As the board exams are getting close, tension and anxiety among the students have now become a nightmare. Exam jitters are common, fret not! Planning your studies will not only help you to crack your board examinations but also helps you to pass it with flying colors. Here are listed 7 important tips which will help you in pursuing academic excellence and secure a meritorious position in 10th Board examinations.
1. Make a Time Table
The very first thing you must focus on is – time management! And the best way to manage your time is creating a good time table. Time is very precious thing! Especially when you have less time in your lap. So, try to make the best use of it. Decide yourself what to study and when to study. Create a timetable which you are sure that you will be able to follow on to.
Study smaller amounts of syllabus every day instead of taking on huge portions of math, physics, chemistry and biology. If you hurry with all the subjects you haven’t yet covered, you will be able to memorize very little of it for exam day. Do check your timetable every morning and set your goals for the day and at end of the day check whether you have been successful in meeting your goals or not. If yes, you are on the right track.
2. Choose the Suitable Environment
Do you have the habit of checking your social network like WhatsApp, Instagram etc in between your studies? Almost everyone does. To prepare effectively, you need to identify a quiet corner of the home which must be free from all hurdles and distractions. Ensure that you are away from electronic gadget like mobile phones, computers etc. We all know how addictive and time consuming such things can be. Try to avoid such things at least for next few couple of days until your examination finished!
Hand over your mobile phone to your parents or switched off and put aside in another room. Taking care of these small things will ensure that there will be no more factors eating into the little time that you have left in your hands! This is the only way to ensure that the time table you just created will not be tampered with!
3. Learn and Write
Reading the chapters and making brief notes of important portions help you prepare effectively and boost your learning capability. Allow yourself to read the important points aloud and write them down after. By doing so, you don’t just SEE the points, but you HEAR them and WRITE them too.
4. Use Visual Cues For Easy memorization
Stick a couple of chart papers on your wall and cupboards and write down all important information, dates, formulae, mnemonics, graph, diagrams that are very difficult to learn. Keeping these chart papers in front of your eyes all the time will be an extremely useful tool when it comes to revision.
Create flashcards for the last moment preparation and carry them around yourself. You can utilize them anywhere even while commuting or standing in a queue somewhere.
5. Know What To Study
