- You should be aware of your own strengths and weaknesses and prepare your study schedule accordingly.
- Maintain a positive outlook and begin your studies as soon as possible.
- Try to write and practice the majority of the chapters by yourself, including the computations. For example, problems based on computations may appear in several Mathematics chapters. Therefore, it is preferable to practice and solve them on paper by yourself.
- While studying the 12th syllabus, if you are finding any difficulty, we at Embibe are here to help you. We have developed several study tools and practice sessions for the class 12th syllabus.
- Prepare a detailed timetable so that you can study every day in an orderly manner.
- Spend a little more time on the subject and topics you feel are difficult.
- If there is any confusion, ask all your doubts to your teachers or elders, or you can use the Embibe platform. They can answer all of your questions.
- Try to study every day to finish all the topics prior to the examination, and gradually, one will get time to revise every topic.
- Know the chapter weightage of each subject.
Delhi Board Class 12 Exam Taking Strategy
Giving your best in the examination is as important as the preparation process. You might have completed the preparation of all subjects with proper understanding, revision, mock test, etc. However, to score well in the exam, answering all the questions within a prescribed time limit is important.
- Before starting the preparation, go through the entire syllabus properly.
- Know your weak and strong areas in the syllabus which will help you to prepare your study schedule accordingly.
- Don’t forget to take down notes during the exam preparation.
