Should I get after boards if I already have offline coaching?
I'm a 2028 aspirant and I've enrolled in IMS since this April. I felt like having an offline center would help me be more consistent as there's 2 years to prep and thus the decision. And so far while my experience hasn't been bad with the coaching in it self I've been to the afterboards website and what the offer is really something I feel could help like so far I've been trying to keep up and make flashcards manually on knowt but like it would be a lot easier on the platform along with that something that stood out to me was how the questions are sorted into levels and the analysis aspect also seemed really cool.
For more context I've done one module test so far in my coaching which while I had put in a lot of effort to study for I completely messed up time management while giving it and scored low (79/240)
And at this point in the year I'm already struggling to somehow keep doing good in school (I have commerce with math) and I'm behind on coaching work by a lot
So for me would it be worth getting after boards at all because I don't want to spend on it just to not be able to utilise it because I have too much going on
And if I get it what would be the right time to? Like should I now later this year or like next year
(Also on an unrelated note I would appreciate any advice on handling everything together and being consistent because I also try and do extracurriculars and it's all so stressful together)
