CBSE Class 12 Preparation

CBSE Class 12 2025 Preparation Tips: How to Get 100 Out of 100?

Half-Yearly Exam

Now, the majority of the aspirants are preparing for their half-yearly exam which is knocking at the door. We know that for the half-yearly exam, you have hardly 7 to 10 days, but we don't want you to waste it. So, use your time wisely. For the half-yearly exam, divide your time into two categories 1) Before the Exam and 2) During Preparatory Holidays.

Before Exam

In this 7-10-day time, you will have to cover the chapters that are not done in periodic tests. To cover these chapters, divide them into tough chapters and easy chapters. Start revision with an easy chapter. Indulge 1-1.5 hours for easy and 2-2.5 hours for tough chapters. After revision, try to solve NCERT questions.

CBSE Class 12 NCERT Solutions

During Preparatory Holidays

Revise chapters that are already revised and given in the exams. During these preparatory holidays use 50% of your time to revise theories and 50% time in practice questions.

Final Preparation
