 Question

What does it take to succeed in any Exam? How Vedantu

can help one in succeeding?

Vedantu Approach to Teaching

Role of Academic Mentors/ Personal Teachers

Importance of 6th to 8th Class

Issues faced in 6th to 8th Class

Importance of 9th to 10th Class

Issues faced in 9th to 10th Class

Importance of 11th to 12th Class

Issues faced in 11th to 12th Class

 Vedantu Thoughts

Following is required to succeed in any exam:

- Comprehension of the Topic -> Vedantu Teachers
- Right and Planned Preparation -> Vedantu Academic Mentors/ Personal Teachers
- Motivation -> Vedantu AMs/PTs
- Not letting doubts or confusion stop you -> Doubts App
- Practice, Practice & Practice -> Additional Tests and Assignments
- Exact content to be read
- To the point coverage
- Student & Parent Engagement
- Ensures Learning Outcome
- Planning & Time Management

Basic concept building happens from Class 6th to 8th. Strong understanding in
these concepts is an insurance of student’s success in future classes and
competitive examination.
- Lack of concentration.
- Still in Primary education mode
- Lack of sincerity

9th and 10th class are very crucial from career orientation standpoint. This is when
a student gets conscious about the career track he/she would like to take be it
engineering or medical.
Syllabus also advances from the basic concepts learnt in class 6th to 8th.
Students start facing Time Management issue since the topics taught during these
classes are slightly tougher. The pressure of board exams are also brings down the
motivation.

These classes are life changing classes where a student has already decided a career
path and along with school studies, he/she prepares for competitive exams such as
JEE and NEET.
Good performance in these classes (and/or competitive exams) ensures the
admission of student into reputed colleges.
Time management and need for a proper guidance are common issues.
The subjects taught in these classes are in much more advanced stages as
compared to 9&10th classes. Therefore, students face difficulty in comprehension
& applications of concepts.
