CBSE 12th Board Exams 2020: Tricks & strategy from
last year's Commerce stream topper
LUDHIANA: Preeti Dhaiya is pursuing B.Com (honours) from
Shri Ram College of Commerce, Delhi University. She was a Commerce stream
student of DCM Presidency School in Jamalpur Colony when she scored 98.6% in
her Class XII exams. She also received a certificate of merit from Central
Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) for being among top 0.1% students in
accountancy in Class XII.
Did you do anything special to prepare yourself?
I always stayed positive and did not worry about end
results. For me, the most important thing were the blessings and guidance of
parents and teachers. To some extent, luck also played an important role, I
would say.
Tips and tricks for the students appearing for exams?
Keep revising important topics and start now, don't wait
for tomorrow. Early mornings worked best for me. Figure out the time when you
are at your optimal best. I used to study for nearly 2 hours in the morning
everyday. This is when I am more focused. I used to make notes in classes and
coaching centre. Highlighting important points in different topics works really
well. Also, NCERT books are a must.
How did you keep yourself relaxed both before and during
exams?
By not letting myself feel overburdened by my studies. I
slept for seven to eight hours every night, no matter what. Proper sleep is
important to maintain concentration during exams. I also solved sample papers
within three hours. It provides an exam-like atmosphere and helps in
maintaining pace during exams. I also tried to eat a balanced meal every day,
this too is quite important, I feel.
So, what did you do to not to feel 'overburdened'?
I listened to music, read novels during breaks and was
also on social media for very short spans of time to relax. It worked fine for
me. I also loved to take morning and evening walks.
How was the actual experience of writing the exams?
My experience was very good, as I got sufficient time to
prepare for all subjects. I focused on completing the paper within the
specified time period. I followed what I called 'backward paper solving' -- I
solved the last questions first and then gradually proceeded. It helps in
solving maximum questions of highest weightage.
