The Class 12 board exam paper not only tests the students ability to answer questions and find a way through twisted problems but also their ability to do all of this within the permitted time. The question papers are usually pretty lengthy and unless a sincere effort is put all throughout the year into time management, it is very difficult to finish the paper on time and get the desired outcome. Writing unnecessarily long answers, solving extra questions before finishing the paper, spending too much time trying to remember a particular answer, are a few common mistakes that students make while giving the exam. It is important to note that two bullet points, containing important information, is sufficient for every mark when writing long answers. Hence for a question that carries 5 marks, no longer than 10 to 12 points must be written. In case the student is not confident of a particular answer and wants to also attempt the optional question, he must do so only after completing the rest of the paper and if time permits. Special efforts must be taken by teachers and parents all throughout the year during preparation, to make sure that students are finishing the paper on time.

Staying calm and composed during the day of the examination is extremely crucial to make sure that you perform to the best of your potential. Panicking at the end moment, trying to revise the entire portion a night before the exam, not getting enough sleep are some of the mistakes that students must try and avoid. Along with all this, we also recommend that the students visit the examination centre a day before just to make sure that they know the place well, where it is located, and how much time it takes to reach the place from their house. By doing so they can judge what time they must leave the house to reach the destination on time. About 30 to 40 minutes must also be kept as a buffer time while planning when they must start their journey. Make a checklist of things to carry on the day of the exam such as water bottles, some light food, and most importantly all the necessary documents that will be required in the examination centre.

Biology  consists of different types of chemical reactions, heavily labelled diagrams, and tons of processes that one must remember during the exam. A good strategy to follow for revising Biology  would be to regularly go through the different types of processes and try to understand them thoroughly. When performing practicals in lab sessions, try to make sure that your observations align with what is theoretically expected and don't hesitate to question the teacher in case you find any anomalies. If you are clear with the conceptual understanding of a particular topic, you can rest assured that you will be able to attempt any type of question asked on it, in your own words. When it comes to diagrams and chemical reactions, one must draw and write them, rather than just going through them one at a time. After you've drawn the chemical reactions multiple times, you will get used to not only labelling them properly but also getting quicker in doing so.

The students must make sure to include solving the previous year question papers as a part of their study plan. This gives them an idea of the type of questions that are asked and the extent to which their difficulty is raised. Previous year question papers also provide a basic idea about the pattern of questions that might be asked. Careful analysis of previous year papers can also help in analysing trends such as the type of questions or topics that are asked more often than others. They can thus understand the topics they are good at, and also the ones that they need to revisit and study again.
