Q & A

Is it too late to start board exam preparation in September?

No, it is not too late. With focused and consistent effort over the next 4-5 months, it is possible to score 90+ even if preparation had not started earlier.

How should a student assess their current syllabus coverage?

Students should take a diary or copy and list all subjects and chapters, marking which chapters are completed, partially done, or not started. This provides a clear understanding of their current standing.

What is the recommended approach for completing chapters quickly?

Students should use one-shot lectures to complete each chapter in 2–3 hours instead of detailed long lectures, focusing on understanding the chapter efficiently.

Why is NCERT important and how should it be used?

NCERT contains essential concepts and important questions. Students should focus on important topics and questions rather than reading the entire book superficially.

What role do question banks and previous year papers play?

Question banks provide practice for all types of questions (MCQs, assertion-reason, long and short answers), while previous year question papers help identify patterns and important questions. Practicing these is crucial for scoring well.

How should students plan their study schedule daily and weekly?

Students should create a 7-day target with a to-do list for each day, detailing tasks, chapters, exercises, and study times. This is more effective than rigid timetables and helps maintain consistency.

How many hours should students study each day and when?

Students should study at least 7–8 hours daily, preferably early in the morning or late at night, to ensure focused and uninterrupted study time.

What strategies can be used to overcome low motivation or fatigue?

Students can start with an easy or favorite subject, use the 25–5 rule (study 25 minutes, break 5 minutes), and the 5-minute trick (commit to studying just 5 more minutes) to maintain momentum and concentration.

How many subjects should a student study in a day?

Ideally, 2 subjects per day are recommended. If the syllabus is large, 3 subjects can be studied; if very little remains, 1 subject per day is sufficient.

How can accountability help in exam preparation?

Sharing daily tasks with a family member or friend and having them check progress can increase motivation and ensure consistency, as students feel accountable for completing their planned tasks.

What is the advantage of starting preparation now compared to students who studied earlier?

Students starting now can benefit from the mistakes of others, such as overconfidence or inconsistent study habits, and can outperform them by studying consistently and smartly in the final months.
