Along with preparing for your board examination, you must also make sure that you do the following: 

• You have to solve MCQs (Chapterwise + Mock tests) 
• Prepare short key notes for quick revision 
• Note to make these notes short, specifically the topics you face difficulty remembering. 
• Read word to word; skimming will not work. 
• You are required to even focus on the diagrams in your textbooks.
