Preparation Tips

Class 10 Board Exams play an important role in students’ education, laying the base for competitive exams, and securing a good position in future jobs. It is essential that students study primarily from their Meghalaya Board Class 10 textbooks and then move on to other study resources. The below exam tips will help you perform your best in MBOSE SSLC exam 2023:

• Check the MBOSE SSLC syllabus and marking scheme thoroughly before beginning the exam preparation.
• Give importance to those chapters that carry more weightage and highlight them. Prepare from these important topics first, and then move on to the lesser-weightage chapters.
• Never make rote memorisation your friend. Always make notes while studying and write unique answers in the exams.
• Always clear doubts on time from your teachers, mentors or peers. Never leave them unaddressed until the last moment. 
• Practice from sample papers and solve previous year’s question papers. 
• Revise at least one month prior to the exam.
• Eat healthily, and take plenty of rest between the exam preparation schedule.

Exam Taking Strategy

• Complete and revise the full syllabus well ahead of time.
• Maintain a calm mindset and arrive exams centre well in advance before the commencement exam, and avoid the last-minute rush.
• Strategise how to use the allotted exam time efficiently. 
• Don’t worry; try to have a positive attitude and approach.
• In the exam answer, as many questions as possible.
• Before you begin answering the exam, make sure you have read all of the instructions.
• During the examination, pay attention to all of the invigilator’s instructions.
• Don’t waste time reading and answering questions about which you are unsure. 
• Instead of answering the questions in the order given, write the answers to the questions you are sure about first, then attempt the questions you are really not sure about.
• For the questions about which you are unsure, you can put down the given data as well as the probable steps.
• Pay close attention to the question numbers and make sure they are written down correctly in the answer papers.
• Check your name, roll number and the numbering of each question that is correct before handing the answer sheets to the invigilator.

Detailed Study plan

To get good grades on the exam, students need a thorough approach and a study plan.

One should be aware of his or her own talents and shortcomings and prepare accordingly. Here is the subject wise study strategy.

Study strategy for Mathematics: 

For many pupils, mathematics can be difficult to learn. The following are some mathematics strategies to improve your mathematics understanding.

• Develop a deep understanding of the concepts and important topics to increase your grades.
• Practice solved problems and exercise questions daily.
• Study easy concepts first, followed by the difficult ones.
• During practice sessions, avoid making silly mistakes and make an effort to correct them.
• Make a list of Important equations in a book and revise it regularly.
• Make use of short methods in the calculation to save your time during the exam.
• Know the Blueprint and question pattern thoroughly. 
• Solve minimum last 5-year question paper.

Study strategy for Science and Technology

Study strategy for Chemistry

Due to the numerous equations, reactions, formulas, and experiments required in chemistry, it can be a complex subject at times. To get a good grade in Chemistry, you can follow the recommendations below:

• Students must do a thorough study of the subject and put in a lot of practice time.
• Understand the basics before proceeding on to more difficult topics.
• Important formulas and equations should be written down on a piece of paper or a chart that you can view every day. If you do this, you will be able to recall them clearly during exams.
• Utilise the laboratory on a regular basis. It will help to gain practical knowledge and a better understanding of the basics.
• Understand the Blueprint as well as the question pattern.
• Solve minimum last 5-year question paper.

Study strategy for Physics:

Few students consider Physics is a difficult subject because of several numericals, experiments, formulas, Laws, and diagrams. Students can overcome these issues by practising the following methods. 

• You should gain a thorough understanding of the fundamental principles first.
• Understand the relationship between various concepts.
• Physics exams frequently include questions that include theorems and formulas. Hence, focus on it more.
• Write and solve numerical problems with a pen and paper to learn physics.
• Have a clear idea of the Blueprint and old question paper.
• Make a list of important formulas, laws, diagrams, etc.
• Take frequent mock tests.

Study strategy for Biology

Biology is a simple, interesting subject related to the living organism and its surroundings. It is a scoring subject. Here are some strategies to improve your grade.

• Practice drawing a neat labelled diagram.
• Make the list of some important topics like names of scientific names plants and animals, diseases, its causative organism, symptoms, etc.
• Avoid spelling mistakes as it has many technical words.
• Do not spend too much time on diagrams.

Study strategy for Social Science

Social Science is a scoring and interesting subject. Here are few tips for good grades in Social Science.

• Make a list of important dates, events, names, formulas in economics, etc.
• Read the textbook thoroughly.
• Concepts like Public Administration, Civics, Economics, etc., learn by relating to daily life and present situations.
• Learn the maps of the different geographical areas.
• Give importance to the old question papers and mock tests.

Study strategy for English

English is also a scoring subject and needs comparatively less time for preparation compared to Mathematica and Science. Therefore give your best in the exam, which helps to increase your overall percentage in the exam. Here are few useful tips for scoring good marks in English.

• Read newspapers, storybooks, novels, science fiction, etc., which help the students to improve their English language knowledge and help indirectly for the board exam.
• Give more importance to the sections like unseen passage, note-making, etc., as it does not need much preparation.
• Grammar is an important part of the language. Be thorough on the basics of grammar. 
• Avoid spelling mistakes.

Learning from Real World

Real education is one in which students’ classroom learning is connected to real-life experiences. Students gain a better knowledge of objects and subject matter when they have direct experience with things, and learning becomes more enjoyable and effective. We really have to present our students with ongoing, experiential learning such as activities, experiments, field trips, group activities, and so on.

Future Skills

Coding is a creative activity in which children can participate actively. It aids in the development of computational thinking, problem-solving abilities, critical thinking, and exposure to real-world scenarios in order to address challenges in a variety of fields. Coding focuses on setting the groundwork for students to learn how to code in order to develop skills in Artificial Intelligence (AI), Data Sciences, and other fields.

Career Skills

Listening skills, Understanding diversity in the workplace, language skills, research skills, planning, leadership skills, being emotionally balanced, self-survey, exploring knowledge, communication skills, etc., are made strong from the basic education itself. This can be achieved by giving opportunities for each student and encouraging them at every level of their development. This can be done by providing real-life experiences and Do It yourself activities.

Career Prospects/Which stream to choose

Although there is no direct career selection in Class 10, it is critical for students to be informed of career opportunities in order to further their education in the field of their interest. After Class 10, the student can take up Science, Commerce, arts, fine arts, diploma courses, etc., according to their interest.
