All your months of hard work culminates into your 3 hours performance. One technique I read a lot about and even applied in my exam paper was to constrain myself to a certain number of minutes per question type. If I cross that time, I mark that question and move to the next one. This way I attempt the whole paper in time and then get back to questions that I marked for the final attempt. Key Competency-based Q’s Look for specific terms like List down, Create, Define, Explain etc. during the reading time. These questions are designed to test your understanding, evaluating and critical thinking, in which you must always use the concepts learnt.
Since a lot of questions in the exam will be derived from a real life scenario/ activities, try to give appropriate examples.
Use standardised vocabulary or language according to class 12 syllabus to impress the paper checker, such as flexibility, strength, tension, nutrition, muscular, etc.
Write all short and long answers in bullets like this so it is easy for you to stick to the point and the answers are understandable.
Don’t cross the time stipulated per MCQ above to cover the paper on time. There are many more MCQs to cover.
If the question is like ‘stand alones’, or ‘match the following’, try to solve them in your mind first and then select the right answer. In this case, it is easy to relate with the answers. Self Analyse for Mistakes After writing the whole paper you should check the pattern or the way you answer the questions. Read and analyse them for any mistakes. You lose your marks easily if you do not understand the meaning of the question.
IMPORTANT:
1. The mandatory Reading Time of 15 minutes should be used to skim through the paper and decide which questions to attempt first.
2. Extra time for tricky questions (competency-based) is suggested in certain sections but do not cross the stipulated per section time if you want to attempt the whole paper.
3. Revision time is a must to have (at the end) to achieve three things:
– Attempt the questions you have left or are not 100% sure about
– Check if any question in left unattempted
– Ensure the correct options are picked in the Objective section
1. Which subjects are mandatory and what happens if I fail in any?
You have to take Mathematics (standard or basic), Social Science, Science and English as mandatory subjects. Hindi (A or B) is mostly taken as the 5th subject but is replaced with a regional language subject in certain states. The sixth subject (like Sanskrit, Computer, etc.) can be taken by a student depending on his/her interests. If you fail in any of the mandatory 5 subject(s), you will have to give a compartment exam to pass the class.
2. When will CBSE provide a datesheet for 2023 boards? CBSE will most probably conduct Class 10 and 12 board exams for the 2022-23 academic session from February 15th, 2022. However, it is very likely that the 5-6 main subjects will be conducted in March only.
3. What is the use of the CBSE Marking Scheme that is always provided by along with CBSE Sample Papers? Marking scheme basically provides an ideal answer that CBSE expects you to write. But more importantly, it teaches you for each question with the exact breakdown of marks based on each step. It is a bit technical in nature but you should refer to our Self-evaluation charts to understand this better as we have simplified it to learn the art of scoring full marks in any kind of question.
