Board exams are difficult times for all students. After the 1st board exam of Class X, the 2nd one of Class XII is more difficult. Also known as HSC exam, the results of this examination play an important role in deciding the future of the candidate. The moment dates for the HSC exam are declared, an untold fear grasps the students. But student counsellors opine that getting nervous will not solve any problem. Rather than getting scared and nervous, making proper preparations for the exams will be of greater help.
Mentioned below are some highly effective and important tips, which will help in getting high marks in HSC exams without fail.
Tip 1: Keep on challenging yourself for doing better
Remember that you are your greatest contender. Try to do better than the previous time. Take challenges in the form of exams. If in the last exam, you secured 50% marks, try to outdo that by scoring 60% in the coming exam. Defeat the previous percentage and always target for higher scores. Target increase in overall percentage than considering marks in individual subjects. This will help in analysing the exact areas you need to improve on and this will boost up scores and percentage.
Tip 2: Maintain the right attitude all throughout
Maintaining a positive attitude is very important in crucial stages of life. With this attitude, it is possible to tackle many difficult problems easily. A positive attitude helps in maintaining high confidence levels and with this it is possible to achieve flying colours in the toughest exams of life. Not only in HCS exams, positive attitude and high confidence levels can help in cracking the most difficult of interviews with ease.
Tip 3: The main syllabus book is important
Most of us immerse ourselves in innumerable reference books that are available for each subject. These heavyweight books help in understanding the subject in a better and easy manner. But most students ignore the main syllabus book while studying from the reference books. As per experts, it is always best to stick to the main syllabus book and cover everything that is there in the book. You will notice that students who fare with flying colours often stick to syllabus books only as they understand the true significance of the same. Board questions are always set from the syllabus book only. Reference books are good for competitive exams after Class XII.
Tip 4: Concentrate on the English paper
In Class XII, HSC exams, different students choose different streams like Arts, Science and Commerce. There are individual subjects in these streams and choices can be made as per preferences. Along with these subjects, there are language subjects too in the form of English and another language. Most students ignore the English paper and this might lead to drop in overall percentage. Along with preparing for other subjects, make sure that you pay equal importance to English paper as well.
Tip 5: Work on the weak areas more
If you have taken up Science stream, you might be good in Physics and Mathematics, but not that good in Chemistry. Identify the weak areas and start working on them so that these subjects do not impact the overall percentage. Most students don’t want to study subjects they are weak at, and this is the biggest mistake. Instead of shying away from the subject, try finding the weak points and work on them to turn them into strong areas.
Tip 6: Time management is very important
HSC exam is probably the most difficult exam, you will have faced till date. So start bracing yourself for that. Board exam preparation, one important thing to consider is learning proper time management skills. Make a daily schedule that you must follow. Utilize whatever little time you get for studies as this will help in increasing the marks considerably. Study subjects that you want to retain in memory during the morning hours when the mind is fresh. Invest minimum 8 hours in a day for studies. Equal time should be devoted to each subject so that every subject is covered.
Tip 7: Solve papers of previous years keeping the time in mind
Old question papers are great assets for students. It has been seen that students who have practiced question papers of previous years do much better on board exams when compared to students who haven’t done the same. Solve previous years’ question papers, keeping the time frame in mind. Do not solve the question paper in parts or take a longer time than needed. This will not serve the purpose. While solving the paper, start as if you are sitting in the exam hall and solve it accordingly. You might not be able to fare well right in the beginning, but with practice you will surely be able to do better. Practicing 10 years question papers are the best thing to do.
Tip 8: Concentrate on cleanliness of the answer sheet
It is quite obvious that an answer sheet, which is clean, fetches more marks than the one which is filthy. Many students cut through lines and words innumerable times in the answer sheet, hampering the neatness and cleanliness of the sheet. Many students ignore these simple things, but these can help in fetching few extra marks in board exams. And these few extra marks help in boosting the overall percentage to quite an extent.
Tip 9: Take care of your health
It is needless to say that exam times are highly stressful. Therefore, it is important that you take proper care of your health at this time. Eat properly, take proper rest and indulge in activities which keep the mind relaxed. This is important because if your health is not good, you will not be able to handle the stress of exams well.
Tip 10: The night before the exam is crucial
You might be surprised to know that the night before the HSC board exam is very crucial. Almost 10% of your marks depend on the night before the exam. Try and stay as relaxed as possible before the exam night. Don’t rush through the notes and books as this will puzzle your mind. Eat well and sleep properly so that you wake up fresh and fine on the morning of the exam. You will be able to perform much better in the exam.
Tip 11: On the day of the board exam
On the day of the exam, keep your cool as much as possible. If you find that there are pending things to study, ignore them. Concentrate on things you know instead of fretting about things you don’t know. The best thing is to keep all books, notebooks and notes at home and reach the exam center with free mind. Try to focus and concentrate without stressing yourself much.
