With the exams fast approaching, we are sure you would have already formulated a plan for preparing for the exam. Nevertheless, here are some useful tips to help you to prepare well and score more. 

Plan a schedule – Time management is challenging when exams are around the corner. Proper time management is the key to preparation for exams. Creating a study plan will not only help in proper time management but will also reduce the level of stress that you face during exam preparation time. There are no strict rules for planning a study schedule. It is personalized to suit factors like the amount of time that can be dedicated to studying, study pattern and speed of learning etc. When you plan a schedule, make sure that it will work for you and also make sure that you stick to the plan. 

Make notes – when you are revising, you should stick to the habit of making notes side by side. This will be helpful for quick reference before the exams.

Give importance to the most important topics first – When you analyze past ten years’ question paper, you will get an idea about the most critical questions. Give importance to them but never commit the mistake of disregarding other questions. 

Solve previous years’ questions and sample questions – Solving previous years’ question papers will make you familiar with the question pattern. You will be able to have an idea of your level of preparation and your area of weakness. When you keep on practising, you will be able to increase your speed of writing and finish the exam in-time. These will also help one understand the NBSE HSLC Exam Pattern.

Understand the concepts clearly – Understanding the topics is mandatory. Memorizing the answers without understanding the concepts will not help. If you have doubts get them cleared instantly. If you are not able to understand the textbook, you can always ask your teacher. Your teacher will surely help in clearing your doubts. Refer to guides and videos on the internet to understand the topic better. 

Say goodbye to stress – Stress and anxiety can hamper your preparations. Make sure you are relaxed while preparing for exams and also while writing exams. When you are sincere in your efforts and when you are thorough with the subjects you will be free of stress and anxiety.

Make a few lifestyle changes – A healthy lifestyle is important while preparing for exams. You should not fall ill during exam time. You will be able to concentrate better if you follow a few lifestyle habits. What are they? 

  • Eat healthy food. Avoid eating fast food and oily food. 
  • Include more vegetables and fruits in your diet.
  •  Devote some time for exercising. You can take a walk or spend a little time playing your favourite game on the field. 
  • Sleep well. 
  • Don’t waste your time on social media and watching TV before going to sleep. Instead, listen to soft music to calm your mind and body.

Take regular breaks – The human brain has some limitations. It cannot focus on the same thing for long hours of time. Taking breaks in between will keep you focused and your body and brain to stay alert.
