Students today, either don't do anything or they try to do everything. But for some who are aspiring high scores and are budding scientists, there is a quite a talked about topic - Should one do more than what is there in his present syllabus?
The answer is - yes, but with a proper way. A seventh grader cannot start with calculus right away (apart from he being gifted). He/She has to start from the basics. The base for calculus should stay strong. This applies to every single topic. Base sets up every future action. If the base is weak then nobody can succeed.
Yes, If one is doing higher class stuff, he isn't wrong nor he/she is crazy. Proceeding always gives you more knowledge, more mastery but one should keep in mind that first he has to build his foundation strong.
For instance, one is studying motion in grade 9. He can finish the topic and then proceed to Kinematics in grade 11 (since there is no kinematics in 10th). This would not only make the person more knowledgeable but also improve his problem solving skill dramatically. But as always, one has to maintain the equilibrium.
Doing higher class syllabus has one more advantage. It does increase ones self confidence and motivates him/her to apply them practically. So if you are a budding scientist this may prove a miracle. And It also helps getting better results in schools as well as in competitive exams.
And for the "non-geeks" and cool people out there. You better do all the job given to you at present and master that.
