How to prepare for Class 12 boards

  1. Finish the syllabus chapter by chapter

    Open a subject, then practise its questions one chapter at a time while the topic is fresh.

  2. Sit full papers under exam conditions

    Once a subject is done, write a recent paper in 3 hours and mark it against the solutions.

  3. Close the gaps

    Go back to the chapters where you lost marks and try a short practice test on just those: in the test builder, pick the subject, then choose those chapters under Chapters.
