Prepare a suitable Study Plan: Students need to first go through the NBSE HSSLC syllabus 2025-26 and prepare a suitable study plan accordingly. While preparing the daily NBSE HSSLC study schedule, keep in mind that giving enough time to sleep and for sports is equally important. Once the daily study plan is prepared, follow it religiously.
Don’t have too much on your plate: Exercise your brain in a constructive way, and do not burden it with a lot of thoughts. Be clear in your mind and do not pressure to cover things that are beyond reach. Make realistic targets for a day. Do not overdo things. Do not try and study everything in a single day. Try taking it slow and apportion revision accordingly. Of the five or six subjects, pick up two or a maximum of three subjects and pick up a topic or two from each and go into the depths of the topics, instead of skimming 8 to 10 topics.
Follow a proper schedule: Sleep early, get up early in the morning, have a proper breakfast, and then begin to study for NBSE 12th exams 2023. Do not stay up late and worry about counter-productive moments. Keep preparing for the important day. Take out an hour or two to relax and not think about the exams. Read, sleep, play, or do whatever you think diverts your attention away from exams.
Solve sample papers: It is important that students solve as many NBSE HSSLC previous years' question papers for better preparation of the exam. These make one familiar with the exam pattern, type of questions asked, duration of the exam, and much more. Students must keep in mind to solve the complete sample paper within the stipulated time. this will help them time management too.
Mix and match: It is important to have all the essential ingredients while studying. Do not have all easy subjects/topics in a day or do not overburden one with topics that they find difficult. To maximize the output, start the “study day” with a light subject for an hour or so, once warmed up, take up a heavy subject or a topic. Study that for two hours or so and gradually increase the level of preparation.