Tip 12: In the examination hall
Once the exam bell rings and question papers are distributed, gather all your mental strength and convince yourself that you will do great. Read each question in detail and chalk a plan as which ones you will do first. Attempt the questions that you know very well. Starting with these will boost your confidence. Read through the answers and revise them after writing. Don’t panic if you don’t know a particular question. Leave that for last.
Apart from these above mentioned tips, there are some other real time tips that are useful for HSC preparations. Some of them are as follows:
With the help of these tips, no one can stop you from getting high marks in HSC board exams. We, at CEDP Skill Institute wish the students appearing for their HSC board exams all the best. You can contact us regarding any kind of help and assistance required for the exam.

With mere 10 percent of India’s work force being technically sound, the government of India has taken many steps in various forms to see that the youth get quality vocational skill set to fuel the employment world.
If we talk about the Indian workforce, then it is mandatory to ask about how many men and women are employed and how productive they are?
The available opportunities for them and the up-gradation provisions of the required skill set. Person, enterprises & countries, all seek to develop their skill and invest in it as a future dividend.
Given the mammoth size of its 500 million plus workforce, our country, India, can become the driving agent behind a skills-based economy in the world.
The one challenge that plague India’s chance of becoming the centre & hub of skilled labour force, which is discussed time and again in every important forum is the drastic dearth of technically well-equipped and skilled workers.
A recent survey conducted by the Manpower Group revealed that 67 per cent of India’s employing industries are not able to find resources that match their requirements.
Important to note is that these industries are not facing problem of worker or labours, they are facing crunch of skilled professionals and employees.
Eventually each countries development and growth depends on its people employed and how much productive they are for the respective industry & nation, which largely depends on the skill sets mastered by the work force and how effectively it is used.
Primarily education gives everyone an opportunity for the development of their potential, thus making them eligible for employment.
Vocational skill training provides one to fine tune his core work skills, industry based knowledge and professional competencies, which makes possible the move from education into the world of work.
Despite the Indian economy witnessing growth in the last two decades, the growth has not been in sync, it’s not uniform. Low employment and education level, high dropout cases, lack of guidance and support in vocational training, which can be catalyst in providing high employment rate & opportunities are still widespread.
The unavailability of vocationally skilled workforce is obvious from the differences of demand and supply in the employment sector.
As per the findings of Boston Consulting Group, by 2020 there will be worldwide shortage of around 47 million skilled working force, but India alone will have an eligible working force in surplus i.e. the number of working people in India will be around 56 million.
The age bracket will be 25 – 30. Currently only 10 percent of the youth population of India have proper vocational training. Realizing this under achieved numbers and the potential the Vocational skill set can bring along with it, the government of India has taken many steps in various forms to see that the youth get quality vocational skill set to fuel the employment world.
Skills development courses and training programs improves people’s ability to work & creates opportunity for them at work, offering scope for satisfaction and progress.
Vocational Education is crucial. It is instrumental in making the significant contribution towards economic growth of the underdeveloped countries by providing suitable and sustainable manpower corresponding to the needs of the industry & society both at national and global level.
Access to vocational training and skills development gives way for & opens up the opportunities, benefits of initial & lifelong learning, thus empowering men and women of all ages, in urban and rural areas. It gives them platform to achieve & realize their aspirations of earning livelihood and live a respectable and dignified life.
If students, parents, authorities think in this direction and make required effort in imparting skill based education then it can work as a catalyst for the unemployed labour force of India, making her the key contributor to the skill based work force and economy.
Youths of any country are the most important, vibrant, potentially viable work force. Almost 70 per cent of India’s population is in the age group of 30-35 years.
In general, managerial and technical capabilities Indian’s are on par with the best of the world countries. Despite their phenomenal capabilities and advantage, India’s present is marred with a low vocational education base among the youths.
In comparison to China’s 21 percent, India has just 12.3 percent of skilled labours. In developed countries the proportion is too high i.e 54.6% and the world average is 23.2%.
There is need and necessity of converting the available opportunities into a reality for youngsters & that to on a massive scale and speed in diverse fields like engineering, technology, architecture, pharmacy, management, applied arts & crafts. This can be achieved through vocational education.
According to a report, most of ITIs have seen almost 100% placement on campus despite the uncertain economic scenario.
Apart from the government managed Skill Institutes, the private players are also helping in improving the infrastructure of the existing vocational training institutes; they are bringing in the contemporary course curricula through these centres, well qualified trainers, and tie ups with the corporate for the consumption of the vocationally trained people.
Vocational Course provides the dual advantage of education and skill development at all levels. Through diversified vocational training and skill set India can transform its human resource to productive assets.
Worldwide, Germany is leading in terms of the vocational training system, which is why it has a recession proof economy and its engineering products are desired in the world.
Singapore is now giving great importance to vocational training and is going full steam with it. China is banking heavily on vocational education to solve its skill mismatch issues.
