Understanding the syllabus and exam structure provided by CBSE is the first step for preparing for any CBSE board exam. You must pay special attention to deleted sections of the syllabus, how the marking scheme works, and how many marks are attached to certain chapters. The blueprint of the exam also acts as a guideline to help you determine which topics are important, thereby not wasting time on irrelevant material.
- Develop a Study Plan: Creating a study timetable that is structured is the foundation to success. You should divide your time between subjects based on the degree of difficulty or length of the syllabus. You should set daily, weekly, and monthly objectives. It is also important to include revision and short breaks in your study plan in order to eliminate the possibility of burnout. Finally, your timetable should be adaptable and attainable in terms of your daily activities.
- Enhance Your Clarity of Concepts: Since the majority of the questions on a CBSE exam are conceptually based, ensure that you do not memorise information but instead acquire an understanding of the concepts. This is particularly important for subjects such as Math, Science and Accountancy. To create a good understanding of your subject, you should learn primarily from NCERT textbooks. The majority of questions on the CBSE exams are based on NCERT textbooks.
- Practice Answer Writing: Practicing writing your answers over and over again is crucial as you will need to provide a clear presentation of your answer, and in most cases, provide a heading, a diagram (if required) and include step-by-step solutions in your presentation. You should also stay within the required word count and not include any excessive information. You can greatly improve your score with good presentation skills.
- Solve Previous Years’ Question Papers: By solving previous years’ question papers and sample papers, you can develop an understanding of patterns in the types of questions that are typically asked, how difficult they are and what the most frequent topics are. You should solve these papers under timed conditions so that you can work on improving your speed, accuracy and time management before your actual exam.
- Revise, Revise, Revise: Revision is the key to retaining information. Create short notes, formula sheets and mind maps to help you revise quickly just before your exams. To get the best benefits out of them, do your revisions well in advance of your exam. The more often you do your revisions the better your memory will be and your confidence will increase.
- Ask Your Questions Immediately: There is no point leaving your questions unanswered. Seek clarification for any doubts you have by discussing them with either your teachers, classmates or through a text book. If questions remain unanswered, they can affect your ability to understand other topics and be successful in exams.
- Take Care of Your Health and Be Disciplined: A healthy body contributes to a concentrated mind, so it is important to sleep properly, eat well and drink plenty of water. Avoid spending too much time in front of a computer screen, particularly while you are studying/examinations. Taking time to exercise or meditate can help manage your stress levels and improve your concentrations.
- Stay Positive and Confident: Keep your mind positive, have confidence in your ability to prepare well and do not make the mistake of comparing yourself with others. Remain calm throughout the exam; read each question carefully and tackle the easiest ones first. If you stay calm and confident through the process, then you will improve your performance.
- Strategy for the Final Days Before the Exam: For the last few days before the exam do not try to learn anything new; you should simply be revising, working out formulas and revisiting key areas of content. Prepare all your exam supplies and materials, as much as possible, ahead of time to reduce last-minute stress.
