The CBSE Class 10 board exam 2021 will start from May 2021, for which the board has released the detailed timetable. As a practice before any board exams, students would be busy with revision and practice to attempt the paper correctly.
Students face tremendous pressure, firstly to attempt all questions correctly, secondly because of the rush to solve the entire paper in the given time frame, and finally, the demand to secure best marks.
So, below listed are some useful tips that will help students to reduce exam stress and increase the chances to secure more than 90% marks in their exams.
1. Time it well
Each student has a different mind and hence, hence the period during which they should begin their preparation will be different. However, it is recommended to start the preparation well beforehand. This will help them get ample time for revision and practice, increasing their chances of scoring high marks.
2. Sufficient time for self-study
Every student must devote a certain amount of time completely to self-studies to analyze and practice whatever is taught in school or coaching classes.
3. Acquire the best study habits
The way to prepare for any exam and get success is by creating a clear and comprehensive study plan. Making the plan, sticking to it and remaining disciplined are three sure-shot ways to success.
4. Create a proper timetable
Without proper planning clearing, any exam gets difficult. Hence, to ensure that their time is well spent, students should ideally make a timetable to study each subject and stick to it religiouslyanswers
5. Create a strategy for studying long answers
Writing long answers are worrisome for students. To curb this concern, students must prepare a strategy for writing long answers, like breaking them into paragraphs, writing them on papers, and relating them to real-life situations.
6. Solve CBSE sample papers
Solving previous examination papers help the students to get familiar with the exam pattern. It also helps students to improve their problem-solving skills and accuracy.
7. Time management
How effectively a student spends his/her time is what differentiates the toppers from the average students. Ideally, to score high marks, students need to utilize every minute and study a total of at least 8 hours a day, by incorporating some simple adjustments to their daily routine.
8. Stay away from distractions
Distractions mostly include social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp, etc. Parents should guide students to keep away from these for the next few months.
9. Focus on languages
It is often noticed that language subjects like English, Hindi, etc. are ignored by students to ensure more focus is given to the core subjects like Physics, Maths, etc. However, language subjects often tend to boost a student’s overall percentile in the exam and they should not be given any less importance.
10. Clarity of thought, expression, and handwriting
Assessors have to check thousands of answer sheets in a limited time. Hence, students need to write a neat and clean answer sheet to avoid the teacher from stressing themselves out while trying to read the answers. Particular focus must be given on handwriting and clarity of thought while attempting the questions.
