think is like shooting without aiming.

12. HUMANS ARE MOST ILL-EQUIPPED
Can’t fly like birds,
swim like a fish,
climb tree like monkey,
don’t have the eye of eagle,
don’t have a claws & teeth like wildcat.
Physically, humans are helpless & defenseless

possible";
The Loser says, "It may be possible but it is too
difficult."
17. SYSTEMATIC STUDY FOR
THE BOARD EXAMS
Gearing up
Study, solve question banks, and answer
sample papers
Do sample papers without a break to see
whether you can sit continuously for three
hours.
To manage time, check how long you took to
answer each question. Keep track of where
you get stuck
Written practice is also very important.
18. PLAN OF ACTION
Chalk out a well-laid timetable for preparation by
allotting ample time for each subject.
Try to cover every topic and chapter
Be alert and read the questions carefully.
Misinterpretation of questions can be quite
damaging.
Start with the ones that you are more confident
with.
f you can’t remember an answer, do not panic and
move on to the next one. Answers have a way of
springing to mind if your preparation is
thorough.
19. RIGHT CHOICE
Choose numerical over theoretical questions and
find shorter methods to solve them.
You would know the answers, but presenting
them well is very important.
Write neatly and underline concepts to make it
easy for the examiner to find answer points.
Remember to leave some time for revision at the
end and re-check the paper carefully.
Ensure at least 6 hours of sound sleep a day. A
rested mind is in a better state to grasp the
questions.
20. CALMNESS HELPS
Regular and consistent study helps more than
bursts in the last mile.
Don’t discuss the paper soon after the exam — you
have other exams coming up and it is important
to stay focused
Enjoy the preparation and live the momentEnjoy
the preparation and live the moment
No matter what people say, it is only an exam. It
is the beginning of your life in many ways and not
the end,
