As the CBSE 12th Board exam date has already been announced i.e 15th Feb to 2nd April, it is the right time for the students to devote themselves to the exam preparation completely. Class 12 CBSE Board exam preparation requires devotion and a perfect strategy to excel in the final exam. From identifying the weak areas to multiple rounds of revision is the need of the hour.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are overwhelmed and wondering how to ace CBSE class 12 exam, here are a few tips for scoring good marks in the final exam:<\/span><\/p><p><strong>Have a good grip on the syllabus:<\/strong><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is the primary thing that every student should do before starting revision for the final exam. Having a good hold over the entire syllabus helps them to bifurcate it into the strong and weak areas. This way they can plan their days and devote more time to weaker sections.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><strong>Go through Previous year\u2019s questions (PYQs):<\/strong><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many times students miss this very crucial step during their Class 12 CBSE Board exam preparation. PYQs not only help students get an idea about the pattern but also provide a brief idea about areas that need special focus.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><strong>Follow the CBSE Board-approved books:<\/strong><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Students often follow various reference books, but it is advised that before jumping onto advanced books they should go thoroughly to the CBSE Board-approved books. This way they will get a good hold over the CBSE curriculum.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><strong>Revision is the key:<\/strong><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Skipping the revision session is one of the most common mistakes made by many students. Once the topic is done its revision should be done on the same day or the next day. This helps in retaining the various complex concepts. Keeping a note of the weak areas during the revision session would be beneficial as those topics can be revised again during the next study session.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><strong>Involve more writing:<\/strong><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As per a study, writing helps in better retention and better brain activity. Students should be involved more in writing during preparation. Once the concept is cleared, they should write it down for better retention, it will also be beneficial during final revision.<\/span><\/p><p><strong>Keep the study material handy:<\/strong><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keeping the study material handy helps the students during the final revision before the exam. For this students can prepare various mind maps for complex topics or use sticky notes or prepare short notes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><strong>Practice Test:<\/strong><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Importance of practice is not a hidden secret and if you are wondering how to ace CBSE class 12 exam, practising mocks is one of the most common tips. While students practise mocks they need to do it in an exam-like environment that includes a time-bound completion and a quiet place.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><strong>Plan the day:<\/strong><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Planning the day efficiently is one of the most crucial parts of the class 12 CBSE Board exam preparation. It is advised to plan a day before and act accordingly. For planning students should dedicate separate hours for weak and strong areas and a special hour during the night for the revision sessions.<\/span><\/p><p><strong>Time management:<\/strong><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Proper time management is the key to better execution. Students should make sure to follow their daily timetable and complete the self-assigned task in the given time frame.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><strong>Take small breaks:<\/strong><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes due to exam pressure, students do not include small breaks in the study plan. A small break in between is important for their refreshment. They can also include the Pomodoro techniques that include 25 min of study and 5 minutes of break.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is advisable to follow the above-stated CBSE Class 12 Exam Plan and Tips to perform well in the Board exam. A well-planned strategy and thoughtful execution would assure good marks in the final exam and a bright career ahead.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are looking for the best CBSE schools in Bangalore, consider Ekya Schools.
