majority icse students said that

no bro for real - they got no exam pattern, these teachers advise students to solve bunch of sample paper - but in exams level of ques paper and those sample paper is no where relevant. they praise ncerts for sci - who'll even call them sci books - they are less like science based more onto literature. and changing weightage of exam marks just after term 1 exams bcoz apparently their so called elite schools couldn't obey a bunch of rules and felt so insecure that they had to inflate their marks. there's no definite checking pattern or marking system.

I know

I'm feeling so frustrated

Yeah true I felt that too. Being an ex ICSE student I often thought about cbse as a no proper pattern base of conducting exams and as well as syllabus.

@empathicorange3- I'm glad that I'm not the only one who had these thoughts.

are you a school student ?

I guess u can say I'm a high school graduate. trying to get into some college .

what career field have you opted? anything yet ?

I'm a pcmb student... ,confused as hell. I gave jee mains, neet and ipmat... I don't see any hope to get into either of these in this yr.

I would like you to become a doctor

take a break- become a doctor!!

that was my first choice, wanted to study meds at aims delhi .... then shit happened.

just go for it - just if u have little heart for it. if u r not interested at all in that case just drop the idea

what happened?

I started real late my 11th grade... realised I can't handle death-ill die with the guilt and have many interests as hobbies in entirely different fields...

its like I want to do everything and nothing at the same time.

God! I had similar thoughts haha once in my life

what do you mean many interests as hobbies ?? what kind of hobbies and what do you mean by entirely different field ?

thoughts of dying? what why ? brb

hmm... as a kid I always wanted to be a neurologist....but as I grew up I realised learning about business (finance)is really important too , and interest in psychology and I'm a secretly a tech freak so....

in other words... I'm a disaster right now .

I really envy you - the position that you are on at the moment is just perfect..... 1. age factor, interests + booming areas for the future

I hope you are doing good in your life !!

um no... sometimes I wish I was not so curious or ambitious, I wish I had that "I just need a job and I'll be done in life"of kind of attitude, having varied interests and being ambitious that to without a mentor means trying to walk on a rope with a balancing stick .currently I'm struggling in deciding what pathway I want to choose in future. most of the time being analytical - I don't really fit in with people. + there are problems. it sucks... but I leave that to destiny lol.

go to www.selbic.org - find a phone number there and drop a message. let's see what can be done!

what is this web for?

for career counseling! text the person. he help creative but confused students for free

okay, I will check that out

sure, well you seem to be a creative person and do not waste your life over pity confusion do whatever u r heart tells u too go for it!!! and later in life learn about your interests and amalgate all of them and create something very unique. I hope it helps u

it's less about the school/ board and more about what values you incurred and what you've learned.

@recovering babe - I didn't meant values... eventually it affects marks.
