How to prepare for CBSE 10th board exams 2021?

It’s tough being a student in times of the pandemic. Class room lectures, peer learning and fun discussions with friends has been replaced by online classes, minimal peer learning and fun with the walls of your study rooms. The fact that the exam schedule is not out yet makes it even tougher. At a critical juncture in your lives, all you can do is wait and watch!

Well firstly take a deep breath and relax. The fact that you have managed to remain sane in times like these and reached this article means you have been doing just fine.

It is actually easy to do well in grade 10 CBSE board exams provided you plan well and study the smart way. Here are a few tips that will help you get through the preparatory phase before the all awaited grade 10 exams. Be sure following these tips will help you build confidence before you enter the exam hall and believe me “building confidence” is half the battle won.

A) Planning your study schedule:

1. “Planning can make even the toughest job look easy”. A good time table is of utmost importance especially because you are mostly confined to your homes. Divide the syllabus optimally according to the time you have.
It’s important that you keep small, achievable targets and start with easier topics as that will help you to be motivated to continue studying.
2. After you finish a particular topic make sure you refer to the past years board exam papers to see the type of questions asked for that particular topic because questions are often repeated in the board exams.
3. Check for common mistakes made, as that will help you become conscious about the possible mistakes you can commit and hence help you avoid the same during the exams.
4. Try to study in groups as that helps to keep each other motivated and also builds a good pace in covering the syllabus. It is also makes studying a lot more fun.
5. Take advantage of the fact that the syllabus for the board exams has been reduced by 30%. Make sure you are aware about the topics to be covered. Smart work is as important as hard work.
6. Reward yourself after completing the target of the day by enjoying a dessert, watching a movie or treating yourself with one extra episode on Netflix.
7. Writing practice is also important. Online education has certainly taken toll on your writing abilities and it is important that you refine your game in the same. Finishing the written paper comfortably within the allotted time needs some practice and make sure you train yourself for the same.

B) Well being:

1. Maintaining good health is as important as studying.
2. Good health includes both physical and mental wellbeing.
3. Good diet and healthy sleeping habits go a long way in making you feel fresh and be motivated for the day’s tasks.
4. Make sure you have a good study table and that you don’t study on the bed as the latte makes you lazy and pulls you back from finishing your work.
5. Develop a morning routine and try to finish the bulk of your study before 12. This will help you to avoid procrastination and also keep you free for the remaining part of the day to pursue other activities.
6. Make sure you exercise daily as this helps to keep a good supply of oxygen to your brain and keeps you active throughout the day. Even a 15 min HIIT goes a long way in helping you activate your neurons.
7. Make sure you talk to your parents and friends everyday. This will help you to cheer up.

C) Exam Day:

1. Don’t be stressed. Relax and have faith in your preparation.
2. Avoid revising the syllabus till the last minute before your exam. This makes you panic and nothing you read in that period helps. Be confident in what you have prepared and relax.
3. Listen to some music, meditate and breathe consciously. It helps you to calm your mind.
4. Make sure you carry your hall ticket, a bottle of water with a dash of lemon. Keeping your body hydrated is very important.
5. Have a filling breakfast.
6. If allowed carry some candies in your pocket, this helps to keep your sugar level intact and also releases endorphins which help you feel good.

Remember success is a journey not a destination. Even though exams are important they do not decide your future.

Give your best but don’t consider it as a burden. As you will get many opportunities in the future to prove your worth.

But remember, good work is always rewarded appropriately and your fate lies in your hands.

Here’s wishing you all the best for the upcoming exams!

Do well!
