Here are some tips, tricks and strategies to help you do last-minute preparation for CBSE Class 12th Board exams. 

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is all set to conduct the remaining CBSE 12th Board Exam 2020 from July 1, 2020. The CBSE exams and the CBSE board results 2020 have been delayed this year due to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus followed by multiple lockdowns imposed in order to contain the virus spread.

According to the CBSE Class 12 date sheet 2020, the CBSE 12th board exams 2020 started on February 15 and was supposed to conclude on March 30, 2020. However, 12th board exams of CBSE for multiple subjects got postponed due to the COVID-19 lockdown.

According to the revised CBSE 12th date sheet released for the CBSE Class 12 students for pending 12th board exams of CBSE the 12th board exams will be conducted between July 1 and July 15, 2020. Almost one month after conducting these exams the CBSE 12th Result 2020 will be announced. The Board is expected to announce the CBSE Board Results 2020 i.e. by August 15, 2020.

With so much uncertainty hovering around the CBSE class 12th exam and with a break of more than two months due to coronavirus imposed lockdown, it has now become a challenge for students to appear for the Class 12th CBSE exam.

Parents of both CBSE and CISCE Board have also started an online campaign demanding both the Boards to not conduct the remaining exam and declare the result on the basis of internal assessment, considering the rise in the number of coronavirus cases in the country.

However, CBSE will be conducting the Board exams as of now and if you are someone who is preparing for CBSE Class 12th examination 2020, then you should certainly follow these tips given below to ace in the exam.

Here are some tricks, tips and strategies that can help you nail CBSE Class 12 exam 2020.

Frame a strategy

The first step towards the preparation is to plan how to prepare especially when you can’t go to tuition classes and you have to prepare for the exam as well as upcoming entrance exams too. Make your schedule and plan the next ten days you have, in a way that you feel will suit you the best. This sense of responsibility, in a way, creates moderate stress, and that is exactly where you perform your best

Sleep Properly

In order to keep yourself fit before appearing for the exam, make sure you sleep properly. Try avoiding late-night studies. Take an 8-hour sleep every day to keep yourself fresh and energetic. This will help your brain to rest and you can start studying all fresh the next morning. Fresh mind helps you stay focused and learn things easily.

Don’t let COVID-19 Lockdown take a toll on your mental health

These are tough times, agreed, but we have to come out of it together. With no option to go out for some sort of change, it is advisable for students to try meditation and yoga. If you are mentally calm, you will be able to concentrate more on the studies and will end up scoring more. Avoid any negative thoughts to cross your mind.

You can opt for listening to some good music too to help you divert your mind and keep you fresh to study.

Online interaction with teachers and friends

In case, you have any doubts about any subject you should contact your teachers, or friends to get some clarity. Don’t stress over it. If you are unable to contact them, then try various tutorials currently available to help with your doubts on the internet. Log in and learn. 

Study Material available for students on the National Digital Library of India (NDLI)

The study material has been specially curated to help students to do a final round of preparation for Class 10th and Class 12th Board exams. It contains books, notes, questions, solutions, video lectures etc. on all subjects from Government bodies, KendriyaVidyalayas and Non-Government organisations. Students can access useful content at a single place and thus save time. Students can access the NDLI website to get the study material and other details.

CBSE 12th Sample papers 2020, Practice papers, past year exam papers, guess papers

When exams are just a few days away, it is a task to shuffle from new books to another. This will lead to incomplete preparation and will affect your overall score. All you need to do is to revise the practice papers, sample papers, and previous years' papers. This will help you during the exams.

Practice but don’t go overboard

With nothing to do extra currently, you might end up doing revision more than two times. Please remember it is not good for your mental health to do the same thing over and over again. While practicing also, makes sure you try to finish the paper within 3 hours of time. This will help you learn time management skills.

Good Handwriting matters

It means that along with studies you should always practice your handwriting too. Whatever you write, it should be near, clear, and readable.
