The board exam fever is on the rise all over the country as countless students are preparing for their upcoming exams that usually take place between February and March. Board examination is a big milestone in the life of any student. Not only is the syllabus of the board exams very detailed, but it is also the first big-scale exam a student faces. Whether it is CBSE, ICSE, MP Board, Bihar Board or West Bengal Madhyamik, the results of board exams have a key role in deciding a student’s higher studies.
It can often happen in the board exams that one or two papers do not go as well as we would have liked. Be it lack of preparation, increased stress, or lack of awareness of exam patterns, it is pretty common to underperform in a paper during the boards. At the same time, some students also make mistakes in the board exams due to stress. So what should you do when a paper does not go according to your expectations? Here are some tips:
Do Not Cry Over Spilled Milk
Once a paper is done, you should not think much about it. Even if it did not go well, overthinking will stress you out and cause upcoming papers to go below expectations too. Instead, focus on the remaining papers.
Share with a Confidante
Speak with a close confidante if a paper goes bad, rather than allowing yourself to become anxious. You can also speak with any career expert you know. In addition, you can talk about this with your professors, parents, siblings, or friends.
Learn from It
It’s not good to be hard on yourself, but it is good to use the experience to make improvements going forward. Examine your mistakes and consider what you may have done better. Is there a specific subject you ought to cover in greater detail in your next revision? Even if it’s unlikely that you’ll be able to review your exam paper, you can still take old papers for upcoming exams to prepare for each one.
