Giving Your Best in Board Exams

Giving your Best in Board Exams

Exam day marks a significant milestone in your journey as students. It’s the day you step into the examination hall to write your first board exam. Yes, it’s a big day, and it’s completely natural to feel a mix of excitement and nerves. But remember, this moment is what you’ve been preparing for all year long.

The preparations you’ve made, the lessons you’ve learned, and the hard work you’ve put in are all leading up to this. However, it’s not just about what you’ve done so far; it’s also about how you perform today, in this moment. . 

So, as you get ready to take this step, here are some pointers to help you give your best performance on exam day:

1. Stay Calm and Positive: Begin your day with positive thoughts. Believe in yourself and your preparation. A calm mind is your best ally in the exam room.

2. Focus: Once you’re in the exam room, focus on the paper in front of you. Block out everything else and concentrate on answering the questions to the best of your ability.

3. Manage Your Time Wisely: Keep an eye on the clock. Plan how much time you’ll spend on each section or question, but also be flexible if you need to adjust.

4. Read Each Question Carefully: Make sure you understand what each question is asking before you start writing your answer. If you’re unsure, take a deep breath, and read it again.

5. Stay Hydrated and Eat Well: Your body and mind need fuel to work their best. Drink water and eat a healthy meal before your exam to keep your energy up.

6. Revise: As you finish all questions utilize the time to revise and make sure you have not missed any question.

Jodo Gyan

Mathematics is commonly perceived as a complex and abstract subject. However, there's a growing consensus that this perception is largely due to the traditional emphasis on rote learning of procedures and rules. By adopting a different approach, we can make the learning process more meaningful and engaging for children.

Jodogyan is an approach where the learning activities begin from the world of children – from stories, games, and contexts connected to their lives and each activity has a motivating purpose for children.

The ultimate goal is to create a learning-through-practice experience for children, fostering a crystal-clear grasp of these concepts while enhancing their cognitive abilities. Central to this approach are group activities that facilitate constructive discussions, collaborative learning, and exposure to diverse problem-solving strategies, all contributing to a comprehensive and lucid understanding of mathematics.

Mindsprings

Scotle has collaborated with Mindsprings to rethink and change the English language teaching process to suit Indian children’s needs and aspirations.

Mindsprings is a thought leader in English language education. They publish textbooks to help students learn to speak and write the English language. They also provide training sessions to the teachers to enhance their skills.

Our curriculum follows VFC (Volume, Frequency, and Context )pedagogy to layer the concept year after year (Grades I to VIII).

We have customized syllabus based on a dynamic process of observation and need. The learning of the child is paramount and our differentiation methods are bold, original, and protean. Success is measurable in the competencies, behaviors, and attitudes of children to learn the language.

The Olympiad examination encourages students to develop a routine of consistent practice and revision, allowing them to stay closely connected with their academic curriculum. This not only enriches their regular studies but also elevates their comprehension to a higher level. Engaging in these practices aids in the enhancement of cognitive skills such as logical reasoning, analytical thinking, and comprehensive understanding. While preparing for school-level Olympiad exams, students not only learn effective time management but also gain a greater appreciation for their own skill set. Students invest their efforts in a subject of personal interest, resulting in a significant boost to their self-esteem and an increase in their confidence.
