It would help the students in making the right approach towards tackling the exam.

Science is perhaps one such stream where students need to master over varied techniques to nail the exam, like memorizing the periodic table, chemical structures, derivations, and chemical equations, solving complex numerical problems, labelling diagrams and many more. Read the article below to learn more about the syllabus, grading and exam pattern and also the preparation tips for BSEB 12th exam 2020.

As per the BSEB 12th timetable 2020, the exam for Physics is scheduled to take place on February 3, Chemistry is on February 4, while BSEB 12th Biology exam 2020 will be on February 5.

 Physics can be the toughest paper that consists of complex derivations. Physics and Chemistry paper pattern consists of numerical problems. Chemistry also includes the periodic tables, chemical structures, and chemical equations. Biology paper will incorporate labelled diagrams and drawing. Besides all this, the expected questions include descriptive answers, one-word answers, filling in the blanks, and matching the correct pairs. 

 Important Resources and Books for BSESB 12th Science exam

There are many resources and books that are available offline and online. Students can categorise into two different kinds, one is knowledge base study and the other one is completing the textbook syllabus for the exam. It is beneficial for a long time to study knowledge-base that consists of examples and explanations for a better understanding. But, when there is not much time for conceptual base study, students can go for the resources that include guidelines for the important concepts and questions, without any depth explanations. This will benefit them for the last-minute of preparations and revisions. However, it’s the sole choice of the students if they want to substitute the textbook from different books and authors to enhance the knowledge base. 

Students can refer to the books/ publications mentioned below:

1. NCERT (Textbooks recommended by the board)
2. Previous years’ solved question papers
3. Arihant Publications 
4. Golden Question banks

Preparation Tips for Bihar Board 12th science exam

1. Make a study plan: It is essential to make a study plan for completing the syllabus well ahead in time. 
2. Previous Years’ Question Papers: One of the most effective ways to evaluate the preparation is to solve last years’ question papers. Solving these question papers will help the students in getting an insight into the type of questions asked in the question paper.
3. Formulae and derivations: Papers including Maths and Physics generally includes a lot of formulas and derivations which are very important. Students must practise them on a daily basis. To prepare for the same, they can write down all the derivation and formulas separately and read it twice a day. This will help you remember them correctly during the examination. 
4. Memorise the tables: Chemistry paper is easy but there is a catch, it requires you to remember the periodic table and chemical equations. Write it down and paste it near the study table. Go through this table now and then to memorise it. Also, make sure to always practice the chemical structures, so that it will be easy to remember. 
5. Refer to the Right Study Material: There are a lot of books and study material available for BSEB 12th Science exam. But choosing the right one will make all the difference. Do not waste the crucial time in collecting a bunch of study material, rather, sort the important and useful ones which cover the entire BSEB 12th Science syllabus.
6. Adhere to the stipulated time: Students need to practice solving the previous years’ question papers in the given hour in the examination and evaluate the speed of your writing. It is very necessary to avoid writing unnecessarily lengthy answers; it will help you save time for the rest of the questions, devoid of relevance to the question. 
7. Organize your answers: When you are writing long answers, write a short and to the point introduction of the concept. Try to write your answers in bullet points. Always highlight the main keywords.
8. Time Management: Time Management is very essential for the preparation of any exam. Students must chalk out a time-oriented study strategy so that they complete their entire BSEB 12th syllabus well in time.
9. Don’t give in to stress or peer pressure: Each student has their speed and method of learning. Study at your own pace, that is both effective and light-headed. Finish the difficult sections first and then take out time for the lesser important topics.
