Preparation Tips

Students who receive high grades in exams put in a lot of effort during preparation, and score better than an average student. This is due to the fact that they study according to a set of guidelines. They have a study regimen that they stick to for months and get incredible results. As a result, all students must create a comprehensive study schedule in order to improve their grades. Here are some pointers to consider:

1. Identify and make a list of the strong and weak topics in various subjects. Consider the most and least important things as well. Give yourself additional time to study the most crucial or challenging topics.
2. Take brief notes on each chapter and topic. This will assist you in reviewing the subjects prior to the exam. You can’t remember anything from books at the last minute. It will take up a significant amount of time. Short notes assist you in gaining a quick understanding of the overall picture of each of the topics.
3. Solving previous year’s question papers is the greatest technique to learn the exam pattern and gain writing speed simultaneously. This provides detailed information on the exam pattern, scoring scheme, and key themes. So, every day, attempt to solve at least one question paper. You’ll also learn how to manage your time during the exam.
4. Don’t take your health for granted. You study for hours during the preparation, which has an impact on your health. As a result, while studying for the exam, you should eat healthy foods and exercise/meditate regularly. This improves your attention while also balancing your focus.
5. If you don’t understand anything or are unsure about how to solve a problem, you can seek assistance from your teachers. You can also contact your peers.

Exam Taking Strategy

Here are some strategies to help you improve your performance and grades in your Goa 6th exams.

1. Be prepared

• There is no replacement for planning ahead of time. If you haven’t studied during the semester, you will be penalised. If you haven’t studied before the test, do so now. All the test-taking tactics in the world won’t help you if you don’t understand the material. The importance of preparation cannot be overstated.
• Spend as much time as you need to fully comprehend the content covered on the test in order to earn a good score.
• Spend time sharpening test-taking abilities, as teachers frequently adjust content on tests to assess if pupils have a thorough knowledge of ideas.

2. Always arrive early and take a moment to relax

• Taking time to relax will boost your self-assurance.
• For the upcoming test, you’ll be able to limit your emphasis.
• Arriving early may provide you the opportunity to ask the instructor any last-minute queries or listen to other students’ explanations. Some study tools advise arriving early to prevent “brain pickers,” or students who ask questions just before a test, but we disagree. We believe that arriving a bit early will benefit you more.

3. Pay close attention to the instructor’s last-minute instructions.

• It is not uncommon for professors to make last-minute changes to test details.
• If you forget to follow the test instructions, your test anxiety will skyrocket.
• If you don’t understand the test instructions, don’t be afraid to ask for them to be repeated.

4. Do a memory dump

• A memory dump can be an especially effective method for boosting test performance in certain situations.
• As soon as you start the test, jot down any information you think you’ll need to know but are afraid of forgetting. (Formulas, equations, dates, lists, and so on)

5. Pay close attention to the test instructions and look for details.

• Frequently, test questions and directions contain useful information. Always read all instructions thoroughly to ensure that you understand what is being requested of you.
• On a multiple-choice question, it is not rare to have two right answers. Pay close attention to the small things.

6. Make a plan for how you’ll spend the time you’ve been given.

• Estimate the amount of time you’ll have for each segment of the test and each question. Allow extra time for portions that are more difficult or that are weighted more highly in the final test grade.
• Pace yourself so you can finish the test in the time provided.
• Complete the questions you are familiar with first, then return to the problems you are unsure about.

Detailed Study plan

Check out the best tips and strategies for passing the Goa Board Class 6 Annual Exam 2021-22. Some of the most important exam preparation resources can also be found here.

1. Check your syllabus first
Exam preparations should begin with a review of your syllabus. Check it out to get a sense of what you need to do to prepare for the exam. Only the new Goa board Class 6 syllabus should be used. Read the most recent syllabus. Understand the topics/chapters that have been removed from the new syllabus.

2. Know the exam pattern and marks distribution
The Goa board Class 6 exam would take place in schools. The modified and reduced syllabus will be the sole basis for the exam.

3. Create a chapter-by-chapter list of formulas.
For all the subjects prepare the relevant formulas, theorems and definitions.

4. Solve textbook questions
Knowing the formulas at your fingertips will not help you earn the grades you desire unless you understand how to use them effectively. To achieve this, you must finish all of the textbook questions at least twice. Examine the cases that have been resolved as well. This will enable you to answer any type of problem by applying the appropriate formula or reasoning based on an applicable theorem or axiom. Because the majority of exam questions are taken directly from the textbook, answering textbook questions is especially important.

5. Clear your doubts
Throughout your exam preparations, you may have various doubts, whether they are related to any topics or exams. Speak with professionals, whether they be your parents, instructors, or classmates, to dispel any doubts you may have. Avoid even the smallest doubts or fears that may arise in your mind. Rather, have them all answered at once. This can help you stay calm and prevent tension, helping you to do well in the approaching exam.

• Eat Properly. Your body requires nutrients from meals in order to function effectively. The food you eat has an impact on how you feel emotionally and physically. Foods high in fat or sugar, for example, can make you feel heavy or lethargic. When our bodies have the fuel and nutrition they require, it is much easier to manage stress and anxiety.
• Sleep Well. Relax before going to bed. Your bed is a haven, not a workstation. A good night’s sleep can assist you recall what you’ve learned. Get plenty of rest, especially in the days leading up to your tests.
• Exercise. Running and swimming, for example, will leave you feeling peaceful, refreshed, and energised for hours. So make time for exercise in your schedule.
• Distract Strategies. Use distracting tactics to assist you manage your stressful or anxious feelings, such as utilising a stress ball, chewing gum, sipping ice water, or fidget toys like an elastic band on your wrist or moulded putties.
• Positive Thoughts or Cheerleading Statements. Combat worry or negative ideas like “I’m going to fail” or “I can’t do this” with optimistic thoughts or cheering remarks like “I got this” or “I’m going to try my hardest, I know what I’m doing.” Make a list of positive or cheerleading statements and hang them around your study environment.
• Relaxation Techniques. Breathing exercises can help reduce tension and anxiety while studying or writing tests. For example, close your eyes for a minute, inhale for a count of three, exhale for a count of five, and repeat. It simply takes a moment and allows your body and mind to relax, allowing you to concentrate better.
• Talk to someone. If you continue to feel extremely anxious, speak with someone you trust, whether it is a parent, teacher, therapist, or friend. Sometimes just talking about it might help you feel better, and the person you talk to may be able to help you put things into perspective.

A. At this age kids can be given more real life examples to make them understand and get interested in studies.
