Now, there are some guidelines and tips which you must follow few months before your exams, some just a day before your exams and some on the day of your exam.Let's discuss them one by one.

GUIDELINES TO BE FOLLOWED FEW MONTHS BEFORE YOUR EXAMS

START REVISING: 

Revision for exams

 Now that there are only a few months left for Boards Examination, you must start your revision work.Try to do it chapterwise for each subject and do not study one subject for a whole day as you may get bored studying just one subject for the entire day.What you can do instead is make a combination of subjects to make the studying process more interesting.For example, study maths for few hours and then switch to science or english and so on.

•  While studying highlight important points and mark important questions.This will help you in revising your chapters and subjects efficiently.

• Keep a habit of making flowcharts as it a very interesting method of learning.

• Note down all the important formulas(for maths), Chemical Reactions(for science), Important dates(for history) on one paper as it will help you in your last minute revision. 

• Keep a habit of reading chapters from your textbook.

SOLVE QUESTION PAPER OF PREVIOUS YEARS:

Solve previous years question paper

  Solving question paper of previous years will help you a lot during your 10th Board Examinations.Allot a time period for a paper and solve those papers as if you are appearing for your exams.

I would suggest you to even check your own papers.Become your own teacher so that you can clearly understand your strengths and weaknesses.This will help you in avoiding silly mistakes in your actual exams and tests, especially in your Board Exams.

STUDY WITH YOUR FRIENDS:

Studying with friends

Studying with your friends can help you in solving all the doubts and queries that you have as they may be having a better understanding of the topic.You may even teach your friends as it is said that teaching is the best form of learning.

Also, make sure that you study with students who are serious about studies or else you will just end up wasting your time.

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF:

 

Take care of yourself during exams

1)EAT HEALTHY: Eating healthy food during your board examination is very important for you as it will keep you in a good frame of mind while keeping you healthy and energetic.Some healthy food to eat during exams are:-

•  Fresh Fruits and Vegetables such as bananas, carrots, spinach, etc

• Dry fruits such as almonds, walnut, etc

2)DRINK LOTS OF WATER: We all know the benefits of drinking water during exams yet we fail to do so.Keep a habit of always filling up a bottle full of water and keeping it in your room which will help you in drinking more water.

3) PREVENT INJURY: Do not indulge in any activity that will cause an injury during exams.

4)MEDITATE: Meditate for at least 10 minutes every day.Doing so will help you in eliminating stress and anxiety during Board Examination.

 Always do a last minute check of your stationeries.Make sure you are not forgetting to carry anything.

MAKE SURE OF THE LOCATION OF THE EXAMINATION CENTRE:

 Know the exact location of your examination centre i.e how much time it will take to reach there, etc.(A general rule of thumb is visiting the examination centre few days before the first exam starts so that you can get the exact idea)

CHECK SEAT NUMBER AND BLOCK NUMBER:

 Make sure to check the seat number and block number in the list provided by the school.

REVISE ONLY THE THINGS WHICH YOU HAVE PREPARED:

 Do not revise anything extra as it will only confuse you more.So revise only the things which you have prepared during the year.

SLEEP PROPERLY:

 Make sure that you get an adequate amount of sleep on the night before your exams as you may get headaches during exams.You may even feel distracted or fail to concentrate during your Board Exams. 

 

GUIDELINES TO BE FOLLOWED ON THE DAY OF YOUR EXAMS

DON'T LEAVE YOUR HOME WITHOUT HAVING BREAKFAST:

 

Eat healthy breakfast on the day of an exam

 Don't leave your home without having breakfast.Have something light and healthy but make sure that you eat.

CARRY A BOTTLE OF WATER:

 

Carry a water bottle and drink lots of water

Always carry a bottle of water in your Boards Examination Hall and make sure to drink water on a regular basis during exams.

WEAR LOSE AND COMFORTABLE CLOTHES:

 

Wear comfortable and loose clothes on the day of examination

Wear loose and comfortable clothes so that you can write freely and easily.It will also help you to avoid distraction which happens due to uncomfortable clothes.

