Preparing for your CBSE Exam
Achieving good results is important to almost every student. In order to perform well academically you need to have definite strategies in place for your learning. Also pay attention to how you learn and what works best in remembering details when you study. According to the learning patterns that will help you, you can plan what to do.
Read actively: When you are preparing for your exams, casually reading through content will not help you remember. Understanding is important, so is active reading. Use a highlighter or a notepad to connect key terms in your text books to the concepts under that. When you work in this manner, you are engaging in learning actively and this will also keep you more alert and focused.
Eat right and get plenty of fresh air and exercise between your breaks. Learning well and doing well are closely related to your mental and physical state. It is important to ensure you eat the right food, don’t snack on overly oily items and also spend enough time getting ample exercise. The more carefully you work on these aspects, the better you will perform in the long run. If you want to stay healthy and also want to be able to achieve your goals, then make sure you follow these instructions. Just as important as everything else is getting proper sleep. Unless you sleep well, you cannot learn properly as you will be too tired to understand and assimilate information that you are reading.
Make notes as you learn. No matter how much you read, sometimes it takes multiple sensory activities to make your learning more concrete. When you write, you are reading and also reinforcing what you read by summarizing it in little notes at the end. Make flash cards, which you can use for revisions when close to your exam.
Work your way through the content based on marking schemes for each chapter. Many a time, you tend to skip portions or miss important details and then end up with a bad surprise when a heavy chunk comes from the portion you skipped. To avoid this, know the weightage for topics and chapters.
Use alternate resources to learn. You will invariable get bored of reading a text book time and again. If you can supplement it with other information from the net or from some interactive learning tools the next time you revise, then it will stay fresh in your mind.
