CBSE 12th Board Exam Tips - Time management Tips 2

CBSE 12th Board Exam Tips - Time management Tips 2


Weekly Reviews

Weekly reviews and updates are also an important strategy. Take a day out to review yourself and your strategy. See where you intended to be and where you are, at the end of the week.

This may prompt a question or two about something you don’t quite understand, to ask about in class, or after.  It also demonstrates to your  teacher that you are interested and have prepared.

By following this, even though you won’t magically get more hours in a day, but you will be able to more effectively manage the time you have. And in terms or what you get done and how you feel, that will make all the difference.

Time Management Tips:

Set Priorities

Prioritize your tasks. Don't just rush from task to task throughout the day. Review the list of what you have to do that day at the day's start and then pick out the things that you 'must do' that day. (Try to keep these 'must-dos' to three or less for starters.) Then focus on getting those things done. At the end of the day, you'll have a feeling of accomplishment, no matter what else got messed up or went wrong.


Be Realistic

Too many of us are stretched too thin because we've bought into the myth that everyone can (and should) do it all. We should all work full-time, spend quality time with our children and spouses and pets, spend time with our friends, do volunteer and committee work, get involved in causes, work at staying fit and healthy, and spend time relaxing and rejuvenating ourselves.
Make a time table

Plan

As your school term begins and your course schedule is set, develop and plan for, blocks of study time in a typical week.  Blocks, ideally are around 50 minutes, but perhaps you become restless after only 30 minutes? Some difficult material may require more frequent breaks. Shorten your study blocks if necessary—but don’t forget to return to the task at hand!  What you do during your break should give you an opportunity to have a snack, relax, or otherwise refresh or re-energize yourself.

Exercise and Meditate
Exercise and meditation help improve concentration. Many of the athletes and sports professionals regularly employ meditation methods. Studies have found a direct correlation between concentration exercises (meditation) and the performance level of sports professionals.

Meditation strengthens the mind, it comes under control and is able to provide effective guidance to the physical body to effectively execute all its projects. Psychological Exercises are a powerful way of improving concentration and improving mental strength.

So go for a walk in the park early in the morning before you start studying or spend 15 minutes meditating, adopting yoga poses like the Lotus Pose.

Plan your day well. Like a good meal, it is important to have all the essential ingredients while studying as well. Do not have all easy subjects/topics in a day or do not over burden yourself with topics that you find difficult. To maximize your output, start your “study day” with a light subject for an hour or so, once you get warmed up, take up a heavy subject or a topic.

Study that for 2 hours or so and gradually increase the level of preparation. For example, if you find Mathematics tough and English easy, start your study day by reading a chapter or 2 from your NCERT literature text book for English.

After you are done with English, solve a topic from Mathematics for 2 hours. Gradually increase the level of difficulty of the questions you attempt. Once you are through with this exercise, take a break for a while and resume with a topic you are relatively comfortable with.

CBSE 12th Board Exam Tips - Start solving practice papers:

CBSE 12th Board Exam Tips - Start solving practice papers:


Start solving practice papers: Collect as many previous years’ question papers and solve them within time limit. Ask your school teacher if he/she can check it for you as in my case and ask them to point out the mistakes that you made(Most Important). Work on the areas pointed out and retake the tests and repeat. I would recommend “Together With” strictly for it’s practice papers. As said earlier, do not read theory from it, NCERT suffices that.