Tip No 1:-

 DO NOT STUDY TILL THE LAST MINUTE

Students reading until last minute during exams

Almost all the students make this exam mistake of studying the answers till the last minute of the exam(sometimes even till the teacher snatches the book).This is not a good thing to do as it only builds up stress and you end up forgetting even the things that you remembered in the first place.This practice does more harm than good.So do not study till the very last minute and avoid this exam mistake as much as you can.

SOLUTION-

1. Take deep breaths before the exam is going to start.This will help you to relax and concentrate.
2.  Keep assuring yourself that you know it all and use positive affirmations such as-"I am confident","I am relaxed during exams", etc
3. There are many good meditation music and concentration building videos on Youtube which will help you to study effectively.Do listen to them before your exams and you will notice magical results and you will avoid the worst exam mistake of stydying till last minute.
4. LetsTute has also created many awesome concentration building videos to help you study and prepare before exams on LetsTute Youtube channel.Do check them out:-

•     Exam stress relief meditation
•     Remember what you studied  

Tip No 2:-

DON'T START WRITING PAPER WITHOUT READING QUESTION PAPER CORRECTLY

Students do not read question paper correctly

 Many students make this exam mistake and it affects their marks in a very bad way.Not reading question paper properly will lead to silly mistakes.Sometimes due to not reading question paper correctly, students write more answers then asked, miss out on writing some answers and sometimes write a different answer for a different question.This is probably the worst exam mistake students make during their exams.

SOLUTION-

1. Properly read your question paper twice and read all the main questions.
2. Check how many answers are asked to be written in the question paper for each main question and assign time to each question accordingly.
3. Ask the supervisor if you have any doubt regarding the question paper. 
4. Turn the paper and check if there are more questions on the next page and assign time to each question accordingly. 

Tip No 3:-

DO NOT FORGET TO WRITE SKIPPED QUESTIONS 

Skipped question circled with a pencil

Sometimes during exams, students leave questions in between to write later but that later never comes due to time constraints or in situations where students forget to write that skipped question.This causes the students to lose their valuable marks in exams.

SOLUTION-

1. Circle the skipped question with a pencil during exams and do write that answer when you finish your entire paper.
2. Keep the required amount of time that you need to write that answer in your mind and write the paper accordingly by maintaining a good amount of writing speed. 

Tip No 4:- 

DON'T GIVE UP

Student giving up when they don't know certain answers

Many students give up when they don't know certain answers in their exams.This affects their entire paper and they even miss out on writing answers that they do know.

 SOLUTION-

1. Do not lose hope.Firstly write all the answers that you do know.
2. Do not leave any question unanswered.Every mark matters so try to write as much as you can.
3. Even if you write 2 to 3 points, you will get some marks for it even if the answer is incomplete(At least it is better than getting nothing)

 Tip No 5:- 

DO NOT SPEND A LOT OF TIME ON ONE QUESTION IN EXAMS

Student spending a lot of time on one question

Many students make this exam mistake and spend a lot of time on one question in two cases-

1)When they get stuck on that question and try to figure out a way to solve the question.

2)When they have complete knowledge of that answer and try to write it all irrespective of the marks it carries.

 In both these cases, students face time issues and miss up writing some important questions ahead carrying more marks.

 SOLUTION-

1. If you get stuck on a particular question, try to leave it as it is at that point and after solving all the questions, come back and solve that one.
2. Analyse how much marks a question carries and write answer accordingly(Writing extra won't give you more marks)

 Tip No 6:-

DO NOT DISCUSS PAPER AFTER EXAMS

Students discussing question paper during exams

 This is perhaps the worst exam mistake a student makes during exams.If you discuss your paper and find out your answer is different from your friends answer, you will stress out unnecessarily which will affect your coming papers.

SOLUTION-

1. No matter how good or bad your paper is, do not discuss your paper.
2. You will not be able to change the results of that paper now, so there is no need to discuss the paper now.
3. If you find that your friends are discussing the paper, ask them not to do so or else go away from them during that time. 

 Here is a quick recap-

1)Do not read till the last minute

2)Don't start writing the paper without writing question paper correctly.

3)Do not forget to write skipped questions

4)Don't give up

5)Do not spend a lot of time on one question.

6)Do not discuss paper after exams.

That's it guys, if you follow these tips properly, you will definitely avoid these exam mistakes score more than 95%.
