How to Prepare for CBSE Examination ?

Exams mean stepping into the next world of Higher Education i.e. from higher secondary to degree education and so on. Many students may be in confusion on how to prepare for their exams they need to face. Students are often overtaken by the pressure of performing well in exams apart from other strains such as grasping and retaining everything, studying hard and moreover, presenting what they have studied as desired by the examiner. 

PREPARE A PROPER TIME TABLE

Prepare a prOper time table for your entire course. Divide your time for every activity. The time table should be devised in such a manner that your maximum time is devoted for studies instead of wasting it here and there. Allot proper time for your sleep. sleep early and wake up early next morning. Take out some time for activities which interest you most, such as playing games, watching TV or listening to music. This helps you to refresh yourself. Rationalise your time equally for each subject. Do not spend too much time on a particular subject and do not neglect another one.

DO NOT TRY TO GRASP TOO MANY THINGS AT A TIME

Your target should be to cover a particular topic of a subject in one day. Do not try to overlearn, as this will lead to confusion. Focus on concept building instead of the quantum of study. You can select one or two topics from 2-3 subjects everyday and finish them thoroughly. Too many topics at a time will lead you nowhere during examination.

STUDY SMARTLY

Smartly here does not mean that you skip some topics. Here it refers to your efficiency. Do not waste your entire day in solving a single difficult problem. If you get stuck in some question, move ahead and solve the next one. Plan your study well. Increase your study hours gradually. First solve the easy questions and then move to difficult ones.

NOTE-MAKING

Make notes, highlight, and if you don’t mind making notes in your book, then you can even summarise the page in the margins. This will help you recollect important points just before the exam.

PRACTISE MODEL TEST PAPERS 

Practice makes a man perfect. Practising model test papers in real time situations not only makes you familiar with the paper pattern. but also makes you confident. You get to know different ways in which questions can be asked and also raise doubts which you could not have come across while studying that chapter.

MEDITATION AND EXERCISE 

You should also devote some time for meditation and exercises to keep yourself fit. Meditation helps in improving your concentration and gives you mental peace. Sitting continuously for 12-14 hours daily during studies disturbs our digestive system, so we should do some simple exercises and take breaks at regular intervals.
