Hi everyone can someone through some light on ways to revise. I mean how much to solve questions and what different sources apart from ims notes.
Basically the methodology of revision.
Hello. I'm yet to give any mains so take things that I mention with a pinch of salt. I'm sure there are other more qualified people, just putting in my thoughts.
Revision has to be done considering two components, the theory portion and the problems. For the theory portion, IMS notes are more than sufficient. If you have made short notes out of them, even better (check Kanishk Kataria Sir's notes to get an idea).
Now, for the problems, I think IMS notes again are important but there are more things that we have to cover too. The idea should be to create a question bank of problems that you find difficult/keep getting wrong. This needs to cover the IMS notes, PYQs and preferably one test series. You can do books too but I haven't found the courage yet. Keep solving, mark important questions and then note down the marked questions. Once you have a question bank, you don't need to go back to the base material.
All the best :)
@Archand thank you for your response.at some point I may forget basic questions like finding basis and dimension or say steps to find shortest distance between lines. What needs to be done for that? Revision from IMS or make question bank for them also?
Don’t worry. This happens to a lot of us, specially if you’ve done lesser rounds of revision. The idea is to try and replace the IMS notes with your own short notes and question bank. I have noted some easy questions as illustrations along with the theory of such topics.
