The last 100 days before board exams: a week-by-week plan

Most boards hold the Class 10 and 12 exams between February and April. If your exams start in the last week of February, your 100 days begin in mid-November. Check your board's date sheet when it comes out.

Find your board and its usual exam months

Part 1, days 1 to 50: finish and understand

List every chapter of every subject and mark it green (I know it), yellow (half) or red (not yet).
Do 2 chapters a day from different subjects, starting with the red ones.
Read the chapter from your textbook, solve its exercise, then take a short test on it.
Write every wrong answer in a mistakes notebook.

Part 2, days 51 to 80: revise and practise

Revise 3 chapters a day from your own notes and the textbook.
Solve a past paper or a sample paper every second day, in exam time.
Check each paper honestly; every mistake goes into the notebook.
Practise writing answers the way the board marks them: points, diagrams, headings.

Questions

Is 100 days enough to prepare for board exams?

Yes, with a daily plan: about 50 days to finish the syllabus, 30 to revise and practise papers, and 20 for full papers and rest.

How many hours should I study in the last 100 days?

Most students do well with 5 to 7 focused hours on holidays and 2 to 3 hours on school days, with a short break every hour.

Should I study from guides or the textbook?

The textbook first. Board papers are set on the textbook; use past papers for practice and guides only for extra questions.

When do board exams start?

Most boards hold them between February and April. Your board's page on Gyanmor shows the usual months; the date sheet comes from your board.
