CBSE notes – A key to secure better marks

There is no one way to study. Some students go through the whole syllabus while preparing for exams while some students choose to just go through the key points. For some scoring good marks in exams is still a dream. The experts recommend preparing notes for each subject as it is an easy way to score high marks in all subjects. There are several good reasons as to ‘why one should prepare notes?’ And the list, believe me goes longer than thought.

 For preparing CBSE notes one has to go through the entire chapter to find out the important concepts in the chapter. An exercise like this also helps in finding out the key points in the chapter. One can go through such notes just before the exam as they consist of key points. It makes revision easy and quick. Reading through one’s own notes helps in understanding and it is commonly believed that writing helps to remember better. Listed below are some important points that one should keep in mind before preparing notes.

  • Be precise - While preparing notes one should know which points to include as the key points and which to summarize.
  • Use visual cues - For some students it is easy to learn concepts with the help of figures, diagram, and flow charts etc. So while preparing CBSE notes one should always follow the style of learning that suits them and makes topics easy to learn. One can also use simple language while making CBSE notes as it makes learning easy.
  • Cover all topics - Notes should be prepared in such a manner that it covers each and every topic, starting from the most important ones to the ones that are least important.

Extracting the important studying material should be done after going through the whole chapter. If the CBSE notes are prepared carefully then nothing can come in your way of attempting all the questions and getting good marks. If the CBSE notes are prepared in the correct manner, then a student need not to go through the whole chapter again at the time of revision.

Last minute revision should be avoided as it does not help improve recall but creates confusion. So it is advisable that students do not wait till the last minute to start revising using CBSE notes. All revision should be completed at least an hour before the examination.

Students who wait for the last few days for preparation, usually end up getting confused. It often results in poor recall at the time of attempting the question paper.

The message is clear for all the students. Start preparing your CBSE notes before it is too late. To walk on the path of success, one should follow the above mentioned points. Scoring good marks will no more remain a dream.

Score high with CBSE model papers


Scoring high marks in exams remains a dream for many. Scoring good marks in exams is not easy. One has to put in a lot of effort to crack each and every question. Practicing using CBSE model paper can be very effective as it helps in evaluating a student’s performance. These papers help know the actual preparation of the students. Also these model papers are prepared keeping in mind the pattern of question paper. Marks to each question are allotted keeping in mind the pattern.

After attempting the model paper, a student can easily identify areas that require more preparation. The CBSE model papers are very useful if they are solved or attempted after completing the complete syllabus.

Students usually end-up thinking that in spite of so much hard work why were they not able to perform better? Solving CBSE model papers is beneficial for those who are about to appear for their final exams. CBSE model papers are designed keeping in mind the present CBSE curriculum. This helps students get a clear idea about the marking scheme and questions. With rising competition in studies, every student wants to give their best and score high marks. Studying with CBSE model paper can be very helpful if taken seriously. There are ample types of CBSE model papers available online that a student can access anytime. CBSE model papers are a good tool to manage time during exams. Time management is very important. CBSE model papers give the student an outline of time available to complete the paper. Usually at the time of exams, students face mental pressure. This often results in poor concentration and lack of confidence. Practicing with the help of CBSE Model Papers can help students manage their time effectively in the examination hall thereby helping them reduce the level of test-taking stress.

Generally students do not keep a check on the time allotted to complete the exam and the word limit. It is necessary to write the answers in accordance to the marks. This helps in saving time from writing unnecessary answer.

Students who are planning to attempt the CBSE model papers must note that the CBSE model papers should be attempted only after completing the whole syllabus. Attempting the model paper before finishing the syllabus won’t be helpful. For positive results, attempt the papers once you are through with the whole syllabus.

To elucidate on the benefits of online education to all you students in school out there studying under various boards such as CBSE, ICSE, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu Matriculation Board, here are a few points.

All that a student needs is a computer and an internet connection. Once the necessary hardware components are in place, students can start surfing their way through the plethora of information available online. The advantage of round-the-clock availability of interesting study content has indeed made more students get inclined towards this medium in addition to using other conventional study mediums and methods such as books.
  • A Student-centric teaching approach! Unlink the regular classroom teaching at schools and tuition centres, the online education follows an approach that is more student-centric rather than being teacher- oriented. Students not only have a say in the timing of their study schedules but are also equipped with the power to decide their own pace of learning. While studying online, students are under no pressure whatsoever to complete their studies within a stipulated time period. Online education is especially a boon for students tend to learn at a pace slower than most others in the class, as they can take as much time to understand and learn a concept well as they wish to. While studying online students need not feel shy in asking questions and wanting to read the said study material over and over again.
  • Involvement of multiple media! Studying from simple black and white text is no more a compulsion for students studying under CBSE, ICSE, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu Matriculation board. Online education offers a lot of interesting and innovative methods in teaching concepts to these school students. Apart from the regular study material, students can study using videos, animations, multimedia enriched puzzles etc. There are various websites that provide curriculum aligned study content for these boards using multiple media that can make studies very interesting and learning easy.
  • Low cost! With very low cost involved, online education will not burn a hole in the pockets of students. Unlike study courses at tuition centers that involve a hefty monthly or a yearly fee, online education is a comparatively low cost affair. Apart from the subscription costs, there is no significant cost involved in studying online. Studying using online education, students can save a lot of money and time that is saved in doing away with unnecessary commuting to and fro schools, colleges, tuition centers etc.
