7 Exam Preparation Tips for High School

Students in secondary school, 9th and 10th class, tend to easily get overwhelmed by the exam preparation for the intimidating board exams. Whether you’re a student of Lahore Board, Peshawar Board, or any other board -- you’re probably worried about how to effectively prepare for exams. High school is not as easy as it appears.

Here are 7 exam preparation tips for students in high school!

1. Gather your learning materials like past papers, textbook solutions, and notes. Make sure that you have collected all of them according to your subjects.
   
   
2. Figure out the important topics. You can use old question papers for this, as they will help you find which topics have appeared in the previous years.
   
   
3. Find and build a studying area. Most people focus best in a certain environment, so figure out what works the best for you and use it to your advantage. If you like background noise or can’t study with it, or if you prefer to study at night instead of during the day - it’s all up to you.
   
   
4. Follow a schedule. Organize your important topics and study according to them, distributing them according to the time period you have left before your exams.
   
   
5. Don’t get distracted by unnecessary tasks. Sometimes our minds find excuses to avoid doing what’s stressing us out but don’t let yourself procrastinate. Focus and work hard.
   
   
6. Practice on old question papers. This will help you become familiar with the pattern and also help you get rid of the fear you have for your board exams.
   
   
7. Test yourself. The more you test yourself, the better you will become at the subjects. Use old papers and solve them on your own many times in order to practice completely.
