'For those who dare to dream, there is a whole world to win.'

A Board Examination is a primary milestone in every student's life. Students prepare themselves for months in the anticipation of this examination. Some feel nervous and some feel overconfident. However, balance is the key. To drive your woes away and to help you score well, here're a few basic guidelines. 

'Study smart Not hard.'

Studying consistently throughout the year is very important. However, equally important is to study with a proper plan. 

'If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.'

Here is  a '12 month strategy plan' to crack your SSC Board Examinations with flying colours:

APRIL - MAY:

Many schools start their academic year right in the month of April. This is just the beginning of the intense pressure and mounting tension that lies forth. Teachers and parents begin pressurising students to study for long hours and reduce their play hours. However, be your own judge and follow what suits you best. Remember, every person is unique and we all have a different approaches and a way of doing things.

Prepare your own timetable. Allot suitable time for studying and relaxation as per your plan. However, once you set a timetable, follow it strictly. Across these two months, you can steal a few moments of relaxation in April. But do not waste the month of May as Unit Tests are conducted in the month of June and you need thorough preparation for that.

JUNE - JULY - AUGUST: (The most important months):

  • The major portion is covered in these 92 days.
  • Clarify your doubts.
  • Practise what you have learnt.
  • Spend maximum time on conceptual learning.
  • If you waste these months you will not be able to cover your portion later.

SEPTEMBER - OCTOBER - NOVEMBER: (Work on presentation skills)
