In the words of Alexander Graham Bell “Before anything else, preparation is the key to success.” Let me jot down a few quick tips to help you sail smoothly through the gusty wind of this year’s board exam. Firstly, NCERT textbooks are the bible of the CBSE exam, hence thorough revision of these texts is necessary. Subject specific revision of concepts by maintaining a timetable is the need of the hour. Do reiterate formulas, theorems, grammar concepts, diagrams, map work, chronological dates using flow charts and mind maps. Additionally, writing enhances flair, clarity, and accuracy hence, solving CBSE sample papers would work wonders. Aid from reliable resources, teachers, parents, and elders to clarify doubts will add feathers to your prep in the right direction. Moreover, students should avoid using search engines to gather content since they often choose information that is overwhelming and confusing rather than accurate and age appropriate. Listening to music, gardening, painting are great stress busters for the young minds during this period. Savouring home cooked delicacies and maintaining balanced hydration throughout the summer promotes sustained energy and a sense of well-being. It is advisable to avoid late-night study sessions and instead prioritize early morning study routines to enhance academic performance. So, get set ready for the board exam 2025-26.
