I am 17 and I had to drop out of my JEE preparation halfway because I do not have access to proper daily guidance or a roadmap to handle the backlogs and mental fatigue

Hello everyone, I am Ishwar and I am 17 right now. As I mentioned, I dropped my JEE prep 2 months ago. Now, I am working to solve the exact problems that led me to drop my preparation—problems that almost every aspirant faces during their 2-year journey.
When I was preparing, there was no one who could guide me or help me decide what was right and what was wrong. I didn’t know how to tackle backlogs, and when the concepts went completely over my head, I felt completely broken. There was nobody to back me up, give me the right direction, mentor me, or clear my doubts.
That is the reason I faced severe mental fatigue. I was clueless, without any direction, any plan, or any guidance. It broke me emotionally, and I had to drop out.
But after dropping out, I looked at myself and looked at the people around me. I figured out what aspirants actually need. We don't just need books; we need someone to understand us and guide us.
So, I started a WhatsApp community where real IITians mentor students for free. They give guidance, solve doubts, and back students up whenever they feel left behind. These mentors take weekly live sessions to solve doubts and explain topics.
I am paying these experts from my own pocket because I know how it feels to be helpless. We are providing this mentorship and doubt resolution from IITians completely for free.
Currently, 100 members have joined our community, and we are just hoping to help more aspirants for free.

CALCULUS

I wanted suggestions for Which Book To Go For Calculus which has very good conceptual understanding theory and QUALITY Sums.. I heard of Cengage, GRB, Thomas & Vinay Kumar..

17, dropper. dropped 4 months mid-prep last year. building what i wish existed when i broke down.

if you're a dropper this year, you already know what i'm

going to say.

the hardest part isn't the second attempt.

it's the silence between you and a textbook at 11 pm when

your mock score broke you that morning. it's everyone

assuming you'll just "try harder this time." it's having

no one to talk to who's actually been there.

last year i scored 142 in september. december i was at 89.

i didn't get dumber. i broke.

what nobody told me — droppers don't fail because of less

time. they fail because they have more pressure and same

broken systems. same rigid timetable. same "you missed a

day, you're behind forever" guilt. same isolation.

so my co-founder and i are building prepex. it's the system

i wish i had during my drop.

→ daily plan that adapts when you crash (not punishes you)

→ auto-schedules revision so you don't forget what you

studied last week

→ detects burnout patterns silently — before you stop opening

the app

→ welcomes you back gently when you disappear for 3 days

community crossed 100+ aspirants. just added two iit mentors:

→ aditya (iit madras, final year) — doubt solver, daily

7-8 pm

→ saad (iiit nagpur) — weekly live google meet sessions

all free. no subscription, no premium tier nonsense.

dropper to dropper — your second attempt can be different.

not because you have less syllabus left. because you have

clearer eyes about what actually broke you last time.

screenshot of the app + mentors below.

one honest question for fellow droppers — what was the

exact moment last year you knew it had slipped? want to

make sure we're building for that moment, not after.

(prepex.io if you want a look. dm for community link.)

Help

I actually bought University Physics by Young and Freedman some days ago... Actually I'm aiming for Olympiad + JEE Advanced (engineering entrance exam based in India if you guys know)... But my main focus is in physics research(17 btw)...

I have seen the problems in university physics but that are not that much relevant to that examination or olympiad level but it covers almost every inch of theory that we all need.. I'm currently at mechanics now and I have heard my classmates saying mechanics is gonna ruin your life forever etc etc..

Now I have mainly 3 physics books, one is university physics, hc verma's concepts of physics, and some modules of my coaching institutes but I don't solve them that much... I just solve the daily sheets of my teacher ..

What more should I solve for physics (average student here just started physics )? There are so many books n the market and I wanna build my practice from 0 to hero.

please suggest me some books that are really helpful in this scenario

Also, I have calculus by stewart is that good enough for Olympiad? I don't have any subjective algebra or trigonometry books... Many teachers have suggested me to buy cengage algebra and trigonometry by g tewani, and for calculus problems follow arihant amit m aggarwal..

what should I do please help me I'm very confused

**my chemistry is getting shitty too😭
