hello and welcome to desi-student-struggles! we're a group of three desi students who understand all your academic struggles. and here we post relatable posts, advice for icse/CBSE and other stuff! (this is a side blog)
Hey 12thies!! It’s almost board exam time. If you’ve been like me and haven’t studied all year don’t worry, it’s not too late. Get off Tumblr and study! Boards aren’t a big deal (apparently), but they are important. Good luck you guys <3
Ayy fellow students I'm gonna share with you all what I did for my history exam and I'm gonna tell you exactly why you're not supposed to do what I did. I had my history exam today and 9 chapters for it. I procrastinated till like Sunday evening. Ended up sleeping four hours last night and waking up at 2:30am this morning just so I could complete the chapters, went the whole day not even napping and highly dependent on caffeine. Let me tell you why it's not good to do this: 1) your body doesn't get enough rest and that kinda kills concentration and memory power, making you forget the stuff you've learned before as well 2) if you overdose on caffeine you could screw up your body which is again not good at all 3) if you're running low on sleep at least take a power nap and don't overwork your body; it's not gonna help you and you might break down cause of overexhaustion Basically don't procrastinate and push yourself to study at least a little bit everyday a week or two before the exams. Don't screw up your sleep schedule for marks. Happy exam-writing, everyone! Good luck. Ace that ish.
Biology is one of the hardest subjects in ISC to get a 100 in! but that shouldn’t stop any of you from getting good marks. Here’s my compiled list of tips that may help you reach there!!
-choose the right textbook! use one prescribed for ISC for the year you’re giving your board exam. there are many good books but i personally like the Nootan publications textbook or the Sarita Aggarwal (S. Chand publications) textbook. the Veer Bala Rastogi textbook is helpful if you’re simultaneously studying for medical entrance too, it has both entrance as well as ISC material
-study strictly according to the scope!! the board can ask you nothing more than what they write in the scope (you can find the scope here ) i suggest making notes exactly point to point from the scope, because you’ll know exactly what to study and it’s easy to revise from them before your exam.
-another alternative is using http://biology4isc.weebly.com/ to study, many of their notes are according to scope+they have great animations and videos that can help you understand the concepts
-crash course biology on youtube has a few videos that can really help you understand too
-memorise all the scientists and their contributions plus the abbreviations from the scope too, they can come for up to six whole marks
-practice the diagrams well, it’s where most of us lose marks. little things like the shape of the cells you’re drawing, number of labels you need to put, etc can make a difference in your marks too, so make sure to show your practiced diagrams to a teacher so u know you’ve got it right
-look for common four marker questions in past papers, write the answers and get them checked by a teacher (or someone who’s familiar with the marking scheme) to make sure you’ve got all the key words, supporting diagrams, etc and learn the checked answers
-complete your project and journal!! and make them nice, neat and pretty. its worth ten whole easy marks
-make sure you’ve practiced every experiment of the practicals at least once, and again if you find one particularly challenging. remember there’s a limited amount of flowers/stems/roots supplied to each examination center so you have to get your dissection or cutting techniques right, you won’t get a second chance in the exam
-go through past practical papers too because they can ask challenging questions there too... again, practice diagrams for practicals
-i’ve found what helped me was making a list of all the terms and definitions and laws for quick revision (i included all the flower terms, etc)
When you’re a humanities students and you think you’re done with maths and stats forever until... DUN DUN DUN. Economics. And sociological surveys where you have to put responses in statistical data.
