In most cases, these internals are for 20 marks, and the main examination for all subjects is for 80 marks each. Exams take place twice a year- half-yearly and annual and students must secure a minimum of 33%, which means that a score of 26 and above out of 80 is considered a passing mark.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the case of classes X and XII, CBSE has reorganized its <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">exam pattern<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and updated that 40% of the questions in board exams will be multiple choice questions, 20% of them will be competency-based, and the remaining 40% of questions will be subjective or short answer type. The final exams will be held only once a year, but schools affiliated with CBSE may conduct pre-boards based on their needs. The internal assessment of every paper will include practical exams, viva, and tests to assess students&#8217; competence.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">CBSE grading system<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is not based on percentage but instead gives grades from A to E, denoting the range of percentage scored in each subject. It can also be a number from 1 to 10, representing the range of marks scored in a particular topic. For the final result, the cumulative grade point average <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">(CGPA)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is calculated by adding the numerical grade in each subject and dividing it by the total number of subjects.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Causes of exam stress <\/b><b>in students<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Students preparing for regular or board exams are very likely to experience exam stress, especially when the exams are near. Let us explore the various<\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skvgwalior.org\/blog\/exam-stress\/\"> reasons for exam stress<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> among students.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Parents&#8217; expectations<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8211; It is prevalent in families that students are often overburdened with parent&#8217;s <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">high academic expectations<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and the pressure to perform well academically to score high grades. The intense pressure to achieve good grades is a primary c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ause of exam stress.\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Mismanagement of time<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8211; Students throughout their school life have to tackle multiple subjects at once and prepare for viva, practicals and theories for each of them. It is essential to manage time for each subject. Students tend to overlook time management challenges and leave <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">exam preparations<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> until the last days, which leads to stress.\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Lack of preparation<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8211; Students may find a few subjects easier while others are complex. It is advised to study and make notes for complex theories in advance to avoid burdening themselves at the last moment. Feeling unprepared or underprepared for any exam can lead to stress and impact student performance in every exam.\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Health-related issues<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8211; Mental wellness and physical health go hand in hand. Mental health issues, such as illness, lack of sleep, or any existing mental disorders, such as anxiety disorders, can accelerate exam stress and impact the physical health of students. It is therefore advised for students to get proper sleep and meals at all times.\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Peer pressure<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8211; Students often compete with their peers to score better. While healthy competition helps in encouraging students to study, excess peer pressure may also cause students to develop a fear of failure, which can be stressful.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><b>Tips for<\/b><b> CBSE exam<\/b><b> success\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">CBSE exam<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is more about assessing what students have learnt and accumulated from their syllabus instead of just mindlessly learning and pouring into the answer sheets. To pass the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">CBSE exam<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, students must follow these tips-<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Know your learning style<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8211; The <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skvgwalior.org\/blog\/how-to-identify-your-childs-primary-learning-style\/\">primary learning style<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> of every student differs; while some can memorize, others look for practical learning with visual aids. It is essential to know this before beginning <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">exam preparations <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">to have adequate resources and study material that careers to your learning style.\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Categorize your subjects<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8211; While certain subjects and topics may be elementary to understand and grasp, other subjects can be tough and challenging for students to understand. It is necessary to give more time and attention to such subjects and be prepared beforehand to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">avoid exam stress.\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Create a study schedule<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8211; Based on the subject categories, carefully plan a schedule that gives more time to complex subjects or theories. The rest of the time can be divided among other topics and revision.\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Take notes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8211; Students can make flowcharts, side notes, diagrams, or mind maps to help them revise and remember whatever they are studying. Notes are a crucial factor that helps retain the learned information in our eidetic memory.\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Practising previous years&#8217; question papers<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8211; Solving the<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> previous year&#8217;s exam papers<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is an intelligent strategy for <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">CBSE exam preparation<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. These papers are available for students at the school library. There are multiple books for students that compile ten-year papers of the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">CBSE board <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">for the ease of students. Students gain more confidence while solving the papers and become familiar with the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">CBSE exam pattern.\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Regular revision<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8211; Students overlook the importance of revising what has been studied. It is necessary to spend time on revision as it helps in retaining and jogging the memory, thereby storing information in the short-term memory from the subconscious.\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Utilizing resources<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8211; Students use mobiles and other devices for entertainment purposes. These gadgets can also be used for extracting study material and expanding the use of available resources to learn and study in a simplified way. YouTube videos, blogs, and articles can help clear complex concepts.\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Minimise distractions<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8211; Even if you study for an hour, ensure you are well-focused and not distracted by your surroundings or other thoughts. Parents must create a quiet, distraction-free study environment that nurtures the academic performance of students.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These are a few tips that will help students strategically prepare for their <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">CBSE exam<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, keep away <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">exam stress<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and perform well in their academics.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">SKV is a CBSE-affiliated boarding school in India that educates girls from class VI onwards.
