How Toppers Use NCERT MADE EASY Differently: Secret Tips

Strategy 1: The "Pre-Class" Priming (Staying One Step Ahead)

The Average Student: Goes to the coaching class or school blank. The teacher starts a new chapter (e.g., "Thermodynamics"). The student tries to understand everything for the first time in class. If the teacher is fast, the student gets lost.

The Topper Strategy: A Topper never walks into a classroom unprepared. Before the teacher starts a chapter, the Topper spends just 20 minutes the night before reading the chapter in NCERT MADE EASY.

• Why Made Easy? Because reading the original NCERT takes too long and is confusing.
• What they do: They quickly scan the Class 11 Physics chapter summary. They look at the flowcharts. They understand the basic terms.
• The Result: When the teacher explains the concept in class, it is not "new" information for the Topper. It is "Revision." While others are struggling to understand the definition, the Topper is already asking advanced doubts.
• Takeaway: Use this book as a "Trailer" before the main movie (Class).

Strategy 2: The "Filter" Technique (Cutting the Junk)

The Average Student: Reads thick reference books like Pradeep’s or S.L. Arora cover-to-cover. They waste days studying topics that were removed from the syllabus 5 years ago. They think "Zyada padhenge toh zyada marks aayenge."

The Topper Strategy: Toppers know that NTA asks questions strictly from NCERT. They use NCERT MADE EASY as a "Syllabus Filter."

• They open their thick reference book.
• They keep NCERT MADE EASY open next to it.
• If a topic is in the reference book but NOT in NCERT MADE EASY, they skip it immediately.
• Why? Because Made Easy is strictly based on the NCERT syllabus. If it's not there, it's not coming in the exam.
• The Benefit: This saves them hundreds of hours. They focus 100% of their energy on the relevant syllabus. This is essential for subjects like Class 12 Chemistry where extra reactions can confuse you.

Strategy 3: The "Keyword Hunt" (Scoring High in Boards & Biology)

The Average Student: Writes answers in Board Exams or memorizes Biology in their own language. They understand the concept but miss the specific "technical terms" that examiners look for.

The Topper Strategy: Toppers know that examiners have an answer key with specific Keywords. If those keywords are missing, marks are cut.

• They use NCERT MADE EASY to identify these keywords.
• The book highlights the "Scientific Terms" in bold.
• For example, in Class 11 Biology, instead of just understanding "Photosynthesis," they memorize the specific terms for the pigments and cycles mentioned in the flowcharts.
• The Result: Their answers look professional and scientifically accurate. In NEET, this helps them spot the correct option where options are very similar.

Strategy 4: The "Gap Filling" Method (Mastering Physics Derivations)

The Average Student: Memorizes the final formula of a Physics derivation. v² = u² + 2as. But when a question comes like, "If the acceleration is non-uniform, derive the relation...", they fail. They memorized the result, not the process.

The Topper Strategy: Toppers use NCERT MADE EASY to understand the "Why".

• In the original NCERT, Step 1 jumps to Step 4.
• Toppers use Class 11 Physics Part 1 to see Step 2 and Step 3.
• They practice the derivation by hand. They understand the calculus behind the physics.
• The Result: They can solve "twisted" questions because their fundamental logic is solid. They don't fear new types of questions.

Strategy 5: The "Exception Diary" (Cracking Inorganic Chemistry)

The Average Student: Hates Inorganic Chemistry. They say, "Yaar, isme toh sab kuch ratna padta hai." (I have to rote learn everything). They mix up the trends of Group 15 and Group 16 elements.

The Topper Strategy: Toppers love Inorganic Chemistry because it is the most scoring part.

• They use the Tables in Class 12 Chemistry Part 1.
• The Hack: They don't just read the book. They copy the specific "Exceptions" mentioned in the "Note" boxes of Made Easy into a separate small diary.
• They revise this diary every morning for 15 minutes.
• The Result: In the exam hall, while others are confused "Is Oxygen the exception or Sulphur?", the Topper marks the answer in 5 seconds.

Strategy 6: The "Reverse Revision" (Active Recall)

The Average Student: Revises by re-reading the chapter. They open the book and read line-by-line again. This is passive and boring. The brain sleeps.

The Topper Strategy: Toppers use Active Recall.

• They open NCERT MADE EASY to a page with a Flowchart or a Mind Map.
• They cover the details with their hand and look only at the main Heading.
• They try to speak out the entire concept loudly.
• Then they remove their hand to check if they were right.
• Why this works: When you struggle to remember, your brain builds stronger connections. This book is perfect for this because it is structured in points, not long paragraphs.

Strategy 7: The "Board vs NEET" Balance

The Average Student: Struggles to balance School Exams (Boards) and Competitive Exams (NEET/JEE). They buy separate books for both and get overwhelmed.

The Topper Strategy: Toppers use one single resource for the base.

• They know that NCERT MADE EASY covers the theory for both.
• For Boards: They use the clear definitions and derivations given in the book to write subjective answers.
• For NEET/JEE: They use the "Note Points" and logic to solve MCQs.
• The Result: They don't waste time switching books. Their concepts remain consistent.
