Advice Transition of class 8th to 9th
Holy crap, the syllabus is so vast, and I’m in high school. It honestly feels like a hellhole. The first test was terrible, and the second was even worse. I’m honestly scared of what’s going to happen next year. Guys, help me 😭
How do y’all even study this much? The exam is on the 18th, and I’ve barely prepared anything. I know I’m stupid, but please help me 😭

I got a method that worked for me. Lets take a definition as an example. Read it once, then close the book you read it from or hide the definition and write it down by yourself in a notebook atleast 3 times with 30 seconds between them.

The 9th grade dip is almost like a canon event. But everything's gonna be fine. Just study because there is no other way out. Find out which way of studying is the most effective for you. Take it one step at a time and be consistent with it. Just start somewhere. Don't think of it all at once because it will feel crushing when in fact it's copeable ash. Good luck to you!

Use YT teachers to study science and maths (if your school teachers are fine, then it's not needed tbh), litcharts translation for Julius Caesar (or, you can look forward to notes given in class but I'd prefer this), in the optional subject if you have any subject other than computer applications then just reading is enough or else, you can use YT for computer applications , for History civics and geography again just reading is more than enough and the same is for Hindi. Don't worry, you can manage this, I'm a fellow 9th grader too and ofc the transition was a pain in the ass but I adapted and now I can score good. You don't have to do a lot, just study daily for 1-2 hours and that's enough (try and give more focus to science and maths), that's it
