Hav e a plan and timetable:
Differ ent students use video classes in

classes instead of a traditional coaching, you
should have a clear timetable and plan. Video
classes should fit in <50% of your allotted
days for a subject. If you ar e using videos ar e
a supplementary tool, you can selectively
watch only the videos you require.
Make notes:

allocated for videos in your time table, SKIP

videos in topics / specialities you are
otherwise good at.
