Preparation Tips by Toppers

Many of us wonder what kind of preparation enables students to score this high in their board exams. However, as it turns out there is no big secret to their success. Instead, here are a few pointers which can aid the preparation strategy of aspiring class 10th students:

• Never Compromise with your Sleep Schedule: It has become a common practice among students to neglect some of their sleep to cover up a bit more of their syllabus. This practice especially intensifies during exams, where some students do not sleep for the whole night prior to an exam. However, all top scorers think otherwise. They reckon that while intensive hours are important, they must never come at the loss of physical requirements. A good sleep goes a long way for a high-functioning brain.
• Do not Slack at the Beginning of a Session: A common habit among students these days is that they slack off during the inception of a class, hoping to cover the syllabus in a lump at the end of the session. However, most toppers concede that they maintain a consistent studying pattern for the whole year. While extra efforts are required during the fag end of the year, it can really hurt your chances of scoring well if you leave it all for later. The increased workload can also work adversely for students, making the crucial concepts faze out of the brain due to information overload.
• Self-study is Vital: It is seen almost every year that students who score the highest believe in self-study. While tuitions can be helpful in revision and ingraining of concepts, they must not be the only source of study other than the school. Self-study enables self-evaluation, which is vital when it comes to revising the syllabus and allotting time for different topic and subjects.
• Meditate for a Few Minutes Daily: The additional stress of an exam can put a lot of unforeseen burden on a student’s brain. If unchecked, it can develop into mental ailments like anxiety and stress. Meditation is an easy and effective solution to this problem which is opted by many toppers from all levels. Just a few minutes of meditation or even deep breathing exercises can help you isolate your mind from all its worries. It is easy to do and good practice to permanently inculcate in life.

Note: Although we tend to look at the top performers and appreciate their success, it is important to acknowledge the efforts of each and every applicant. While hard work is the key to success in every field, marking and test evaluation also have a sparkle of luck connected to them. If you find your scores underwhelming, getting demotivated is the worst plan to move ahead with. You must always remember to take these results in stride and remain focussed while moving towards your goal.
