Exam Season

-



Exam. What do I tell you about it? The moment I hear the word exams I can feel all the previous classes’ exams rushing around in my head. The nervousness, the books, the learning, in short, the EVERYTHING. The “Exam Season” here is the month of September and October. But the nervousness starts the moment we receive the scary-looking exam timetable.


My Mid-term exams ended just last week, and trust me when I tell you, it was tiring, it always is. You think you would get a break after it, but unfortunately, I have classes till Diwali. 


Exams are almost always stressful, but that doesn’t mean you can’t tackle them with ease. I am a fairly good student in terms of studying, but I still struggle (everyone does, trust me). I am currently in class 9th and honestly, after the 25% reduced syllabus of class 8, the full syllabus for class 9 seems A LOT. 


In this blog, I will be giving you some tips on how to tackle this exam season and tell you some stuff I learned from the recent exam season. 


STUDY

The only way to not take as much stress is to actually start studying before the exams and not just one day before. This is one of the tips our teachers have been giving us for years now. This is the time we take it seriously. I started my exam studies almost one or two weeks before the exams, but now I realize I should have been regular in studies from the beginning.

COVER ALL THE TOPICS

Even if you are not starting your studies before the exam week(s), make sure you cover the entire syllabus. Leaving some chapters as an option may seem smart and it sometimes is. Only leave chapters when you are 110% sure that there is an option. If not I strongly advise you to study all the chapters before appearing for any exam

CHECK THE PAPER PATTERN

This is related to the previous point. The paper pattern allows you to prepare the type of questions and with that the needful information required for you to appear in the exam. For example, The ICSE Biology paper mainly consists of objective type and observation-based questions, so while studying I made sure to learn all the experiments and the important definitions and anything I felt could have come. 


These are some tips I recently learned from this recent exam season, and I hope this will benefit you in your upcoming exams. Read more blogs like this on our website Sunflower-ness Blog

Marks

  Bad Morning. It’s time to dress up. Drag yourself to the bathroom. Wear that hideous and ill-fitting uniform. Pack your bag. Head out with Ma. It’s result day. Every atom of your body is nervous. Your mind is only revolving around the worst-case scenarios. “Did I perform well enough in History?” “What if I fail, and Neha passes? Or worse- she is the topper and I missed it by a mark?” “Why can’t my papers just disappear?”   Hello, and welcome to the nightmare of every Indian teenager ever! That was my situation on Saturday. Result Days are always nerve-racking experiences. It’s the same kind of anxiety you get on the day of the exam, except that this one has wilder fantasies. Why is that so? Because marks are a dominating factor in an Indian’s lifetime. The numbers determine your future. Your value is lies within those numbers.  Now, when you look at it from an Indian Aunty’s perspective, this system sounds quite fair. The able ones go ahead, get what they deserve, beca...

Bharatanatyam

  Photo Credits There are many forms of art. Like drawing, painting, dancing, and many more. Talking about dancing, which also has many types, the one I most enjoy is Bharatanatyam. I began Bharatnatyam almost 5 years ago. When I started It was a brand new concept to me. I was really eager to learn it all and get it right. I love to attend dance classes. Even during the pandemic the dance academy, I have joined, is taking classes online. I once asked 2 or 3 schoolmates if they danced or not, 1 of them did but she told me she got bored after six months. There I was thinking about how could a person get bored of such a beautiful dance form. I mean everyone has their opinions, I agree, but I always used to question that. Anyway, the first 2-3 years of Bharatnatyam are spent learning the basic steps which are going to help build the steps for the dance items we learn (I don't know if this is true for all dance academies but this is how I am learning). Then after that, we learn the basi...

Ethnic Wear Part 2 (Desi Girl Era)

The college season has officially settled in. We’re also expecting festivities to begin later next month. Thus, I thought this would be the perfect time to upload a part 2 to the desi wear blog . Furthermore, I absolutely love making these collections! This time, we’ll take a step ahead by applying the pieces we learned about previously to daily life. The last blog was concentrated on Indian wear. Now, we’re stepping into indo-western ideas. This involves mixing up closet basics with Indian wear. We would love to inspire college ootds, a date outfit or even a party look with the following suggestions. 1. White – Tee Obsessions: My white T-shirt is the most worn article in my closet. I could survive on nearly every occasion with a white T-shirt. For the outfits below, I have paired them with a comfortable pair of Indian pyjamas. They are breathable and easy-breezy. This particular pair of bottoms has been stolen from a kurta set. A pretty embroidered bag, a pair of kol...
