Q. What was your preparation strategy for the exam?

A. I have not been preparing for Olympiads since the entire 10th because my focus is only to prepare for boards. I started to prepare for boards seriously one month before the board. I give pre boards very intelligently, even before the pre-board I wouldn't be sure that all my syllabus is completed. I critically analyse all my pre boards and also before pre-boards, I made sure I was reading the NCERT thoroughly and I was attempting as many questions as I could find.

Q. When did you finish the syllabus for the term 1 exam?

A. I finished the CBSE syllabus one and a half months before my first pre-board exams.

Q. How is your preparation going for the term 2 exams?

A: I have started preparing for the term 2 exams, I just finished with my pre-boards for term 2 and looking at this result has given me even more motivation for performing well in the term 2 exams as well.

A:

CBSE board is strictly against the practise of using any unfair means during the examinations. The board is actively working to prevent and discourage any malpractice during board examinations every year.

Very important - eat well, sleep optimum and exercise at least for 10 minutes every day.

A. I think COVID-19 only had a positive impact on my studies as far as I can understand. Because I was able to see so much more resources in online sessions like so many exam works, PDFs, notes etc which I would have not seen if it was offline. Online learning seriously helped me a lot.

Q. What are your plans after the 10th? What do you want to become?

A. After class 10, I will be taking Science with PCM as the main subjects. I have the aspiration of becoming a computer science engineer.

Q. What would you advise students who are preparing for the term 2 exams?
