CBSE Term 2 Exams Last Leg Preparation Tips From Past Year Toppers

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) term 2 exams will begin on 26 April for classes 10 and 12. While the class 12 exams will begin with entrepreneurship, class 10 will commence with painting. Unlike term 1, wherein the question paper featured MCQ format, the CBSE term 2 will be held in the subjective mode. Hence, the questions will feature some internal choices as well as subjective and case-based questions. With just a few days left for the final exams of the session, here are a few tips by the topper of CBSE 2020 and 2021 on what went into acing the boards:

Hiteshwar Sharma

Hiteshwar was the topper of CBSE class 12 board exams in 2021. A student of Bhavan Vidyalaya, Sector-15, Panchkula, he scored 100 in sociology, political science, economics, and physical education. Sharing preparation tips, he said the mantra is “continuous study with full concentration” and regular revisions. “One cannot be a topper with just a two-month study; one has to toil for years to become a topper,” he said.

Aishaani Vaidya

The class 12 topper of 2021, from Army Public School, Noida, Aishaani, had scored 499 out of 500. She got a perfect 100 in English, Economics, Computer Science, and Psychology. Mathematics was the only subject in which she lost a mark. She had to resort to online classes like others. “Online learning has been difficult. However, I don’t think every child had the privilege to do so. We had our teachers by our side who helped us with our education. If teachers don’t help you with your learning, then it becomes all the more difficult,” says Aishaani.

Tushar Singh

In the arts stream, Tushar Singh from Delhi Public School, Bulandshahr, scored a 500/500 in class 12 in 2020. He did not take any tuition. The results were announced through internal assessment as CBSE had to cancel the exam that year as well due to the Covid-19 pandemic. As a result, he had a more relaxed approach to his studies. “I didn’t follow any strict routine while studying. I just studied around 7 hours a day,” he said.

Karishma Arora and Hansika Shukla

In 2019, Karishma Arora and Hansika Shukla emerged as the joint toppers. Both of them secured 499 marks each. Karishma hails from Muzaffarnagar was also the first student from her city to top the CBSE class 12 exams. Her “meticulous planning” throughout the year helped her achieve the score, said she. She also gave time to Kathak, who acted as a de-stressor for her. Meanwhile, Hansika divided her syllabus into chapters and topics. She even read newspapers to learn about current affairs as well.
