Exams can be super stressful, but with a realistic plan, you can conquer them easily! Tips on excelling in the CBSE board exams...
The CBSE exam pattern has undergone changes. Carefully review it and the updated CBSE syllabus. Analyse previous years' question papers. Check the weightage of each topic; allocate your study time accordingly. Stick to NCERT books; most questions are directly sourced from there.
The timetable you create for each subject must prioritise difficult topics, but don’t neglect easier ones. Stick to a daily schedule. Stay consistent. Don't compare yourself with friends. Make your own plan, follow it closely and you will rock in the exam.
Instead of rote learning, use revision notes, flowcharts, mind maps to revise. Regularly take time first for revising concepts. Practice active recalling, it will help to remember more concepts/topics. Before bed, open your notes for what you studied during the day and just look through them. It will make your preparation much easier.
Solve at least past 10 years’ question papers and sample papers. This helps you understand the question format, marking scheme, and time management during exams.
While studying, mark any doubts you have. If you can't solve them by the day's end, don't wait! Ask teachers, check online resources, or discuss with friends to clear your doubts before exams.
Practice answering questions within time limits. Focus on neat, structured answers and avoid unnecessary details. Good handwriting and proper formatting can fetch extra marks.
Don't keep anything for the last moment. Believe in yourself. Stay calm on exam day. Panic won’t help -- trust your preparation and you will get the results you want.
