Every single mark in board exams can be decisive in your career. Scoring good marks in practical exams for Class 12 requires thorough preparation and the right approach. Here are some tips to help you excel:
1. Understand the Marking Scheme
- Familiarize yourself with the marking scheme provided by CBSE for your subject. Marks are usually distributed across practical file, viva, experiment, and general performance.
2. Prepare a Neat and Complete Practical File
- Ensure your practical file is complete, accurate, and neatly presented
- Write legibly and use proper formatting.
- Include diagrams, graphs, and charts wherever necessary.
- Get your file checked and signed by your teacher on time.
- Add a table of contents and ensure all pages are properly numbered.
3. Seek Guidance from Teachers
- Your teacher is your best friend for your practical exams. Be obedient and cooperative with your teachers and follow all instructions diligently.
- Take mock viva sessions or extra lab practice if needed.
"Success is the sum of preparation, practice, and perseverance.🏆"
4. Dress and Behaviour
- Wear proper lab attire (e.g., lab coat, gloves, safety goggles if required).
- Be polite, attentive, and confident.
- Arrive early to avoid last-minute stress.
5. Time Management
- Never be late for the practical exam as it may cause anxiety and teachers may also face problem in conducting the exam.
- Practice completing your experiments within the given time frame.
- Although total time for practical may be 3hrs, but actual time for practical may be reduced because of viva and other formalities. Therefore, set a target to complete practical within 2-2.5hrs.
- If possible, rehearse the complete practical session, including writing observations and calculations.
- Be aware of time and manage accordingly, e.g. if apparatus is busy, use the time to prepare the examination sheet
