Hello aspirant,

I believe that you are perhaps a little too young to be making preparations at this time.

It will still be another eight to ten years before you are even qualified to take the test. However, there is never a bad time to learn. The best thing you can do right now is read through each NCERT carefully. You should continue to do this even after moving on to the following standard. NCERT is the most crucial resource for preparation, which is why I say this.

You'll find it much simpler when you do begin your preparations a few years later.

Thank you

Hope it helps you.
