While the subjects, such as English, biology, business, etc., require well-structured notes with key terms, learning, and writing skills. Here are a few tips that can help you to improve your class 12th Board Exam Preparation and take your score to the next level:

  1. Know Your Syllabus

Many students do not bother to look at the syllabus. They just start preparation. But it is important to have a look at the syllabus so that you can plan your timetable and track your progress while preparing for the exam.

  1. Prepare a Timetable

A study timetable helps you to define “what” and “when” to study. This format of preparation helps you to complete your syllabus on time, with some scope left for the revision time. 

  1. Use Previous Year’s Exam Paper

Solve at least the last 10 years’ exam papers from the board exam to understand the trend, exam difficulty level, and weightage for each topic. Mark the high-weightage topics and frequently asked questions for your preparation.

  1. Revision Timetable

Revision is an important part of any exam preparation. If you revise the topics, it will be easy to recall and remember them during the exam time. Use flashcards, formula sheets, flowcharts, and labeled diagrams to remember the key terms.

  1. Writing Practice

Board exams comprise a different set of questions, such as short answers, long answers, and very long answers. A structured pattern is required to solve these questions. Therefore, you need to practice writing such answers in a structured way to improve your speed and accuracy.

  1. Avoid Fatigue

Sitting for long periods can lead to fatigue and tiredness. Incorporate breaks between the long study hours to refresh and rejuvenate your memory. Go for a walk, talk to your friend or family member, or indulge in some leisurely activities to remain fresh and energised during the preparation.

  1. Take Care of Your Health

Illness can lead to wastage of time, and you will get off the track from your preparation. Therefore, it is advised to have nutritious home-cooked food, do some light exercise or meditate, and get adequate sleep while you are preparing for the board examinations.

  1. Choose the Right Study Material

Do not get overwhelmed with a pile of books. Choose your study material wisely. Rely on the trusted and latest edition of the books in addition to the NCERT. The more books you refer to, the more confusion will be created. Some of the best books for physics, chemistry and biology class 12th preparation are:

Physics: HC Verma Vol. 2: Fundamentals of Physics, NCERT
