I have prepared for my board exams for my carrier but some how I feel blank ?

Dear Sandeeshsakthi,

Most of the time, we feel washed out or forget the important things that we memories because we did not pay the amount of attention they needed while studying them.

The key is not studying for hours and hours, in fact, the key is to study effectively for small periods of time and paying full attention while doing that. It's the use and application of some smart study strategies.

Now, firstly I will discuss how you should be preparing each subject individually -

For Chemistry -

To be honest, Chemistry is a lot easier than the other subjects if you read attentively and practice a few things repeatedly over a period of time.

All of the boards' questions come directly from NCERT. Even questions in JEE are from NCERT. Physical chemistry is quite easy and all about learning direct formula and applying it. Solving all kinds of numerical from physical chemistry is a must. You will get a lot of common questions from this portion. For organic chemistry, read the NCERT note down all the important reactions and mechanisms and practice them daily early in the morning. Initially, do this every single morning. Then after a week or so, you can practice it on alternate days, but do stay in touch with the subject and keep revising.

For Physics -

You will have to focus on understanding each and every concept to score a good percentage in Physics. Choose one refresher - either Dinesh or Pradeep and NCERT is must for this too.

Do all the derivations properly (most important for boards)

Numerical is being asked mostly from NCERT books so practice and solved examples and get the exercises solved by a teacher or take the help of a guide book. Please don't ignore any topic if you are unable to understand. Get your doubts cleared as soon as possible and this subject you have to practice every day because the syllabus is quite long too. Note down all the important formulas at one place and derivations too and practice them every night before going to sleep. It will gradually get retained in your memory.

For Maths -

Start with NCERT. Solve each and every question in the NCERT books and then move on to R. D. Sharma. Solving the R. D. Sharma as a reference is a must to score well in maths. You have to practice maths each and every day. Pick up new sums every day and challenge yourself. You can practice maths towards the evening or at night. Stay relaxed and before a few weeks of the final exams do a time-bound question paper solving session which will help you increase your speed of solving.

Generally what happens is students keep concentrating on physics, chemistry, and maths only and forget about the other two subjects which can drop down their overall percentage. But the actually the key is to keep in touch with them because they are the scoring subjects. Thus to get an overall good percentage, you should be to focusing on English and the other subject too from time to time. Maybe 3 - 4 days every week for each of the two subjects.

In the month of February, practice as much of sample papers or previous year question papers as you can. It will give you a fair Idea as what kind of question is asked.

Take breaks. But pay full concentration when studying anything. Stop watching TV or mobile phone but instead, go out take a walk when bored. Try wasting minimum time. Write down your goals and stick it on the wall it will give you the motivation that you need. Study motivational books. Don't worry and don't pressure yourself. And my personal suggestion to remember anything is to try explaining it to a friend or anybody you can, that builds your understanding and confidence as well.

Use motivational quotes too to put on your walls and study table. You can also try some meditation which really helps in increasing concentration.

Good luck!
