
@ arvind
Hey, you’re most welcome!!
@ joel
Hmmm… I don’t manage it that well actually!!I’ve hardly gone throught 5 books fully..
These are the books I am expected to go through!!
But yeah, At least I can say that there is still a LOT of time until I write the various exams….
@amit
Actually, I fall into a completely different category… I have to be pushed to study! And I seem to take a chill pill most of the time!!
So, there…
@kaddu
Yeah… ditto!!
Me wanting to study eco would be like you wanting to study chem….
Will that ever happen?? I think not!
June 18, 2008 at 3:51 pm
So, u decided 2 delete my comment abt Vaikunt? dats ur reply?
June 19, 2008 at 2:39 pm
Kaddu, you git!!
You’ve commented on the I am me page…. I did not delete that comment of yours, brightspark!!
June 20, 2008 at 12:21 pm
oops….sorry…:)
June 20, 2008 at 3:08 pm
No way… I am not accepting your apology, after you’ve committed such a huge blunder!! How could you, Kadambari??
June 22, 2008 at 2:01 pm
I don’t think any of us can make it through this year. Just into 12th and already so tired!! Assignments never end. There’s a test every other day. Man, this is worse than I thought
June 24, 2008 at 12:18 pm
Well, I second your opinion!!
They seem to be rushing as though our boards is next week!!
*buh*
June 25, 2008 at 10:26 am
n dont believe anyone when they say”work hard this year and next 4 years aarama ” nooo ! we r still suffering
June 25, 2008 at 11:11 am
hhhhmmmmm……..very big burden on your head…
This is the last time you are going to read all that stufff………once you cross this stage there is a very big world outside……………you are going to enjoy a lot…….so try getting into a good college…….
June 25, 2008 at 12:21 pm
@ Meg
*Buh* Especially our ACE lecturers!! They decide to just pile stuff on us!! There’s this one guy who asked me the names of the books i refer…
I think I almost said the whole list of books I possessed, thank to this post!!
( I actually thought he would consider me all hard working and all)
But the guy just said “Hmmm….. No OP Tandon, ma?”
Stupid fellow!!
And about getting aaram for the next 4 year….
Well, please tell me its better than grade 12!! You’ll be blessed….
*saintly expression*
( And pls dont mind me calling you Meg… It sounds better than addressing you as megcloud9!!)
@aravind
God bless you fro what you said!!
Its very much in contrast to what Meg has written ( above you)
But, maybe its a matter of getting into the groove!! And also, its opting a subject you really like for many ppl?? Ain’t I right??? Meg??
June 25, 2008 at 1:25 pm
@ megha
enjoying in college depends on the college u choose..most engineering colleges are strict… i was fortunate enough to study in a college where no ,much pressure was put up by the admin..
we enjoyed to the core..
June 26, 2008 at 12:03 pm
@ arvind
Thats very nice to hear!!
July 2, 2008 at 6:10 am
@meg
I think u didn’t work hard in that year dats why workin hard now…………
July 2, 2008 at 3:31 pm
Hmmm..my my!!
What a thing to say…
*rolls eyes*
July 5, 2008 at 6:54 pm
lol
of course u can say Meg ! 
OP Tandon is for Chemistry is it ? i remember there was this thick book for Organic Chem,never read even a single page
An aunt once told my mom,she cant even lift these books,how will she study em
And next 4 years,hmmm,if u can sail thru +2,u can sail thru next few years also
sounds better ?!
July 6, 2008 at 11:57 am
@ meg
My cousins do weightlifting with these FAT books!! Kinda use them as dumb-bells!!
I don’t know whether i can ’sail’ through 12th… but I now have an incentive… So….
July 11, 2008 at 8:39 am
I feel nostalgic. Now, I have no idea how I got through 12th. Man those were the days. Go to college, Mug. Go to coaching class, mug. Come home, well Mug again.
Hope you get through it as fast as possible. 12th holidays are divine. Enjoy it to the fullest
July 13, 2008 at 12:37 pm
@ arjun
Ah,This is exactly waht I am doing now!!
Mugging all the way and vomiting all the stuff I mug onto an answer script..
*straight face*
Can’t wait for grade 12 to get over!
I am flying off to New Zealand after my exams!!
Ok, maybe even go skydiving..
July 17, 2008 at 6:04 pm
hi. u preparing for iit-jee?? I am studying for jee too.
btw, nice writing. adding to my blogroll.
July 18, 2008 at 3:29 pm
@ Hasit
I am forced into ‘preparing’ for the JEE….
It’d be a miracle if I got through though!!
Best of luck with all your preparation!!
July 23, 2008 at 9:29 am
enjoy !!! hi hi hi
I will start my pg soon .. part time…. no classes
July 25, 2008 at 4:05 pm
@ Dinu
My time will come soon enough!!
You enjoy your classes….
July 25, 2008 at 7:05 pm
From that list of books you are supposed to study, I’m guessing that you are from NPS and preparing for IIT…I can relate to the anxiety and the pressure of doing well, that gets entrusted upon everyone in 12th, especially those preparing for IIT and other competitive exams…I used to have an 8 to 10 schedule in 12th, going from my school (Cottons) to BASE (another tuition centre), not to forget, the grueling tests every sunday… by the time it was weekend, there was literally no energy left in me
…but don’t worry….this one year will pass by much faster than you think…just believe in yourself and keep others’ expectations aside while you are studying…i agree with meg…the next 4 years will just sail through…cant believe I’m already in final year now 
..All the best! 
July 26, 2008 at 7:11 am
@ Nick
Well I know of BASE… Another moronical centre which absoluteely kills you!
But all’s for good!! I hope to get through into a good university… And then probably I can catch up on the little bit of fun I have to give up this year..
I am in Kumarans…
Expains a lot, doesn’t it?
October 29, 2008 at 12:05 pm
books books books…….and that too comprising both of maths and biology…….pheww…..you got some load there…..
btw….blog rolled you…..
October 29, 2008 at 3:43 pm
@ Harsh
Thanks mate!!
Don’t seem to be opening too many of them though!
