How to get good marks in exams

Exams today have become one of the tools that used to measure the performance of the child. We can always find pressure mounting during board exam days from parents that the child will able to reproduce the answers as per questions asked, a great amount of fear and anxiety from the teacher all the children in her subjects will get thought the examination and finally the whole pressure from all sides makes the students restless going through various moods that he would come up to the expectations of the parents, teachers and society. For the child it is judging factor for life. If he/she does well his/her life will be build based the marks he scores in the board exams and will have great future ahead. I hope few tips would help the child to study better.

1. Prepare a  time table 

The first thing one must do is preparing the time table as per the subjects slot time and follow. If you have only 5 hours  to spare for your study and then you allot subjects only for that hour and be strict in finishing the portions in stipulated time

2. Prepare a flexible time frame 

Make a flexible time frame so that you prepare well the content that you are studying. If you have fixed particular time for one subject kindly stick to the subject and time every day so that you do well in all the subjects.

3. You can change the Time table 

When you prepare the time table you should be mentally prepared for any changes, you may feel after few days a particular subject needs only less time you can cut short that extra time and then you can devote to it the tough subjects which needs more time, so that you can better perform the weaker subjects too.

4. Gradually increase the time of study

Initially, don’t make comprehensive time table for self study. Increase your study timings every week. Start from 45 minutes and then one hour and then latter once you get used to the time table then you can 2 hours and 3 hours likewise…

5. Study every day 

Study every day devote time for at least three subjects in

a day and complete all your class work as per the instruction of your subject teachers. Work more on those subjects, which you feel tough to understand and get good understanding of the content.

6. Study all the subjects every day 

In order score high marks you should study all the subjects every day.  Do not leave any subject for more than 2 days. Every subject should be taken up for study every day at least for some time.

7. Self Study 

Self study is the one that would make you familiar with questions and answers, so devote at least 5-6 hours for self study. Makes sure never stain yourself losing your sleep, Take out and relax after a while when you feel like taking a break.

8. Don’t sit for long 

Set a time frame for each subject, never sit for long, you can also take one or two short breaks of 30-50 minutes during a continuous stretch of 3-4 hrs. of study. This will help you to be fresh and it enthuse your brain for further studies.

9. Refer Previous questions

Have the habit of referring  the previous year’s question papers, sample papers, government model papers etc. be familiar with the pattern s what type of questions are generally asked. Also refer to the model answers also.

10. Go through the answer sheet

Whenever you are given a test in school and get marks, just go through your answer sheet seriously and see where the needed correction has to be done and work out and present better next time.

11. Take care of your health

To study well and to perform in your exam well you need to put extra effect in taking care of your health and hygiene. Exercise; take more of green vegetables, milk and other nutritious food. Drink more water.

12. Get guidance from your teacher 

Teacher is the ultimate guide till you finish your board exams; always seek guidance from your particular subject teacher about your doubt.

13. Do self Tests 

The more tests you write the more you become familiar with your subjects contents .Once the portions are done take sometimes on Sundays or holidays self test by yourself and be ready to take slip test in your schools too to test how far you are prepared for your board exam.

14. Keep your Goal 

It is very important to set a goal in the beginning of the academic year that you are in an important period of your study. Every minute and hour is so precious and keep working till you achieve your dream.

What Subjects or Career Stream To Choose In Class 11

It is that time of the year when our young students, moving from class X to class XI have to choose their subject streams. And like so many other years, this year too hordes of students would pick or would be made to pick those subjects 

Many parents and family members persuade and almost 'force' their kids to take up those streams which match their status and which is in sync with their pre-defined and biased mindset. That is to say, the science stream is often considered to be an "elite" subject to choose and many parents pressurize their kids to study hard in order to secure good enough marks to be able to get science stream in higher secondary. 

This extreme level of expectation and an urgent demand to compete and do well in class 10 often leads to extreme stress in the life of a young child and often leads to depression and low self-esteem

Why don't  understand that marks or grades cannot be the criterion for subject selection? In fact, many a times, marks or grades in Class X can be quite misleading. It is the Scientific Career Analysis  of the student that should be the criterion for stream selection.

"When subjects or stream selection is done on the basis of these Scientific Analysis, the student finds it easy and joyous to learn those subjects and do well in those subjects. In-fact, operating through ones' area of strengths also results in better performance at work situations as well."

We live in test conscious age in which the lives of many people are greatly influenced by their test performance .to be accepted in family, school, college or university. We not only have to performance in every exam but also have to show the great skill to fight with anxiety & fear, but our school and now our families don’t give us knowledge to fight against fear and anxiety.

As i had seen in my counselling practice there is a huge amount of population are suffering from anxiety and over stress problems. Now there is new generation of disease like obesity, diabetes, increase rate of cancer, gastric trouble, skin problem and addiction are coming very rapidly to engulf our normal living.

If we go specifically on an academic anxiety then we say that we can easily see the stress and anxiety on the face of students for example if we see those students who are going for exam we see change in there  walking style , there eye movement, condition of mouth, condition of their hands etc. Have huge different when they come back after exam. When they come out side exam hall we easily recognize change in their walking style, their eye rotation and so on by only seeing them any one say that student is exhausted or feel sense of relief. Some time some students look confuse too after exam. 

If we try to categories there exam stress then we could say that this exam fear or exam anxiety id base on two factor 

1. Worry (By fear of failure )

2. Emotionality (Physiological response of body of stressful situation )

• Worryness is generally a psychological factor which is related to our expectation, family expectation, social expectation and other psychological factors.

• Where are emotionality is a physiological response which reflect our tendency to fight with stress and their conditioning 

                                                                                                  Solution:-

If we (students) before exam properly communicate with our families about the test, its procedures, results and after outcomes of test result the we clearly  understand the view points of our family members, further if we talk about expectation of every family members then we may developed a confidence which make me ease and relax which of test. 

As emotionality concern we have to learn some techniques to make our body relax and tense free if we practice those techniques then we easily make our body calm and we perform better. Some techniques are:-

1) Relaxation music

2) Psychological relaxation techniques

3) Water intake 

4) Hypnosis
