    Test Taking Stragtegies
    Examine model answer sheets released by the CBSE of the past 6–7 years.

    Start all long answers (6–8–10 marks) from a fresh sheet


    If three-four lines are left on a page, start the next answer from the following page.
    Try and leave at least one line between short answers and two lines between long
    answers.
    Don't use fancy vocabulary unnecessarily and stick to word limits
    For those students who don’t follow any particular order for writing answers in the
    exam:-
    Follow this order:- Section A-> Section C-> Section B.
    WHY? Because in the sections A & C you already know what you have to write &
    that way you can finish them quickly. In the end, start with section B. You have to be
    very thorough with your answers & do not exceed the word limit. Examiner won’t
    check your answer by reading each & every word. Also, use short & simple
    sentences.
    The structure of all your writing is extremely important since you have limited
    words, so quickly jot down the main points you want to cover in the margin (with
    pencil) so you don't miss anything and are able to write it well.
    Choose amongst the internal choices smartly. Choose those questions which would
    take the least time
    Did you know?

    7 out of 10 students
    say that scoring good marks is not difficult in boards, in fact
    it’s easier compared to the pre-boards held in schools.
    All the best !!!

    Thank You
    Finally on the exam day leave all your books. Have a good shower
    and a heavy breakfast, listen to some songs and reach your exam
    centre on time (before 1 hour at least)
