All the best for your board exams!
CBSE board exams 2023 have begun and class 12th students appeared for the English exam today. Now that most of the preparation time is over for the upcoming exams, students try to revise all that they have learnt in the past year in the gap days between two examinations.
Apart from being well prepared, the mindset you have in the exam hall can create a huge impact on the quality of your performance in the exam. Here are some examination hall tips that can help you deliver your best.
Examine the test paper thoroughly
Before you start writing, read the exam instructions carefully as well as browse through all the questions. This will help you gauge what all is asked in the exam. You can also prioritize what questions you want to attempt first and if there is an option, then which one you will attempt. Make sure your question paper has all the questions and there is no page missing. Make sure you do this quickly so that you do not compromise on your writing time.
Make a plan for writing your paper
It is best to manage your time by planning beforehand on how much time on an average you should devote to each question or section of questions. Wear a wrist watch so you can keep a track of time during the exam. Planning your answers in pointers before writing them can also help you to cover all important information.
Don't panic if you are unsure of some questions
It is ok if you are unsure of any questions. Do not panic and stay calm. You can always come back to the difficult or doubtful questions in the end. Focus on first attempting the ones you know well.

Don't pay attention to other candidates
There is always this one student who would want an extra sheet of paper just 10-15 minutes into the exam. Do not get distracted by others' pace, you do not know if they truly know all the answers. Focus on your own exam and your time-management plan.

Double-check in the end
Once you have finished writing, check whether you have attempted all the questions and have not missed out any. Once that is done, go through the important questions to cross-check if there is no mistake you might have made. Make sure you have numbered all your answers correctly and have filled out the correct information at the top of your answer sheet – such as your roll number and paper name or code. Make sure your extra sheets, maps, graphs and any other attachments are tied properly with thread or stapled securely.
