Exams have become such an integral part of our lives. In India, the period from March to June can be called the season of examinations. According to me, in the contemporary world, exams are insignificant, as they don't help us hone our skills in any way. But, let us face it: If we need to get admitted in the best college in the country or in the world, we have to perform well in our exams.
Giving my Tenth Standard Board exams was a wonderful experience. It gave me a good outlook as to what a competitive exam is like. I will call it 'memorable' not because of the marks I scored; but because I acquired lots of value systems in the whole process. In particular, I learnt how to set targets for myself and work towards them with perseverance.
Here are a few tips which can help you crack board exams with ease-
1. Getting rid of fear-
This is the first step on the ladder of success in exams. Don't get panicky at any point of time. If any person tries to pressurise you, try to avoid interacting with him/her. As the famous One liner in a famous advertisement says- Darr ke aage jeet hai (There is victory in front of fear). Believe in yourself and give it your 100 percent. Success is bound to follow you.
2. Setting targets-
You must set targets for yourself right at the beginning of the academic year, and work towards achieving them with great vigour. Write the targets down and paste it in your study room. Visualise yourself achieving them, and work hard towards making your dream a reality!
3. Exercising and staying healthy-
This is perhaps the most crucial precursor to success in examinations. It is often observed that many kids quit exercising during exam time, and spend nearly all of their time studying. This will in fact deteriorate their performance. You must exercise regularly; for at least an hour in a day. The body and the mind requires some form of recreation and relaxation, which can be provided through exercise and meditation. Spend time with yourself and reflect on what all you have learnt. Moreover, eat the right kind of food. Refrain from eating junk food, and eat more of fruits and green leafy vegetables.
4. Study by your self-
Many renowned teachers state- Self study is the best study, and what they say is cent percent true. You must have confidence in yourself, and must not depend on someone else to help you with your academics. Please avoid going for tuition classes. They take away a lot of time from your daily schedule. You could instead utilise that time for sharpening your skills and pursuing your hobbies. That will only add value to you as an individual.
5. Learning all the time-
Knowledge is never confined to textbooks or teachers. Observe and learn from your surroundings. Learn from your parents, your friends, your teachers and definitely from Mother Nature. Nature is often proclaimed to be the best teacher. Extract as much as you can from your surroundings. Moreover, we all have a lot of resources today to aid us. In olden times, only books were available for reference. Today, the Internet has expanded our horizons of perception. Use it for your own benefit, and reap the rewards later!
These are five tips which will not only guarantee you success in board exams; they are also crucial for succeeding in various fields of work. Any kind of work requires these five elements to amalgamate. When that happens, success shines like a bright light in front!
