Preparation tips for ISC Board Exams
- As you know, the ISC Syllabus 2020 for class 12 has been reduced, so you need to study according to it. Keep a copy of the ISC 12 new syllabus and ISC new marking scheme with you and ensure you study the topics that are covered in the syllabus.
- You need to manage your study time well and complete the ISC Syllabus before the exams start. You need to do at least one revision of the whole syllabus before the exams and one during the exam gaps.
- The written papers of ISC Board class 12th exams are 3 hours long, so you need to practice writing your answers clearly and neatly within 3 hours. You also need time to think about the answers to tough questions and re-check your answers, so you will need to focus on time management during exams. Solving ISC Sample papers and previous year papers can help you with these things.
- If you want to complete the ISC syllabus easily and score good in ISC exams, then it will be possible only if you follow a schedule and do continuous practice or revisions.
- You must note that the passing marks are still 35% marks even if the ISC syllabus has been reduced. So the marks will increase for some chapters, and you will need to pay attention to all the chapters covered in the syllabus.
