7 tips to crack your board exams like a topper!

Preparing for your board exams the smart way can help you bid goodbye to all your stress and anxiety. Check out these 10 tips from a board exam topper to help you score like one!

1. Examination pattern overview

It is imperative for students to go through previous years question papers and sample papers to determine important topics/chapters for every subject paper.

Once you have a list in place, it is very easy for students to prioritise important and marks heavy topics while preparing for the examination and allotting more time for their preparation.

2. Preparation of short notes

It should be second nature to students to prepare notes on every topic as they cover them. Prepare separate notes for each chapter and maintain a different note-book for every subject.

Make sure that the notes are comprehensive and cover important key words from each sub-heading of the chapter. This note-book must serve as a ready reckoner when the student needs to revise the syllabus in a limited period of time.

3. Importance of underlining and highlighting

Students tend to mindlessly highlight and underline most words in a sentence in their text book, but if these tools are used effectively they can help improving our memorisation abilities.

Always make sure that only important key words are being underlined/highlighted as doing so and going over them repeatedly will help students photographically capture the concepts.

4. Give preference to your text book over reference books


Most of the time, many of us get consumed in trying to attempt all questions in every available reference book rather than focusing on mastering our prescribed text book.

This can be very detrimental to your preparation and you must always focus on being thorough with your prescribed text book first rather than jumping to other books.

5. Attempt all past years' papers

Examiners tend to repeat questions and hence, it is always a good idea to solve past years’ questions papers.

While doing so, make sure you mark repeat questions and make sure you practice these questions a number of times as they are most likely to repeated.


6. Thoroughly revise the easy chapters

Once students are neck deep in board exam preparation, they figure out the difficulty level of each chapter.

Once determined, students must not leave any stone unturned in their preparation re the easy topics as they will prove to be most scoring for the students.

7. Do not neglect the languages

Usually, students with STEM subjects or commerce students with Maths tend to focus more on all subjects other than languages.

Please bear in mind that all subjects put together will be calculated to arrive at your percentage. Therefore, it is important to not neglect a subject like English and make it your strong point to boost your percentage.

This is just an idea but if you study no-one can beat you ...
