Master your Syllabus

Studying thoroughly is crucial for scoring good marks. Go through every corner of the book and get an in-depth understanding of the high-weightage topics. Prioritise your learning list and work accordingly. Allocate time for every subject as each subject carries equal marks. 

Work on your Weaknesses

Identify your weak areas by attempting mock tests and practice tests. Focus and improvise them with the help of an expert or your mentor.  It is break time and you will get enough time to study and improve your preparation to excel in the board exam.

Revise Regularly

Revision helps in better retention. Incorporate space for revision as it will reinforce the concept and its application. Utilise tools such as flashcards, notes, quizzes, mnemonics, and flow diagrams to do fast and effective revision.

Practise Sample Papers

Practising previous year’s exam papers and sample papers under a simulated exam environment will help you accelerate your exam speed and perform under the pressure of the real exam. It will also help you in improving your real exam score. The result of such a test also identifies the strengths and weaknesses on which you can work during this winter break.

Effective Time Management

Utilise your holiday time and prepare a study schedule. Complete leftover topics, do not hesitate to seek expert guidance. Clarify your doubts, use additional resources for practising more, as practice makes a man perfect, and discuss challenges faced by you with your peers and teachers.

Utilize Resources

Relying on NCERT for concept understanding is very important. In addition, utilise the additional resources to practise numerical, and solve multiple choice questions as they are going to be an integral part of the board examination. Also, solve some case studies-based questions with the real-time application of the topic to answer the competency-based questions in the board exam.

Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle

With your studies, prioritise your health. Include short breaks between study sessions and eat a nutritious diet that includes green leafy vegetables and fruits. Exercise regularly, and meditate to relax your mind. During the break, go for a short walk. Talk to your parents and friends regularly to keep them up to date on your preparations. A healthy body leads to a healthy mind, so stick to a healthy routine. At last, get enough sleep at night to be relaxed and refreshed.

Have Confidence in Your Abilities
