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:

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.
