Preparation Tips

  1. Make a conceptual list of key concepts
    The simplest method is to make a list of all the important concepts and formulae for easy reference and revision. You won’t miss any important topics if you list the chapters, and you will easily review each subtopic and concept. You can also recollect concepts simply by looking at the list.
  2. Make a study schedule
    Make your course material visible by dividing it into sections. Make a schedule of which portions will be studied today, tomorrow, and so on once they’ve been split. By breaking down big amounts of course material into manageable study sections, this technique enhances study sessions.
  3. Manage how much time you spend studying
    Study for 25 minutes at a time, pausing for 5-minute breaks. This strategy permits your brain to move all the information from short-term to long-term memory for several days.
  4. At the end of each day, review for 15 minutes
    Make a list of the most important topics or lessons from each class that day. You will be more likely to recall this knowledge later when studying or writing your examinations if you do it this way, you can also utilise these notes for a quick review!
  5. Make an effort to write more
    Study your concepts extensively, but be sure you can write what you’ve learned. Writing, rather than just reading, has been shown to aid in memorising any concept for a longer time.
  6. Closely examine your learning environment
    It’s best to have a well-lit, open area with an upright chair, as well as a quiet study place in the back of the room.

Exam Taking Strategy

Here, we have provided a detailed exam taking strategy for students to score well in their exams. It is advised to all the students to go through the pointers given below to know more about the same.

  1. Be well-versed in all of the topics that will be covered in the exam. It is better to perform a memory dump.
  2. Always try to arrive early for exams so you may relax and prevent any last-minute rush.
  3. Always think about how you may make the most of your exam time.
  4. Don’t get too upset, have a positive attitude and approach the exam with confidence, attempting to answer all the questions.
  5. Don’t spend too much time attempting questions in which you are unsure of the answer.
  6. In addition to answering the questions in the same order as they were asked, you can write the answers to the questions you know the most.
  7. Don’t forget to fill out the answers papers with the correct question number.
  8. Answer all the questions; don’t leave any.
  9. During the examination, pay close attention to all of the invigilator’s instructions.
  10. Before handing the answer sheets to the invigilator, double-check that you’ve answered all of the questions and that the question numbers are given in the correct order.

 

Detailed Study plan

  1. Math is a real subject. You can’t just ‘learn’ chapters; you must first understand concepts and then practise them.
  2. Memorise key definitions, formulae in Maths, equations in chemistry.
  3. In theory, subjects make a list of the main points and learn them.
  4. Use the Embibe platform and create infographics, flowcharts. Connect between the content and your own life. Linking knowledge can help you remember it for longer periods. Use mind maps for remembering important information.
  5. Take breaks in between, and plan your timetable accordingly.
  6. Complete the syllabus at least twice and take as many mock examinations as possible.
  7. Practise previous exam papers or view sample answers. This will help you in understanding the structure of the questions and how to formulate your answers.
  8. Begin studying as soon as possible.
  9. Make use of your class notes and textbooks.
  10. Make a schedule for the time you’ll be studying.
  11. After your main study session, go over all of the information at least once more.

Exam Counselling

Student Counselling

The modern education system has been designed to allow a child to move beyond traditional rote learning in order to develop their own intellect and inculcate conceptual thinking and decision-making abilities in tomorrow’s leaders. After all, the school is the main source of information for students. As a result, school serves as the first most important counselling platform for students to learn about the workings of life. 

Furthermore, if you are currently in high school, you are at a crucial stage in your life when you are old enough to begin thinking about your future and creating an action plan. Students need career assistance in order to explore and plan for future career pursuits that are suited to their particular interests, talents, and beliefs. Participation in career guidance helps career preparation and management by strengthening the relationship between academic and professional experiences.

Parent/Gaurdian counselling

Parent counselling is a caring and compassionate service that aims to provide knowledge, guidance, resources, and emotional support. Parent counselling provides the skills to recognise concerns that your child may be experiencing and the communication skills to assist your child without humiliating them for seeking support. The 6th grade is the start of a future career. It’s the perfect time to inspire your child to follow their dreams and develop the skills they require. It’s only natural for 6th graders to seek career guidance. One of the most crucial milestones in an individual’s life is career choice, which requires self-analysis, critical thinking, and decision-making.

List of Future Exam

Competitive exams are now at the core of our educational system. Students and their parents search for important information concerning competitive tests. Most students and parents believe that competitive exams are only held for students in grades 12 and up, although this is not the case. Even for students in class 6, there are a variety of competitive tests and scholarship programmes available. These competitive exams are held to assess a student's mental ability and intelligence quotient, with those who pass receiving a scholarship. For benefit, every student and their parents must get familiar with such competitive exams, as awareness is the first step toward preparedness. Class 6 Olympiad exams serve as a foundation for competitive tests. Parents must provide their children with a solid foundation in the form of these exams. In comparison to prior classes, students in class 6 are expected to solve more questions.
The following are some of the competitive tests that grade 6 students may take:

  • National Talent Search Examination (NTSE): Students are assessed on their Science, Math, Social Science, mental ability, and general information knowledge and understanding. Cash prizes and scholarships for the following academic year are available to qualified students.
  • National Level Science Talent Search Exam (NLSTSE): Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and other general awareness questions are included in this exam.
  • Indian National Olympiad (INO): Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Astronomy, and Junior Science are included in the syllabus. A five-stage procedure is used in this exam. The written exam administered by NSE is the first stage (National Standard Examination).
  • GeoGenius: This exam is designed to spark people's interest in geography. Students must mark the various locations of India on a blank map in this exam.
  • National Interactive Maths Olympiad (NIMO): This exam assesses and evaluates mental and mathematical abilities.

Practical Knowledge/Career Goals

Prediction

Learning from Real World

Learning from the real world allows students to engage in a variety of activities while learning. They can apply what they’ve learned in class to real-life situations both inside and beyond the classroom. When Class 6 students experience things and subject matter from real-life experience, they will be able to express their concerns and rights, gain self-esteem and confidence, and acquire the ability to accept responsibility for themselves.

Future Skills

Coding

Coding, often known as computer programming, is a creative process with limitless possibilities. Different programming languages can be learned to help people succeed in their lives. Some of the programming languages are Java, C, C++, Python, C#, etc.

DIY

DIY activities are basic activities that students can do on their own to learn how to construct models or expand their knowledge of a subject. The Embibe app provides DIY for every grade, subject, and chapter to make learning interesting and purposeful.

IoT

Internet of Things (IoT) connects digital devices, people, machines, appliances, and other objects via wireless networks. It is the link that allows machines and people to communicate with one another. It is thought to be the internet’s future. Smart surveillance, automated transportation, water distribution, improved energy management systems, urban security, and environmental monitoring are examples of internet of things applications primarily used in smart cities. As part of its new endeavour, Delhi Board intends to teach children the fundamentals of IoT.

Career Skills

From Class 6 onwards, students will be offered skill courses or vocational subjects. When students reach class 11 or 12, they will have the required knowledge to make a career decision. The vocational skill course will be a short-duration module, and teachers will only have to devote 12 hours of teaching time to it. Skill courses will be introduced from grades VI to XI in the 2020-21 school year, according to a CBSE circular dated July 7, 2020. The different skill courses are:

  • Artificial Intelligence
