How to Prepare Chemistry

Learn name reactions and mechanisms in Organic Chemistry with examples.
Make a one-page table of periodic trends and exceptions for Inorganic Chemistry.
Practise numericals daily for Physical Chemistry: mole concept, equilibrium, solutions and electrochemistry.
Revise NCERT-style definitions and tables, since many questions are direct.
