Tripura Board Class 12 Preparation Tips

Regular and honest practice is the key to mastering mathematical concepts and equations. Make a habit of solving mathematical problems daily and develop tricks and shortcuts to speed up the process. Repetition and revision is the key to success. Remember this mantra.

• Do Honest and Consistent Preparation: Board exams test the knowledge and understanding of all the concepts from different subjects. It requires consistent and honest efforts. So, it is recommended that all students should be honest with themselves. Passing the Tripura Class 12 board exams is not that difficult; students can clear it if they study for the exam daily. Thorough preparation becomes essential, especially if students are looking to score 90+ marks in the exam. Do not miss studying on any single day. Make a habit of studying every day. 
• Be Confident: When there is plenty of time to study all the subjects and revise them thoroughly. Avoid negative thinking and prepare for the exam with a positive mindset.
• Make Proper Notes for Each Subject: It is not practical and feasible to go through all the concepts and sections completely at the last moment. That is when revision notes and charts come in handy. When studying, make a habit of taking notes. Prepare a quick recall sheet for each subject and list all of the important points. In the notes, students can include important formulas, hints, and important points to help solve the question paper in the shortest time possible. It will be useful on the day of the exam to take a quick glance over the entire subject.
• Improve Problem-Solving Skill: Solving a question is one thing and solving it in the stipulated time frame is another. When there is limited time during the exam, it becomes very important to work on problem-solving skills. All the students are advised to practice previous year question papers and sample papers to make a habit of solving questions quickly.

Tripura Board Class 12 Detailed Study plan

It is easy to pass the board exams with flying colours if students have the right books and study materials. Students also need a smart and detailed study plan. Create a comprehensive routine and follow that honestly daily. 

Stick to a smart and strict schedule. Do not rely on cramming. Learn all the fundamentals first, and then go on to more detailed planning. Students may give the best shot for Tripura 12th board exam preparation by following a well-defined study plan and putting in honest and consistent efforts.

Preparation Tips For Mathematics

Mathematics is all about practice and practice. Hence students must devise a well-thought-out strategy and study plan. Keep in mind the following points to prepare for the basic questions that will be asked in the exam:

• Revise Text Books: Practice both Board books and NCERT books.
• Practice Mock Tests: In addition to studying the textbooks, go through the previous year papers in order to succeed in the exam. Mock tests and practice questions are available for on Embibe. To pass the board exam with good marks, sign up on Embibe and start practicing.
• Sample Papers: TBSE releases sample papers prior to the exam. It helps students get an idea of the type of questions asked along with the marks distribution and the total number of questions.
• All Questions Must Be Attempted: Since there is no negative marking in the exam, all questions must be attempted.

Preparation Tips For Physics

Physics is a subject that requires a lot of problem-solving. Students should focus more on formulas and numerically based on those formulas. Go through any guidebook and memorise all the formulas and important tricks. Don’t just solve problems; understand them as well. This will help solve similar problems that will be asked in the exam.

• Make a habit of solving questions daily.
• Go through the previous year’s questions and see the type of questions that have been asked in the exam.
• Always make notes and cheat sheets for quick reference in the final days before the exam.
• Time management is equally crucial for preparation. While taking mock tests, keep an eye on the timer to not waste time.

Preparation Tips For Chemistry

Chemistry is all about reactions, chemical equations and remembering chemical formulas. So it is necessary to go through these things in detail. Like other subjects, refer to the Government textbooks to start 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.
• To prepare for the Science portion, join online study groups.
• There will be questions about unit conversion and the fundamentals of cell development.

Preparation Tips For Biology

Biology is a subject that requires plenty of things to memorise. Hence, it is advisable to prepare for Biology in the mornings since that is the best time for memorisation. Draw diagrams and figures in Biology a lot, so start practising diagrams. 

• Go through important topics and make notes which will come in 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 full marks for any question. 
• MCQs are an important part of Biology, so practise these questions as well regularly.

Preparation Tips for English

To get good marks in English, students must study the subject regularly. There are different sections in English, and students must plan accordingly.

• The questions asked in the exam are not very difficult, so with consistent efforts, one is sure to get excellent marks in English.
• Put 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 answering.
