Talent and Success can hardly be judged. Rather it can only be measured based on how far one has reached in the process. Success is the result of efforts put in for achieving a particular quest backed by determination and zest. Remember, the possibility of success or failure depends solely on you. It is determined by the efforts you put in, the ideologies you apply and the strategic measures you take to make it possible.

Having said that, the same applies to exams too! Herein, speaking of SSC board exams, one initially needs to ensure one has equipped themselves with the appropriate tools required for learning. This begins with being abreast of the SSC board syllabus and the paper pattern. The next step is developing an exam preparation strategy and gathering appropriate study material to sharpen your revision.

There are barely a few weeks left for the SSC board examination. Considering the fact that you must have already completed 80% of your portion, we have covered a few ways to track your progress through the SSC exam preparation:

Measure your progress in learning

Measuring your progress before the exam is not as difficult as you would consider. Besides, solving as many questions as possible will help in strengthening your hold over the topic in addition to enhancing your subject knowledge. Textbooks are valuable resources as they provide ample amount of practice in terms of textual exercises. However, carrying out additional revisions will further help widen your scope of understanding and completing the syllabus in time.

Reference books, SSC study material and SSC previous year question set put across a great medium to assess one's preparation and comprehend the questions asked, in addition to stimulating students to develop suitable time management techniques.

Solve at least one model paper every alternate day

Continuing from the previous point where we elucidated the importance of 'practice' to perfect your hold over the topic, here we have emphasized on the benefits of model papers. A model paper replicates the SSC board question paper, except for the fact that the former helps in acquainting students with the format.

Ideally, it will introduce candidates to the construction of questions and the marking scheme and reduce the phobia surrounding board exams. Besides, solving model question papers gives you a chance to modify your revision techniques in order to focus on the more difficult topics while evaluating your potential for SSC boards.

Refrain from copying others' strategy

You can never really succeed in your endeavours if you continue copying others' strategies. You need to plan out your own strategy based on your strengths and weaknesses. On scrutiny, you would realize that your biggest competitor is none other than yourself. This mindset will help you plan out a perfect strategy to overcome your own limits and excel while conquering strenuous challenges.

How to do it?

  • Create a plan listing the time required for each topic.
  • Identify your strong and weak points.
  • Strike a balance by learning newer topics, revising completed ones and continuing self-assessment simultaneously.

Wrap up your preparation one month in advance of your exam

During this period, keep your books aside and refrain from starting any new topic. However, go on to refine what you have already learned through practice and perfect it further.

Benefit: It will ensure you gain a perfect foothold on the topic that you have already revised. Besides, it will save your time in going through the ordeal of starting a new topic from scratch.
