Practice Past Papers

Solve at least two past papers during the day. It’ll hone your writing speed, focus and time management skills, besides making you figure out which topics still need revision. You’ll also get an idea of 1-mark questions that have generally come in the past, and you’ll be better prepared and won’t waste time on attempting them.

Check Marking Scheme

Go through the CBSE’s marking scheme guideline once. The marking scheme and exam pattern has also seen a change this time. Students are advised to take a look at the sample papers to understand the new pattern by visiting the official website - cbseacademic.nic.in. Students should be thorough with the syllabus to know the names of topics and chapters prescribed by the board for the upcoming board exam.

One Chapter A Day!

Make sure you read through one chapter each day for each subject and clear your last-minute doubts. This exercise will ensure that everything is up to date in your mind and you do not miss out on the basics.

Key Notes

Create Key Notes from your NCERT books to review them during the preparation days that you will get between the CBSE Board Examinations. While creating Key Notes, you must ensure that your handwriting is clear and notes are precise.

Revise, Pause & Repeat!

Pause or tiny breaks in between your Revision plan are important to let your brain assimilate the information you’ve gathered in the past hour or two. This pause has to be a complete shut-down for your brain and could be of as less as 5 minutes to 15 minutes span.
