Preparation Tips

1. A detailed strategy and a plan for completing your studies is a must to secure good marks in any examination.
2.  You must have a good understanding of your strengths and weaknesses and should plan the preparations accordingly.
3. You should keep a positive attitude and start your preparation journey as early as possible.
4. For chapters involving numericals and lots of calculations, try practising as many problems as you can.
5. If you face any difficulty while studying the Class 8 BSEM syllabus, you can check out Embibe for practice and study. We are here to help you with all your queries. We have a very rich library of learning material and a question bank.
6. Keep a well-disciplined timetable so that you can study every day in an orderly manner.
7. If you have any questions while studying, do not hesitate to seek help from your teachers or elders. Embibe provides students with round the clock doubt clearing support.
8. You can switch subjects or topics while you study, that way you won’t get bored or tired easily.
9. Make sure you finish your whole syllabus well in advance and do not leave a lot to be completed for the end moment.

Exam Taking Strategy

1. Always arrive early for any examinations to avoid the last-minute rush and to have a few moments to relax.
2. You should devise a strategy to use the allotted time efficiently.
3. Do not panic or be stressed out; keep a positive attitude and attempt the examination with confidence.
4. Don’t spend much time reading and answering questions that you are not confident about; leave them for the latter half of the exam.
5. You should not be worried about answering the questions in the same order, and you should first answer those questions that you are more comfortable with, then attempt the remaining questions.
6. Always crosscheck if the questions are numbered correctly in the answer sheets.
7. Try not to leave any questions unanswered. Try to attempt the questions you have some idea of; writing a few steps can also fetch you some marks.
8. Follow all the instructions provided by the invigilator carefully while attempting the examination.
9. Before handing over answer sheets to the invigilator, make sure that you have attempted all the questions.

Detailed Study plan

1. A detailed study plan is a well-structured plan that students create, listing down their learning goals and time to be allocated to each of them.
2. It is preferable to set aside time each day for studying. Spend four to five hours per day by yourself in well-planned studies.
3. If you are studying mathematics, you definitely need a pen and paper to write and practice the mathematical problems.
4. While studying every subject, connect them to real-life situations. It will help you to remember every concept in an easier manner.
5. Embibe has created interesting videos and practice sessions on all the 8th Class topics, and if you need a better understanding of all the concepts, you can use them.

Student Counselling

Counselling helps students to discover their strengths and weaknesses. The exam is the main component of school education in which they are being evaluated in both academic and non-academic or co-curricular areas. From start, it is hard to focus on the ongoing classes and studies. Also, the performance of the students is influenced by their surroundings at school as well as at home.

Parent/Gaurdian counselling

Each child is unique in their ability to learn and succeed. It is the duty of the parents to encourage their child’s strengths wrt to their subject interests and also accept their performance without any regret or putting more pressure. Also, communicate with them as much as possible. Communication is a must to understand if they are facing any challenges of issues while preparation or studying the subjects. Assist your child in dealing with problems in school, studies, and peer groups.-

Dos and Donts

Do’s

• The student should be aware of the exam dates as well as any related notifications.
• Before beginning to study for exams, make a plan.
• A good night’s sleep is also essential before exams.
• All exam-related items, such as a pen, pencil, eraser, scale, and admit card, should be brought.
• During exam periods, the body should be kept hydrated.
• Arrive a few minutes early for the exams.

Don’t

• Revision should not be left until the last minute, such as the day before an exam because we will forget everything if we rush.
• Nothing should be left until the last possible moment. In the final minute, the mind should be relaxed.
• Time should not be wasted by meeting or hanging out with friends simply to unwind.
• Exams are not the time for students to be sluggish. Laziness is the enemy of all.
• The student should not arrive late for the examination.

List of Future Exams Class 8

Exams are one way to bring out students' knowledge, interests, capacity, and potential. Students are promoted from grade 8th to grade 9th based on Continuous Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE). Apart from this school-level examination, there are numerous competitive exams held nationally and internationally each year. These exams enhance students' confidence and interests in subjects.

Some of the competitive exams to which grade 8 students can appear are:

• International Science Olympiad (ISO)
• International Maths Olympiad (IMO)
• English International Olympiad (EIO)
• General Knowledge International Olympiad (GKIO)
• International Computer Olympiad (ICO)
• International Drawing Olympiad (IDO)
• National Essay Olympiad (NESO)
• National Social Studies Olympiad (NSSO)

Some of the competitive exams to which grade 8 students can appear are:

National Talent Search Examination (NTSE): Students are evaluated based on the knowledge and understanding of Science, Maths, Social Science, Mental Ability and General Knowledge. Cash prizes and scholarships facilitate qualified students for the next academic year.

National Level Science Talent Search Exam (NLSTSE): The subjects the students must study for this exam are Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and other general Awareness.

Indian National Olympiad (INO): Physics, Chemistry, Astronomy, Biology and Junior Science are the subjects covered in the curriculum. This exam is divided into five stages. The written exam administered by the NSE is the first stage (National Standard Examination). 

GeoGenius: This exam aims to create interest in geography. Students are asked to mark various locations in India on a blank map.

National Interactive Maths Olympiad (NIMO): This exam assesses and analyses mental and mathematical abilities of students.

Learning from Real World

Real education can connect classroom learning to real-life scenarios for students. When students gain a better understanding of things and subject matter through real-life experience, learning becomes more enjoyable. We must provide our students with ongoing, authentic learning opportunities such as activities, experiments, field trips, group activities, and so on.

Future Skills

It is a creative approach to learning that includes activities and projects. Drama can be used to teach subjects such as English and Hindi, while debate, surveys, and fieldwork can be used to teach social science topics, etc. Science subjects can be experienced in the form of experiments, field studies etc. Some mathematics topics, such as profit and loss, area measurement, and so on, should be taught to students through do-it-yourself activities. Embibe App provides DIY activities for each Class, each subject and each chapter to make your learning joyful and meaningful.

Career Skills

Understanding diversity in the workplace, listening skills, language skills, research skills, planning, leadership skills, being emotionally balanced, self-survey, exploring knowledge, communication skills, and so on are all strengthened by a solid foundation in education. This can be ensured by giving opportunities for all students and encouraging them at all stages of their development. This can be accomplished through the provision of real-life experiences and Do It Yourself activities.

Career Prospects/Which stream to choose

As Class 8 is an early stage of secondary education, career selection is not an easy job, but students are advised to be aware of career opportunities in order to pursue their interests. After Class 10, the student can pursue their interests in Science, Commerce, Arts, Fine Arts, and so on.
