"downfall after 10th"

The exact thing happened to my best friend who scored 96% in boards.(I got 94% for context) He chose PCM (JEE), I chose PCB(NEET)

He went to Kota for Allen , I stayed at my (and his) tier 4 city which fortunately got Aakash 1 year before my 11th.

He used to play games with his friends at the back of a live and used to roam with his friends and talked with girls , in conclusion he didn't study a single bit I also didn't study for like the first 4 months of my 11th but then I got on track.

Fast forward 2 years, 73 percentile in JEE mains while I got 98.5(as a NEETard).

His Physics board exam got fucked and he was pretty much on the verge of crying and said he might fail the exam. I am expecting 60+ in the same.

The biggest thing to note is that he studied PE for only 1 day and is expecting 55+ marks which tells u how much learning potential he has. He could have very well have prevented this (I prepared an entire fucking plan for him at the start of February to get good results in his boards and guess what? He didn't study shit till the day before the PE exam)

The downfall occurs because u chose to let it happen to you.

Typing this at 3:50 AM as I saw a post on the same topic ( I frequently scroll reddit in parts between studying and I have always been a late nighter)
