Schools have started CBSE Board 2020 Practical Examinations - both internal and external examinations. Teachers share important pointers for students for their practical examinations and how to score well.

Schools affiliated to Central Board of Secondary Education or CBSE have started with the CBSE Class 12 Board Practical Examinations 2020. Other than the schools in the northern hilly states, the dates for CBSE Practical examination are from January 1, 2020 to February 7, 2020. Practical examinations have excellent potential of scoring well for all students. Teachers have shared basic pointers for students to help them excel in the CBSE Board Practical Examination.

Under the new scheme, almost all the subjects have a practical examination. Science stream subjects of Physics, Chemistry and Biology have a 30 mark practical while the other subjects like Accountancy, Business Studies, etc., have a 20 mark practical examination. All students are assessed on three basic elements for their CBSE Board Practical Examinations – the project file, the written/ practical examination and the Viva Voice.

CBSE Board Practical Examinations 2020: 3 Things to remember

1.         Go through your project file: Teachers reiterate that it is important to go through your project file. Most of the students submit the projects by September and promptly forget much about the projects as they get busy. Projects are important and examiners often ask students to talk about and explain the project work. It is hence important for students to be thorough with their project reports and go through the findings and reports that were submitted.

2.         Viva Voice can be from any part of the syllabus: Students can be asked any question from their syllabus. Hence it is important to be thorough with your preparation even for practical examinations. Also, teachers share how students often do not go through the various practical that they have done through the year. It is a board examination and students ought to be prepared for the same.

3.         Basic Examination Etiquettes and Discipline: Teachers often share how examiners are upset when students present for the board practical in casuals. It is a board examination and looking the part is equally important. Students must ensure that they are dressed in neatly ironed uniform appropriate for the weather and are well groomed. Shabby students may often upset the examiner who can then ask rather difficult and confusing questions during viva voice. Being humble is important – a teacher points out.

Apart from these, teachers simply ask students to pay attention to the instructions given by their subject teachers during the practical examination. The biggest advantage is that the students give their practical examination within their schools and their subject teachers are usually present. The familiar surroundings make them more comfortable. But through it all, students must remember that they can ace their practicals with little effort, only if they listen.
