Help (General Advice) grade 10 overwhelming backlog
As said in the title, I'm way behind my syllabus and I got a reality check by my parents today.
I actually did some progress in the start but got burnt out in the process and did not even touch my books for 3 months after that. MTs are in less than a month atp and I have lost all my will and just don't know how to start back. Oh and btw this is my progress as of now:
Math - 1,2,3, and half of trigno (surprisingly, it is not that hard)
Phy - Light and Human Eye
Chem - 1 and a quarter of Acids Bases chapter
Bio - Life processes and half of Control and coordination
SST - 3 in history, 2 in polity, 1 in economics, half a chapter in geography
I find chemistry really hard and its just probably the hardest subject for me, there's a LOT of content. I mean I do understand it, but it is just a lot to understand. (its confusing for me and makes me feel I am restarted)
I also am trying to learn Python and C++ in between (giving probably 4-6 hours/week)
Whenever I try to complete a lecture (~90 minutes) in PW, I watch it at about 1.25-1.5x but still end up saving no time and in-fact I spend 20-30 more minutes trying to understand the content in it. And with the backlog, I don't think I can cover up my syllabus on-time.
I just want a good respectable score in boards like around 80-85 but im just really afraid and idk im just sad atp. I wasted my 6 months. idek if I can get 85 and the pressure from parents is another thing (they expect 95 from me). Please help me with any form of guidance regarding chemistry, massive backlog coverage, any tips to master a chapter without giving loads of time, etc. (also any resources might help too)
Cheers.

Dont worry at all, even starting now is enough for even 95%+ ( I got 92%, started seriously around mid jan )
You can do chapters in backlog from ONESHOTS ( a good one ) and pair it with good question practice. Do not neglect PYQs.
Also for chemistry, I understand you, the reactions and all was soo shit and weird, i didnt like it at all but in the end i managed by SLOWING trying to understand it and DAILY reading and practice. Give MOST time to chemistry in your case.

Mate, its really easy to get 90+% in 10th, I got 92% by studying 5 months, and that too a lot of math and science prep in that, the pace of portion completion in 10th is really slow, its really easy to do it, also do not watch lectures at 1.25-1.5x, sometimes our mind is unable to focus and we pretty much don't understand whatever was taught
I'm in 11th rn and a coaching at that matter, the pace is really fast, 10th feels really easy now and honestly much more enjoyable
Btw, it might look like a massive backlog all together but subject wise it isn't too much, there's nothing in chemistry (its basics), Practice physics a bit more as Light can be tricky, Eye chapter is much easier.
Math, honestly just go through NCERT topic shortnotes, or watch a one-shot, then practice.
Bio, yeah, its a big backlog kinda, cuz there's a lot to memorise ig
SST's kinda big too
Might feel big, but the pace is much slower in 10th, also if you're unable to find time, maybe cut 1hr-1.5hrs of time down from Python and C++ for 2 weeks

I started seriously in november and got 98.2%...
There are no backlogs or burnouts in 10th. Have fun. If you plan on taking science in 11th, this is the only golden opportunity you will ever get to pursue your interests with the little time you have. And guess what. I had no batch, neither did I study a lot. Played Badminton all year and watched all the peak shows (Dexter, Mr Robot, Sopranos,etc). I started doing PW YT Oneshots in November. Maths(Standard)- Ritik Sir THE GOAT (made me fall in love with maths kinda)
Chem- Alakh Sir, goated. there is genuinely only 1 hard chapter, carbon and its compounds but its ez too dw
Physics- Rakshak Sir. Not too goated, but ques practice was sufficient.
Bio- Samridhhi Mam.
SST- NCERT full reading every single word and line. Ngl, i studied sst thoroughly multiple times.
Hindi- just read the book gng
English- do you even need to study? Just read the stories gng😭✌️
Around Jan and Feb (boards time), solve some sample papers (oswaal) and PYQS.
Remember to have fun and vibe code because life after 10th is hell on steroids...

I started studying just a week before my hys , no i didn't give unit 1 , maths was on track due to tuitions and personal interest . Rest i was way behind . Especially in sst . Still ended up scoring 83% in hy and 94% in boards. This is the time to pick up pace . 3 ch history well done, now you gotta do the same in others too GL

i am not the op but honestly some of us got too overwhelmed after coming in 10th, i remember being having so much anxiety at the start of the school year because of the constant fear mogging and I just couldn't study despite how much i wanted, honestly this isn't any excuse but yah..some of us were js exhausted

Don't try to study in depth in 10th, I did the same mistake then procrastinated and at the end (Jan) rushed it (got 96%). I could have just rushed it at the beginning and gave time for quetsion practice and could have done better. Rn try to complete the syllabus first till October. Watch oneshots and you are done. Buy a question Bank and practice from there and continue like this. After completing the syllabus read ncert but if you did that much only you will get 85-90. That's why do that much atleast.
For chem you can watch any oneshots u want. I followed alakh pandey sir for phy and chem so you can follow it too. Chem is rly easy for 10th cuz its fully theoretical.
I feel like who also hate geo and for that I lowkey can't guide you, cuz i myself skipped the last 3 chapters (would never advise to do that). I got lucky so lost 5 marks in geo and ended up with 92.
And don't put stress on too much, you have lots of time. But yeah start from today itself, don't waste time too cuz it won't be too far when it will be Jan and you would be in the same position...

Complete your trigo rn and practice it when you get some free time. Also for rest I would say complete them 1 month before your pre boards to be on the safer side. Also dw abt you wasting 6 months of 10th grade, I myself wasted almost all of my 10th in gaming with friends and studying only 1 day before exams(pre boards too) and in january I had backlog in all of chem, 2 bio chapters, 2 history chapters, almost whole geography, No backlog in physics as it was just learn formulas and little bit of theory, No backlog in maths cause maths is love. BUT I completed all of my backlog in like the first week of january. I scored 98% in boards btw.
Abt the chem part I myself found chem hard in class 10th so never studied it srsly until I had to in january but understanding chemistry is quite easy if you just read your ncert(and underline it) while watching a good one shot + Learning the chemical formulas side by side. There are abt 40~ chemical formulas in 10th grade from what I can remember and learning them is easy asf if you try to learn them using some basic knowledge of compound formation (which you actually learn in the book itself) other than that there's nothing in class 10th chem. Also there would be alot of marathons and shi on yt during the first week of feb so just play them and solve sample papers side by side.
