STUDY MATERIAL (HOTS) FOR BOARD CLASSES
Previous Years CBSE Question Papers (2009)
1.
Start studying well
before the exam. Make sure your schedule provides for sufficient revision time.
As any good test-taker will tell you, the revisions are more important than the
first time study.
2.
Focus on
understanding the concepts rather than mugging. Use mnemonics if rote learning
is the only way out.
3.
Think about the time
after the exam. Visualize the happiness on your face that the stress period is
now over. This works very well.
4.
Keep telling
yourself that your hard-work will not go to waste.
5.
If you are afraid of
tough questions, it helps to know that most questions are of average difficulty
and designed to be answered correctly by most examinees.
6.
Designate a “study
buddy”, a classmate who is an expert in a subject you have trouble in, that you
can come to with questions.
7.
Get plenty of sleep.
It’s way more stressful to memorize lots of information or comprehend
complicated concepts on less than 6 hours sleep.
8.
Eat healthy food,
since it’s often easier to function on nutritious food than junk. While sugar
might be a quick source of energy, sugar lows happen pretty fast and the
let-down can often be severe.
9.
While taking notes,
use as many diagrams, graphs and figures and illustrations as possible. This
helps to make several revisions at the last moment!
10.
Ask a senior or more
knowledgeable person to prepare sample tests for you. If such practise tests
are available in the market, go for them. Many questions are similar to or
verbatim from practise material.
11.
On the day of the
exam, feel happy! Think positive and keep cool! Good luck!
1.
Buy an extra notebookfor
each subject at the beginning of the year so that as you finish a chapter in
class, you immediately write notes and summaries in that book. The classwork
will still be fresh in your mind so at exam time you merely have to take the
notebook home from school. Write down the key points you learned from each
lesson onto a cue card. This helps your mind to retain the day’s important
facts. On the weekends look over the cue cards. Get your parents or friends to
quiz you on them.
2.
Learn how to
make mind maps, cluster
maps and other memory aids. Mind
maps are graphical illustrations of a subject and a great memory tool to use,
especially during exams.
3.
As soon as you
finish a topic take out a book from the library and read more information about
the subject. Take notes to refer back to them before and at test time.
4.
Don’t do rough
drafts for essays. Just do the good copy straight away, but thoroughly as well.
In an exam situation you won’t have time to write out a whole draft copy, so
practice writing out good copies straight away.
5.
Make a timetablefor
exam days by marking the dates on a calendar, so you can be prepared by the
time the test comes around.
6.
Make a list of your
classes and the topics covered in class. As you study a topic, mark it in a way
that is meaningful to you, to remind you which topics have already been
studied.
7.
Set aside a study
time each day when you are not too tired, or too hungry. If you are going to
study for a long time, remember to take a break in between.
8.
Set up a study
group. Study groups share notes, thoughts and ideas or how to solve or
understand a particular problem. Be sure to honor the class rules on what work
may or may not be done in groups.
9.
Plan out ‘trial’
exams for yourself. All you have to do is redo one of your past tests or
quizzes within a time limit. Get into the exam mode by clearing your work desk
of everything except your paper and pen.
10.
Get enough sleepat
night. It’s harder to concentrate when you got less than six hours of sleep the
night before.
11.
When choosing individual
subjects to study, start with the least enjoyable or the most difficult
subject. Master it, and you’ll end up loving it. At the very least, you won’t
have to worry about putting it off until it’s too late because you don’t like
it
