Know the syllabus and plan tasks
Know the complete ICSE syllabus 2025. It mentions the units and chapters to be covered. Set your targets for every subject. Decide what needs to be covered in a designated time. Do not start with lengthy units but those that are short and manageable so as to fetch confidence. Once done with the smaller ones, go for lengthy units.
Plan the routine and stick to it
Prepare a timetable to be followed daily. Make a list of all the subjects to be covered. If one realizes it’s difficult to study for longer hours, let’s say 4 hours a day, break it down into two subjects per day i.e. 2 hours for each subject. Tough subjects can be allotted more time, and a little less for the one which seems easier.
Keep time for relaxation
Divide the working hours in such a way as to be able to relax after the completion of a particular topic or ICSE chapter. Do what makes you feel relaxed. It may be listening to music, a cup of coffee, or just having a small walk around and taking a sip of water.
Solve previous years' papers/ ICSE Specimen Papers 2025
It is important to solve previous years' question papers for better preparation. They'll help one get familiar with the marking scheme, different types of questions asked, duration and exam pattern. One even gets to know the questions asked in the exam over the years.
Stay away from personal stress
Avoid all unnecessary phone calls and social networking sites since all these can act as a distraction.
Make notes
While studying, make notes of all the important notes and formulas. These can be referred to before exam day.
