The Best Study Practices for 11th & 12th Students to Score High

Balancing board exams and entrance exam preparation can be challenging, but the right study practices can help students stay focused, reduce stress, and maximize their scores.

Do’s & Don’ts for Effective Study

✅ Do’s:

• Set Clear Goals: Break down your syllabus into daily and weekly targets.
• Follow a Study Routine: Fix a study schedule that includes all subjects.
• Use Active Learning Techniques: Mind maps, flowcharts, and concept notes improve retention.
• Prioritize NCERT Books: For Science and Commerce, NCERT forms the base for board and entrance exams.
• Take Short Breaks: Study in focused sessions of 45-50 minutes with 5-10 min breaks.
• Revise Regularly: Revise key concepts at least once a week to strengthen memory.
• Solve Previous Years’ Papers: Practice past 5 years’ papers and mock tests for better exam preparation.
• Stay Organized: Keep subject-wise notes and highlight important formulas.
• Maintain a Healthy Routine: Get 6-8 hours of sleep, eat healthy, and exercise to keep your mind fresh.
• Seek Help When Needed: Don’t hesitate to ask teachers or mentors for guidance.

❌ Don’ts:

• Avoid Last-Minute Cramming: Studying everything just before the exam leads to stress and poor retention.
• Don’t Overload Yourself: Studying for long hours without breaks reduces efficiency.
• Limit Social Media & Distractions: Use apps like Forest or StayFocusd to control screen time.
• Don’t Ignore Weak Subjects: Give extra time to subjects you find difficult instead of avoiding them.
• Avoid Late-Night Studies Regularly: Studying late occasionally is fine, but a consistent routine is better.
• Don’t Rely Only on Coaching Material: Self-study and NCERT-based learning are crucial for board exams.
• Don’t Multitask While Studying: Focus on one subject at a time for better concentration.
• Avoid Skipping Mock Tests: Testing yourself under real exam conditions is key to success.
