(1) Study regularly:

Do not assume that the final examination is not important enough as a summative assessment. A regular study always leads to good performance.

(2) Review sample papers:

It is advisable that the candidates solve sample question papers and keep practicing till they get a hold of the pattern.

(3) Revise the NCERT books thoroughly:

For CBSE board students, all questions from the NCERT book should be revised thoroughly.

(4) Focus on time management:

Stick to a schedule and solve at least one sample paper every day. The breaks should be pre-planned and short, with a definite end. Try using alarm clocks to mark time.

(5) Practice writing:

Since you will have to do a fair amount of writing during the examination, it is critical to ensure that there is a uniform speed of writing throughout the entire duration of the test to minimise the chances of not completing it.

(6) And finally take care of your mind and body: Relaxing, doing deep breathing exercises, meditating etc. helps you stay completely free of stress. Eat home-cooked food and avoiding oily junk food which will make you lethargic. Staying healthy is the key to a fully functional brain and it will also reduce the chances of your falling sick at this critical stage.

Best wishes. Thank you.
