pen, pencil and eraser are allowed but nothing abt sharpner is mentioned 🙃. If sharpner isn't allowed will mechanical pencil be allowed?

There is 32 days left for IAT. I want to get at least 3-4 questions in bio correct. I absolutely hate memorization, that is one of the reason why i took PCM (other than the main reason of Interest ofc). For maths and physics practice is the only way to get good and for PC and OC not really that much to memorize (for the most part other than the obscure reactions/reagents, the names are a headache). I haven't studied inorganic other than period table and chem bonding (ig that's inorganic i thought it would be physical).

I thought i would be able to get good enough in IAT but after solving some pyqs of pcm that seems pretty touch and go from where I am standing. Is there any way to study bio without rote memorization?

Ik that there is bio in the first year for IISER but i feel i can study it in college where i will have much more time. I was in full day school + coaching so most days i could only study 1 -1.5 hours to study so I prioritized maths an physics practice over chem (also cause maths and physics more fun).
