CBSE Class 10 board exams are scheduled to commence from 15th February, 2023 according to the CBSE board date sheet for 2022-23 board examination. There is exactly a month left and students are equally excited and nervous for their first board exam.
The tension among the candidates has begun to rise high. We have been taught from a young age that CBSE class 10th board exams are the ultimate test in a student’s life. Although the statement isn’t inherently true, it is true that class 10 CBSE board exam is a major step in our lives towards more learning and more exposure to streams we would most likely be in our future.
All the subjects that we study upto class 10th, including other co-curricular and extra-curricular activities, prepare us for taking on what would come next in senior secondary, undergraduate or higher and professional levels.
To give an ‘excellent’ overall performance, it is important to prepare and perform well in each and every subject. Read this article to know how to prepare for CBSE Class 10 Board Exam 2023.
So, if you are also contemplating about how to prepare for CBSE Class 10th board examinations, check the exam preparation tips given below:
1. GATHER ALL RESOURCES FOR PREPARATION
Believe it or not, not having all the right resources to study from is one of the worst and most common mistakes that students make. This is because students waste a lot of useful time looking for resources when they should actually be studying. The first step to begin your CBSE Class 10 Preparation is by collecting all the resources that you would require.
2. SEGREGATE THE SUBJECTS OF CBSE CLASS 10 CURRICULUM
Although we need to be the Jack of all trades to excel in CBSE class 10 board exams with flying colours, the truth is that we all have our interests, likes and dislikes. It is imperative that we analyse and acknowledge the subjects that we are weak in and the ones which we excel in. Dividing the subjects into categories will help us in our next step.
For example, if you know that you like Social Science and Mathematics then you group them together while if you find English or Science boring then put it in a separate category.
3. DECIDE PRIORITIES
The next tip is based on the previous tip.
Based on the list that you make by dividing subjects according to your strengths and weaknesses, you should plan on how much time and effort each subject would require from your side. Prioritise perfecting the subjects that you are not confident in while still paying attention to your strong subjects.
4. SET YOUR OWN TIME TABLE FOR BOARD EXAM PREPARATION
Remember when we asked you to gather all the resources?
Yes, now is the time to check your stack of syllabus and go through the whole syllabus, in a subject wise manner, and check the weightage of each topic.
On the basis of the CBSE Board exam date sheet and your analysis of the syllabus and marking weightage, you should now create a time table for yourself. Include more time for subjects that require more work from your side even if they aren’t your favourite. You can even study your favourite subjects as a relaxing part to boost your motivation for the preparations ahead.
5. REST & BREAKS
Go back to the time table you have created for yourself.
Now check if you have given yourself enough time for relaxation. Even if you are getting stressed about the boards, you need to provide your brain and body with a healthy amount of sleep and relaxing, fun activities.
Include time for your hobbies and sleep. Especially make your time table practical based on your weekly and daily schedule. Keep in mind the festivities and holidays where you might not be able to devote the same efforts as on other days.
Also make note of your school hours, extra-classes, coaching classes, etc.
6. KEYWORDS
Now, when you finally begin to prepare any topic of a particular subject, you should focus on the keywords. It is around the keywords that the topics mostly revolve.
You can even make lists of different keywords in relation to different topics which will come in handy when you are trying to look back and briefly revise.
7. FAMILIARITY WITH THEORY (conceptual clarity)
Candidates often think they have a lot of time to read the topics in detail later on but that is seldom true. You should try to familiarise yourself with all the theories and concepts as early as possible in your preparation journey. Your list of keywords would be beneficial for you here.
Read and understand the topics, note down the meanings of difficult words, ask doubts to your teachers, watch relevant audio-visuals, take help of encyclopedias, etc.
PRE - PRE BOARDS
No, that is not a typing error. Pre - Pre Boards is the test that you put yourself through by attempting sample question papers and previous year papers in the time allotted and just like how you would attempt boards. Although pre boards arranged by the schools are to test your preparations, it is always good to test yourself before and after the pre boards to see how ready you are. You also get to analyse your mistakes and weak area which require more attention and work from your end.
