Board Examination Tips
Learners, parents and teachers get tensed during the board examination years and some tips are provided here to lessen the tension and improve the gains by adopting proper strategies.
EXAMINATION
The Board Exam Year
Class X & Class XII
Learners, parents and teachers get tensed as soon as Class 9 is finished and the Board exam year starts. Usually the preparations start during the vacation time after Class 9 exams are over.
But the main problem is what to study, how to study and how to retain what we study till the end of the year.
We can start with studying the textbook lessons to understand the concepts. But that will not be enough as usually the board questions test application of concepts learned.
There are many books available in the market to help the learners. One such example is materials published by Oswaal Books. Oswaal has flashcards that list the specific technical words and concepts needed to be revised, special flashcards for things to be memorised, and a small test with application questions.
This can be further practised with their Question Bank that lists all the possible questions for each chapter along with solutions. To make us practice sample question papers in the board style they also have a separate sample questions book. We can time ourself and take these board exam practice tests and train ourselves to complete the question paper in time and assess our performance using their answer key.
Don't we often wonder how some learners obtain top results in these examinations and what type of answers they write? Well, Oswaal Books also provides us with sample answers by learners who topped in previous years.
These books are available in digital formats as well as in printed book formats. If we are comfortable reading from a mobile phone, laptop or PC, we can get the digital one. Otherwise we can go for the printed book. In the digital one we can highlight texts, see all our notes in one place, search and find topics or tests we are interested in. In the book format we can do all these manually.
Let's take one sample lesson and see how this works out.
