There are two types of mistakes that students do prior board examination. That is common mistakes and serious mistakes.

 

Common mistakes:

Ø Mind distraction: There are many points that distract student’s mind from learning and drive toward low performing in exam.   

 

Serious mistakes:

Ø Disobeying Teachers: Most of the students don’t obey their teachers’ advice and guide for learning effectively. Teacher is the only person who really expects student’s good result. But they don’t care for teacher’s suggestion. It is awful.

Ø Bad company: Having bad classmates company is one of the dangerous mistakes that demotivate you and drive in wrong track. Ultimately result comes to zero. It is unjust with your study career.

Ø Planning: Once you set your mind for learning then it is the second to plan your study properly. Planning includes routine making, and choosing right coaching or faculty.

 

Routine: It means time management for everyday learning. You must divide total study hours in to small fragment section. To prepare effective routine follow the steps given below.

 

·       You can fix two different subjects for each day.

·       Continue two subjects for two subsequent days.

·       Than change other two subjects for next two days.

·       In this way, you can go through all subjects every week.

·       Set longer time for problem solving subjects then theory.

·       Routine should be typed or hand written neatly in bold letter in a Table format.

·       Mention time period for each subject for morning and evening.

 

 

Role of Coaching or Faculty: Even genius students go to coaching class or hire faculty to understand concept of lesson and clear the doubts regarding problem solving. Most of students face trouble in mathematics, science and English subjects. So it is crucial to choose right coaching centre and right faculty to find right solution. For this purpose follow the guide given below.

·       Consult your senior students about particular coaching and faculty specially those who had scored very good in last board exam.

·       You may hire expert of a certain subject who can actually solve your doubts as well as guide you with new ideas beyond book.

 

 

 

Learning Method: There are four effective methods of learning those are understanding concept of subject, solving questions, practice it in writing and Self-Assessment.

Ø Understand Concept: You must be attentive while in class. The more you focus on class the more knowledge you can gather. Remember perceiving knowledge through listening is more than reading.

Ø Solving Question: Solve all questions of short type and long type with or without help of guide book. I would recommend following guide book available in market. Because only heaving clear concept is not enough to get good score but it needs right way of presenting of answer as well.

Ø Practice: You must practice what you have already learned. For this purpose you can practice long type questions in writing at the end of each lesson. Don’t forget one time writing is equal to ten times reading. Written practice is highly essential for problem oriented subjects like mathematics, physics and so on.

Ø Self-Assessment: You have to be very honest to cross check your improvement time to time. In this case you should start solving questions and finish it in time you have set. If you go to coaching they would conduct the same. It is mandatory. Compare your performance with the guide you follow.
