Ranchi, Jan 10: The Central Board of Secondary Education’s (CBSE) Class 10 and Class 12 board exams play a pivotal role in the academic career of a student as they have a significant impact on shaping one’s career trajectory. As per the information, the CBSE Board Exam 2023 is set to begin on February 15, 2023. With just a month left, many students might stand clueless about how to prepare for the examinations within a competitive deadline.
Teachers at Champ Square, a coaching institute in the city have pointed out the basic requirements of a student preparing for board examinations. They believe that by following an effective study plan in a disciplined manner while keeping exam stress at bay, students can bag the desired scores even within a short span of preparation.
Prepare a time-table to manage time effectively
The syllabus is vast, but the woe of preparation can vanish if an effective timetable is formulated that matches one’s schedule. A systematic and planned approach towards preparation for exams will result in covering the vast syllabus within a planned and specified time.
When the time is limited, we tend to ignore small topics which might appear in the exam. It becomes significant to allocate the time and manage the topics which will assist you to complete the syllabus. Remember, you should make a realistic and easy-to-implement study plan.
Understanding the syllabus
The smartest way to prepare effectively for the CBSE board exams in a limited time period is by being aware of the syllabus and the exam pattern. A clear understanding of the syllabus and the exam pattern can significantly reduce the stress on the students and help them easily get prepared for the exams.
The syllabus can guide the students regarding the topics about which the questions can be asked.
Time schedule and study plan
After gaining a thorough understanding of the syllabus, the next step for students should be to chalk out a full schedule and follow it rigorously. Preparing an effective study plan includes time management and studying according to the syllabus, which will help a student complete preparation for all the subjects on time.
Sample question papers
Solving sample question papers can be an effective strategy for preparing for any examination. Sample question papers can help a student understand the types of questions that can be asked during the exam and also provide insight into the exam pattern.
CBSE has also released its sample papers for all the subjects. Class 10 and 12 students can visit the official academic website of CBSE, i.e., cbseacademic.nic.in to check and practice the same.
Revision
Strategic preparation might not be enough for a student to excel in the CBSE Board exams if s/he is not revising the topics deliberately. After covering the entire syllabus, the key to scoring high marks is by revising the important chapters and topics.
Comparison with peers
During the exams, students often study in small groups; a good way to make studying interesting. But students should not engage in comparison with their peers.
It often leaves students apprehensive about their approach toward preparations and might make them demoralized and stressed, which affects their overall preparation. Hence, following their own plan will help students to achieve their ultimate goals.
Breaks
While most students will aggressively prepare for the exams, especially within a limited time span, taking breaks from time to time can be effective for maintaining good mental and physical health.
