Board Exam 2025: 7 must-dos that students can follow for best exam preparation

Start your revision early as it gives you a huge advantage for your exam preparations. Create a realistic study timetable and prioritise subjects based on difficulty and exam dates.  

Organise your study space. Ensure you have enough space to spread your textbooks and notes out. Check if you have enough light in your study area and use a comfortable chair. 

Practicing past papers is great but go a step further by simulating actual exam situations. Set a timer, use a quiet room, and follow the real exam format. 

Keep your body and mind well-fuelled by choosing nutritious food that aid concentration and memory.

Do not neglect mental health. Studying nonstop can lead to burnout, therefore you should practice meditation to stay cantered. You must also not hesitate to talk to someone if you are feeling overwhelmed.

Physical exercise can not only be beneficial for the body but can also play a crucial role in improving cognitive function and mental health. Even simple activities like a 20-minute brisk walk, a short dance session, or light yoga can significantly boost your focus and mood. 

Take smart breaks during preparations. Balancing study and rest during the exam preparation stage is essential, the QS Top Universities report says.
