- Plan a Study Schedule
Create a subject-wise timetable that aligns with the exam sequence. Prioritize difficult subjects and allocate more time to them. - Focus on NCERT & JKBOSE Prescribed Books
Since JKBOSE follows NCERT curriculum for most subjects, ensure that you thoroughly revise textbooks, sample papers, and previous year question papers. - Practice Time Management
While revising, attempt mock tests by timing yourself according to the exam duration. This will help you complete your paper on time. - Pay Attention to Vocational Subjects
Many students underestimate vocational and skill-based papers, but they carry equal weight. Prepare them with seriousness to avoid last-minute stress. - Revise Daily
Avoid cramming at the last minute. Instead, revise key concepts daily for better retention. - Health & Well-Being
Exams can be stressful. Ensure proper sleep, hydration, and a balanced diet to keep your mind sharp and focused.
