for students
Kahekashan Hans News Service | 16 Jan 2020
This year around 20 lakh students are expected to appear
for this exam, which is scheduled by mid-February.
For Class 10th Board exam, the preparation time is quite
strenuous for students. This year almost 20 lakh students are expected to
appear for this exam, which is scheduled by mid-February. During the
preparation time, students deal with pressure from parents and peers at school.
Students should be mentally prepared that these board
exams are also just like any other exam they appeared earlier in their lives.
The only difference is this the first nationalised exams, where they would be
competing with several students pan India. Instead of worrying about factors
that they cannot control, they should work towards improving their subject
knowledge and stay away from the pressure.
Preparation tips for CBSE Class Xth board exams to avoid
stress and anxiety are:
Practice solving paper
Get the sample papers of past years that are available in
bookstores and solve the papers within the stipulated time to test your
knowledge base in different subjects. When you prepare and write down the
answers to these questions, you get a better idea of the exam format and how to
approach and solve questions during the exam.
Keep fit and stay relaxed
It is very crucial to keep fit and healthy during the
entire exam preparation time and more importantly, before the exams. Only then
you can give your best shot. Eat healthily, get proper sleep, drink adequate
water and exercise regularly when you are preparing for the exams. More
important is that you should stay away from unnecessary stress. Avoid junk food
and overeating to keep lethargy at bay.
Do not leave any topic for the end
There is a possibility that you may find a few topics a
bit difficult and may leave that topic to study in the end or at the last
moment. This would create a lot of pressure on you just before the exams.
Please cover all topics, including the ones you find difficult a few months
before the exams begin. Approach your teachers or parents to understand the
difficult topics or the topics in which you feel you are comparatively weak and
be 100 per cent ready before your exams.
Make brief notes while studying
Create brief and precise notes from textbooks, reference
books when you are preparing for a particular topic so that you improve your
understanding of the same. For each subject, prepare separate notes. Ensure to
highlight important formulae and headings so that you can find it easily when
you revise the topics later.
Make a time table
Ahead of two or three months of the board exams make a
time-table giving enough time to every subject. Don't forget to include short
breaks in between long hours of study so that your mind gets refreshed. Short
breaks will help you to retain and apply information better.
Self-evaluation
Discuss with your friend, your parent or talk to a mentor
and find out more about your strengths and weaknesses related to a particular subject.
Work on the topics that you feel you are weak and give your best to improve
yourself.
Practice writing
During your actual board exam, you have to write a lot
that too at a uniform speed to complete the paper within a specified time.
Start taking practise tests within allocated periods it will help you a lot,
and you can assess yourself where you stand in this domain. The grades in your
board exams would impact your career graph. Be calm and composed in this
practice time, once your mind is calm and centred, you would be able to face
the board exams confidently and get the marks you deserve. I wish good luck and
encourage all the students to make wholehearted efforts to excel in the Board
exams. I request parents not to create unnecessary pressure and support their
children.
Wish you all the best!
