  2. Students must prepare their syllabus keeping in view of the importance of exams. They must prepare the contents/topics first which have more scores in the exams and then next and so on. They must prepare it from easy to difficult. Easy topics may be prepared first and then move from easy to difficult.
  3. Students must focus on more scoring and easy topics.They must select first those topics which they have prepared previously in their early exams and need less preparation for final exams and then prepare those which need more hard work. They must prepare the difficult topics at the last.

They must know also the marks allotted to each topic so that students may spare more time for preparation of important topics and then they may move from important to less important topics and so on.
  5. Students must go through the topic three to four times and then try to write without a book/copy. If the students are able to write without book/,copy. It means it is well prepared otherwise to revise again and then to write. It must be repeated till they cannot write without the help of the book. After that, they may move to the next topic. By this way they may prepare for exams.

  8. Students must prepare the value of constants, formulas, units and conversion of units to solve numerical and mathematical questions. They may prepare science and mathematics by solving more and more unsolved problems with the help of solved problems. It will help them to solve numerical and mathematical problems. It will also help to enhance the confidence of the students in the subjects like science and mathematics.

  10. Students must practice to write the answers as per requirement of questions. They must go through the question carefully to know what to answer. It is an important skill. Unnecessary writing of answers may be harmful. It may mismanage the time to complete the Question paper. Students must write the answers as per the Question's requirement. One mark question may require the answer to have one word or one to two lines. Two-mark questions require answers in three to four lines. Three-mark questions require a half-page answer and five-mark questions require a maximum of two two-page answers Hence go through the questions two to three times to know what to answer.

It also increases mastery of the subject hence we must ensure more and more revision of the subjects before exams. The frequently organised test by school and self tests also helps in exams preparations. The students may organise a self-test on holidays. These tests may be from sample papers or from previous year question papers. The students may check these tests either by himself/herself or with the help of his/her teachers.
