Q:   How do I handle Tamil Nadu 10th board exams pressure?

A:

Students preparing to appear for the Tamil Nadu Class 10 board exams 2024 must go through the tips below to handle the TN 10th exam pressure well.

Strategize with study aids

To capitalise on preparing chapters, students must integrate study aids into their preparation. Sample papers and previous years’ question papers should be practised diligently to understand the exam pattern and the type of questions that are commonly asked. Mock tests are crucial for improving time management and for getting accustomed to the pressure of the examination environment.

Guides and notes should be used judiciously. While guides provide a curated path through the vast TN SSLC syllabus, personal notes can act as a quick reference and help in last-minute revisions. Video tutorials, particularly for complex concepts in Physics and Chemistry, can offer a different perspective and aid in better comprehension.

Role of consistency and understanding

Consistency in study habits and a deep understanding of concepts is vital. Students should aim to clarify their doubts at the earliest and engage in peer discussions to solidify their understanding. Regular revisions and practising a variety of problems are imperative for retaining concepts and for performing well in exams.

Dealing with the pressure

The pressure to perform can often lead to stress, which is counterproductive. Students should ensure they have a balanced routine, with ample, regular breaks and leisure activities to keep their minds fresh and receptive. A healthy diet, adequate sleep, and physical exercise can also contribute significantly to a student’s overall performance.

As students prepare for the Tamil Nadu Class 10 Board exams, focusing on scoring chapters can make a sizable difference in the final outcome. However, it is the amalgamation of strategic planning, consistent practice, and the effective use of study aids that will turn potential into excellence.

A: No, I did not take any coaching. My school is my only coaching. I believe that if you pay attention in classroom teaching and do self-study with full concentration, then you won’t need any coaching for any exam.

Q: Who encouraged you the most in this journey?

A: My parents and my school have been the pillar of strength for me throughout this journey. Despite all odds they have been very supportive and made sure that I get proper time to study and revise.

Q: What was your routine during TN 10th board exam preparation?

A: I used to record all the big questions in an audio format and I hear the things where I need to be corrected, and that helped me a lot for this success today. I made sure that I practice previous year's questions and revise important notes before the exam to score well.
