Preparation Tips

Different people have different ideas as to how to work out the questions and solve problems and study, and that’s fine. Having your way to study is great. It is best to not underestimate the exam. See it like an enemy and the main thing is to never underestimate the enemy. Confidence is fine but overconfidence isn’t.

Now there are two ways people do this. Subject wise and Chapter-wise

Chapter-wise:

• While doing chapters, the best thing is to do short tests after you are done with every chapter
• Analyze yourself and understand where you tend to make mistakes and make a list
• After the syllabus is complete, work on the list
• Fix your weak spots and be prepared
• Take plenty of mock tests

Subject wise:

• It is suggested to always start with the difficult subjects but there is no such rule
• Take your time with your weak spots provided you start your preparations early
• Test yourself frequently. Make sure what you know is perfect and well versed
• Take many mock tests

Study Plan

• One thing the schools are doing perfect is having a consistent place and time for a subject every-week. A constant change in the environment and time of day could make it hard to focus and sometimes you might miss out on free time or study time.
• Make a timetable. It’s called a study plan for a reason. Give ample time for studies but don’t forget to add some time to enjoy with friends or just watch TV. You’re studying for an exam, not sitting through detention.
• Keep a healthy diet and keep a bottle of water close while studying. Try to refrain from moving around too much.
• Don’t sit for long hours at a stretch, you’ll tire yourself out.
• Map the concepts. Literally. Make flow charts, Draw a building that is connected by the main points of the concept, make a song out of the lesson. Get creative. Not everybody can sit and take in knowledge from reading. Try acting it out or teach a fellow classmate or friend. There are so many ways of learning.
• Plan your exam day. Get plenty of sleep, the 4 A.M. revision on exam day won’t help if you are asleep during the exam. Eat something so you don’t feel hungry and start focusing on food. Revise but don’t study just before the exam. It confuses sometimes.

Tests are essential but the most essential to the study plan is sanity. Sanity and proper mental health. This is just an exam and there is no reason to have suicidal thoughts or self-harm just because you feel like your result is inadequate. Your life is precious and is important and an exam does not determine your whole life. There is much more to life than an exam and it is something this generation has to remember.

The exams were postponed due to COVID-19 and everybody is supposed to be at home. We suggest using this time to focus on preparing for the upcoming JEE and NEET examinations and hope everybody has a good time. Stay safe!
