NIOS 12th Preparation Tips 2025: Know Complete Strategy & Guide

Students can also take the help of the preparation tips mentioned below to have a better idea on the same.

1. Make a timetable and stick to it
   Once you are done with covering the syllabus, make a timetable. Allott specific time for each subject. Make sure that you stick to it religiously. It will allow you to cover each subject daily. This will keep you stress-free while giving adequate time to revise your syllabus.
2. Don't procrastinate
   Stop leaving a day's practice on the next day. This way you will never cover all the topics on time. Being on time requires persistence and patience and this definitely pays off.
3. Read, write and practice
   One of the proven ways to memorise formulae and chemical diagrams is by writing. So always write while you revise. This helps in easily memorising the chapters.
4. Do not panic
   Just because some of your friends revised multiple times does not mean that you should panic. Everyone has their own learning curve. Proceed as per your plan. Panicking affects exam preparation. So keep yourself calm but concentrated.
5. Take proper sleep
   Do not sacrifice your sleep. It makes you lose focus and you will feel dull throughout the day. Always sleep for a minimum of 8 hours every day.
6. Eat well
   Eat a balanced diet. Stay away from street food or fast food. Many students living away from home think that street food saves them time for more study. But they miss basic nutrients. Street food is prepared in unhygienic conditions and leads to digestive issues. Also, do not overindulge in caffeine. It leads to acidity and heartburn.
7. Avoid distractions
   Stay away from the TV and smart devices. They are major distractions. Even researches prove that infrared rays from the smart devices affect your concentration. 
8. Every subject is important
   In class XII you need to pass in five subjects. So, pay attention to subjects other than Chemistry too. In fact, you can divide your whole day into 5 equal parts dedicated to each subject. This will lead to uniform preparation and a better average.
9.  Practical paper holds as much importance as the theory examination
   While theory paper is of 70 marks, the practical paper is of 30 marks and you need to pass it as well. Students must attend the lab sessions and maintain their practical record. 
10. Exams are not the end
    We know that class XII boards are important but they are not everything. Do not make it a question of life or death. If you score low, then you can appear for complementary exams, apply for re-evaluation or go for supplementary exams. Also, there are multiple courses that need your dedication and passion and not just marks. So, focus on getting knowledge rather than scoring marks.
11. Practice old question papers

Students are advised to solve and learn the NIOS 12th question papers and sample papers. This will help students to get an idea of the marking scheme of the NIOS 12th exam. It will also help students to improve the NIOS 12th result.
