Students need to prepare an effective study plan to cover the Kerala Board Class 12 syllabus so that they can score high marks in the examinations. By referring to and following the preparation tips shared in the upcoming sections of this article, students can score maximum marks in the exams.

Kerala Board Class 12 Preparation Tips

Below we have provided preparation tips for Kerala Board Class 12 exams:

• Students should not try to cram the entire syllabus prior to the exams. Instead, they should try to understand the concepts so that they can answer all the questions effectively in the exams.
• While studying, students should refer to the exam syllabus and devote maximum time to textbooks since they provide the majority of the questions asked in the Kerala Board Class 12 exams.
• Identify the weak areas and start working on them so that the overall percentage does not decline. Instead of keeping the weaker sections for the last, give more time to those sections and concentrate on mastering them.
• Students should solve the previous year question papers to get a brief idea of all the questions asked in the exams.

Kerala Board Class 12 Detailed Study Plan

We have prepared a sample timetable for last month’s preparation strategy. Make a timetable for each topic separately. You might change it to match your requirements. Set up a certain time frame each day to study, and you’ll realise that it makes everything much easier.

Days	Subjects
1-4	Physics – Physics is a topic that requires a substantial amount of problem-solving. You should concentrate more on formulae and numericals derived from them. Memorize all of the formulae and key tricks from any reference book. It’s not enough to simply solve problems; you need also be able to fully understand them. This will assist you with solving problems identical to those that will be given on the exam.
5-9	Chemistry – Reactions, chemical equations, and chemical formulae are all part of chemistry. As a result, it is important to go through these details thoroughly. Like other subjects, refer to the SCERT books to start your preparation and also refer to other reference books to understand the concepts better. Make a chart listing all the important chemical formulas and reactions. There are more than 30 important chemical reactions, so memorise them and revise regularly. Balancing reactions is an important part of chemistry preparation, so make a habit of writing chemical equations daily.
10-15	Maths – It is all about practise. Firstly, clear the basic fundamentals and concepts of the subject. Make a list of formulas and tricks to solve the questions quickly. Keep in mind the following points to prepare for the basic questions that will be asked in the exam: Revise SCERT Books: As the Kerala Board 12 syllabus is the same as the SCERT, students should study from the SCERT mathematics books that Kerala Board has prescribed for Class 12. Practise Mock Tests: In addition to studying through the SCERT books, also go through the previous year papers in order to succeed in the exam. Mock tests and practise questions are available for on Embibe. To pass the board exam with good marks, sign up on Embibe and start practising. All questions must be attempted: Since there is no negative marking in the exam, all questions must be attempted.
16-18	English – To get good marks in English, you must study the subject regularly. There are different sections in English, and you will have to plan your study accordingly. The questions asked in the exam are not very difficult, so with consistent efforts, you are sure to get excellent marks in English. Give extra focus on the Grammar section as it can become a little tricky. In the Reading section, make a habit of reading the composition thoroughly before you start answering.
19-22	Biology – Biology is a subject that requires plenty of things to memorise. Hence, it is advisable to prepare for Biology in the morning since that is the best time for memorisation. You will need to draw diagrams and figures in Biology a lot, so start practising on diagrams. Go through important topics and make your own notes which will come in very handy during the final days of the examination. Make careful observations on the labelling of diagrams and figures since wrong labelling is not going to get you full marks for any question.
22-26	Revise all the subjects
26-30	Solve Sample or Previous Years Papers
