SSLC is very important phase in your education carrier in Karnataka, India. Its also called as 10th Standard Exam. This is the basic exam for how you want to perform better in your future and what you want to be in your future. The good score in SSLC exam decides the base of strong education background for you. In this article, I would like to share some of the important study objectives to prepare for the SSLC exams. I believe its really simple, the SSLC examinees need not worry much about the exam and getting tensed about the same. My name stands as the first rank student in my high school for SSLC which I had not even thought for. Here are some tips & tricks on how you can tackle the SSLC exams.

Learn How the Exam Questions Papers are prepared

This is very important, you must see several sample exam papers before few months of your exam start date. Your study must be carried out the way the the exam questions are carried out. Once you finish studying the syllabus, you have to collect as many as question papers of previous exams. Prepare in the exact sequence how the question papers are prepared. For Example, as a first question you may have 'Match the following; kind of questions. Think about the questions in hand. Prepare 100's of match the following kind of questions in your notebook. I encourage you to have a  preparation notebook per subject. Say for example there is a question about fill in the opposite words given, for this question you need to create around 200 such words and their opposite words. This is how I prepared and managed to score 94 marks out of 100 marks in English Language Subject.

Write Essays of your interest often

There will definitely be a essay question. The essay topic will be presented to you and you need to write an essay about the topic given in the exam question paper. To prepare for this, in your academics, just start writing as many essays as you can choosing the topics of your interest or choosing the topics that previous exam question papers asked. Essay writing is a just writing skill, I believe that every one knows at least something about any essay topic. What is more important is that, you need too structure it very well and illustrate properly.

Understand all the Lessons

Pay attention when your teacher is teaching the subject to understand better the subjects being tought to you.

Ask sufficient questions that you may have on the subject. This will facilitate  understanding the subject more thoroughly and precisely. Its just that you take interest on each and every subject which is there for your exams.

Study in the morning

Morning time is the best time to study and grasp the subjects because, your mind will be free from any other activities. Just stop thinking about anything but just study early in the morning. Studying in in the morning has got many advantages such as you can concentrate more on the topics that you are studying, there will not be any disturbance for you to study etc.

Eat healthy food

Eating healthy food helps you avoid from many diseases that you may capture and put more concentration on your study stuff. Drink lots of water while studying, which will facilitate good blood circulation in your body and will help you relax from the tension that you may have about your exam.The food that you consume matters a lot while studying. Avoid junk food.

Exercise 

Make a habit of getting up early in the morning and exercise. This will help in two ways. This helps to be very healthy as well as avoid all your tensions about the exam and bring more concentration for studying.

Do not study just for the shake of scoring Good Marks

Understand the intent of the subject. Do not just study for the shaking of scoring good marks in your exams but to understand a lot about the topic that you are studying. Remember the objective of the education system is not just scoring good marks in the examination but to understand why you are learning the subject. Most of the students tend to ignore this fact as I have seen. A person who scores good marks in the exam does not mean that he/she has studied well. Not at all until he/she has studied the subject to understand the subject that can help in their day to day lives and acts as basis for further studies.

Build Good Relationships with your teachers

This helps a lot. I remember my teacher calling me to his house and explaining me what I'm lacking in the subject and what I need to improve. Talk to your teachers very often, ask questions a lot to them. Surely the teachers are happy to answer your questions and plus provide some guidelines for you as to how to understand the subject better.

Do not burn midnight Oils 

When your exam dates are nearing do not study overnight and destroy your health. Do not ever do that. You have studied well throughout the academic year and be confident about that.  When your exam dates are nearing, its just that you need to revise on whatever you have studied and not to study from scratch. Be confident on yourselves that you studied enough to make it to your exams.

On the exam day

On your exam days, you must very well be relaxed and not tensed at all. Have good sleep in the previous night. If you have good sleep, you can think better on your exam days and write good answers for the exam questions. Just treat your exam days as your usual days, that's all, no difference. Its likely that your friends will scare by saying several things that they have not done in their academics, do not ever be discouraged by their words. You have to be just you and do well in the exams.

Conclusion

These are my ideas and how actually I prepared for SSLC exams and had a first rank in the school. There are no thumb rules that you need to follow to get good marks. Its all has to be done at your comfort level. Each one will have different thoughts about the same. General advise that I would like to make is that don't be just bookish, study for the shake of scoring marks in exams. But instead, think through the subjects. Understand why the subjects are being tought to us and how we can benefit from studying those subjects. The real intent of studying a subject is to apply somewhere in your lives which we need to understand very well. According to me, don't get discouraged by that fact that you got low marks exams, but be proud that you have learned the subjects well which will really be helpful for your future.
