Mathematics is the subject students fear the most - be it 9th, 10th or 11th. Usually, it is fear that makes mathematics a complex subject for students.
For some, it is as easy as playing a game; for some, everything else is easier than math.
When it comes to the science stream, many students believe that 11th-class math is tricky.
But is it really difficult or just a misconception? Know in this article.
How to score good marks in class 11 PCM?
A lot of things change in 11th grade. Now, you deal with complex concepts and questions. You should not take 11th class for granted because all the 11th class topics prepare you for your higher classes, including college.
Whether mathematics, chemistry or physics, class 11th is full of surprises regarding the syllabus and topics. That is also one of the reasons students find 11th-class math difficult, even physics, for that matter.
However, scoring good marks in class 11 PCM is much easier than you think. But that should not be your goal; the goal must be to learn and understand all the topics of class 11th.
11th-class topics are crucial because they help you in competitive exams like IIT JEE, NDA, NEET etc.
Tips to follow to score good marks in PCM
- Solve more and more questions in math and physics, at least 20 questions for each.
- Focus more on understanding concepts
- Read chemistry chapters daily.
- Ready biology chapters daily as it is more theory-based.
- Make notes, especially for theory-based subjects.
Is physics hard in class 11?
Physics in class 11th or in general is relatively harder than math or chemistry. It is because math mostly has the numerical part, and chemistry mainly has the theory part, while physics has two parts: understanding the subject conceptually and then its applications part. Both are very important, and it takes time to learn them.
Students who are good in physics can easily crack IIT-JEE because most students lag in physics only.
Preparation tips for class 11 Physics:
- Read the Class 11 Physics textbook thoroughly. Understand the chapters and concepts clearly without skipping anything.
- Refer to some reference books for physics.
- Make notes of important topics or concepts, formulas and equations.
- Solve the practice question at the end of every chapter.
Is class 11 biology tough?
Students mostly find Biology easier than other subjects, and it is a subject where almost every student scores well. It is a theory-based subject, and students need to remember a lot of material.
Preparation Tips for Class 11 Biology
- Read all concepts in detail from NCERT Class 11 Biology book.
- Keep handy notes of all important topics so that you can refer to them when you want to.
- Please do not take it for granted, as it is a theory-based subject.
Is class 11 math tough?
If you are someone who wants to study engineering, math is an important subject you must prepare well for. It requires one to remember a lot of formulas.
Preparation Tips for Class 11 Math
- First of all, remember all the formulas chapter-wise.
- Please go through the solved problems to understand the steps to solve them. For reference, you can use R D Sharma.
- Solve the miscellaneous questions at the end of the chapters. In mathematics, the more you practice, the better you get.
Class 11th or 12th students can join Takshila Coaching Institute and appear in Online Test Series, similar to the JEE/NEET pattern. It will help you score high in NEET/JEE and get admission to your dream college.
FAQs
- 1. How much percentage is required to take science in 11th?
No fixed percentage criteria are required in class X for having the combination of PCM or PCB; it differs from school to school. However, a minimum of 60% or above increases the chances of getting your preferred subject - Math or Biology.
- Which stream is hard in the 11th class - PCB or PCM?
If you are more interested in Biology, then you will find PCM, i.e. Physics, Chemistry with Math, harder than PCB, i.e. Physics, Chemistry with Biology.
- Is class 12th easier than 11th?
Class 11th is a major shift for science students in terms of the syllabus that requires logical learning and analytical thinking. That is why they find class 12th easier than class 11th.
