ICSE Preparation Tips 2024

Students preparing for the ICSE board exam 2024 can make use of the following preparation tips:

Make a plan: It can be very daunting to handle a huge syllabus of ICSE 2024 board exams and try to keep track of what you know and what you do not. Therefore, it is essential to make a study plan with weekly targets/goals for the syllabus to be covered. 

Solve sample question papers: Students must solve as many ICSE 10th sample question papers as possible for better exam preparation. Sample papers familiarise you with the ICSE board exam pattern and type of questions, and the model papers also help improve your writing speed.

Revise often: All hard work and planning will be ineffective if you do not revise what you have learned. Revising twice or thrice is essential for good results.

Sufficient sleep: Every day, one should take a deep sleep of 7-8 hours and, if needed, take quick naps in between. Don't avoid sleep to devote more time to your studies. 

Find time to relax: Taking adequate breaks between studies is essential to retain your mental energy, thus improving concentration. Therefore, find your leisure methods to take short breaks from your studies.
