For a thorough exam preparation, it is essential for students to have a proper study plan in order to have maximum efficiency. Given below are some preparation tips and a detailed study plan for students to have a good study session. Continue reading to know more.

Goa Board Class 11 Preparation Tips

Students must prepare properly and efficiently to achieve excellent exam scores, and they must use some solid preparation ideas to do so. These guidelines should be followed by students to gain a better grasp of how to begin exam preparations and finish the syllabus on time. So, to assist better, we at Embibe have compiled some preparation recommendations, which are listed below:

• Learn Basic Concepts
  The first and most crucial suggestion is to grasp and memorise the fundamental concepts/formulae. This will assist in preparing for the exams effectively.
• Revise Every Day
  The best treatment for excellent exam preparation is to make it a habit to revise daily. It will assist in remembering the summary of themes for a long period. To do well in the exam, students only need to revise for half an hour on a daily basis.
• Prioritise Topics (difficulty-level wise)
  Students can easily cover the syllabus in less time when they prioritise the chapters/topics according to their difficulty level. We recommend that they start with the easiest chapters and then the more difficult ones. This technique will assist in gaining better comprehension of the topics while also giving more time to revise afterwards.
• Take Mock Tests
  Class 11’s curriculum builds the groundwork for Class 12. Mock tests are created using the most up-to-date syllabus and exam style. They provide a detailed description of the question paper. Students can also analyse the topics they need to improve by answering the questions in the sample tests.
• Practise Every Day
  One becomes flawless via practice! Therefore, students must solve exercises every day when studying subjects like Mathematics or Physics. This will increase problem-solving abilities as well as the correctness of answers. Students will be able to memorise and grasp the formulae and concepts more readily this way.
• Solve Sample Question/ Previous Year Paper
  Students can improve exam performance by solving sample question papers or previous year question papers. It will provide an overview of the types of questions that were asked and the number of questions asked.
• Make a Study Timetable

Goa Board Class 11 Detailed Study Plan

Creating a schedule will assist in balancing studies with other daily activities. Simply put, this is one of the most crucial things one can do to manage time and plan the day effectively.

• Make a schedule of the daily activities and include study time at regular intervals, dividing it up into different subjects. It’s a good idea to make a list of the subjects the students want to study each day. Once he/she has studied each subject, they should keep checking or crossing it off the list.

• While planning study time, it is a good technique to devise a study strategy for class 11. Don’t take on too many tasks in a single day. Each stream in class 11 contains five subjects, so divide them evenly in a week and devote equal time to each.

• Along with studying, it is critical to have a peaceful and stress-free state of mind. Take a break from the routine once in a while and do something enjoyable. Spend time reading, journaling, going on a walk, listening to music, watching a movie, or doing anything else that will allow the mind to be off the everyday burden of studying.

• This is one of the most popular methods for studying effectively. Choose two subjects for the day and alternate between them (not more than twice). This activity will improve one’s capacity to grasp and recall information. Maintain a weekly rotation of courses and disciplines to avoid boredom and to maximise efficiency in covering more material. Take a theoretical and a practical subject, for example, to help concentrate better.

• One of the most prevalent suggestions for studying in class 11 is to learn how to study smartly rather than cramming things. After completing the 10th grade, most students become perplexed after enrolling in a stream and being exposed to new subjects. The key to learning is to comprehend rather than memorise each subject. A well-understood topic will stick in the long-term memory. It will be easier to grasp a subject while clearing up the basic comprehension of it. 
• Physical exercises are one of the most important aspects of the daily routine to include. It is critical to keep the mind and body busy by participating in a variety of physical activities to allow the body to breathe and flourish. Meditation is another option for students who want to improve their attention and concentration. Meditating for 30 minutes every day can help improve memory by 20%.
