Board Exams


“You may never know what results come out of your action, but if you do nothing there will be no result”
~ Mahatma Gandhi




Everybody has been afraid of examinations. Even Lord Christ once uttered, "May God not put anybody to test". Teachers, students, examiners and examinees, all think that examination is a curse, a horror and a terror. Exams are one of the many ways to assess the acquired knowledge, level of understanding and the various ways in which the acquired knowledge can be applied in different situations. Exams are important as their results influence future professional careers, social status and self–esteem. Exams teach us lots of things and give training for various things like punctuality, writing skills, timing sense, expressing our thoughts and opinions and so on. Without exams it is very hard to find out the real knowledge of an individual student. Additionally, exams serve as motivation to study.

Board examinations, whether State, ICSE Board or CBSE Board exams, are one of the most crucial milestones in one’s life and scoring well in these is something which every student aspires to. Every student works hard to do well in the exams so that he can achieve good marks in the academic year. But as a matter of fact, students fall apart most of the time when it concerns their exams, especially in the board papers which is dreaded by the student community. Students are pressurized to perform beyond their calibre. The mounting stress only makes them exhausted of exams as it demands high-scale preparation. It is mandatory for students to follow certain effectual guidelines which make preparation easier and stress free…especially in case of the Board Exams.

To get good results in a board exam, a student needs to be systematic and follow a particular pattern. For example, in a Math exam paper, each step carries certain marks…so a student needs to be very careful about the pattern of the exams and should strictly consider them while solving the sums. Everybody is capable of passing the exam. The best way is to take action rather than stress. After all, stress wont help you pass. Rather it is the right action of asking the right person to help you to understand which will get you ahead.

Board exams are like any other exams. The best way to achieve success is to be calm, freshen up your mind, and plan a preparation schedule, revise and stop worrying. Board exams are the time when children look up to their parents for help and support. And therefore their duty is to help them through and not pressurize them.
