Mohali, Feb. 19 -- Suman Lata, principal at Vidya Valley Senior Secondary School acknowledges students with stress-free exam tips for board examinations. Exams are important, but they do not define the entire future. They are only a milestone, not the destination, she said. Firstly, the students need to plan studies wisely, make a realistic timetable and follow it sincerely. Do not try to learn everything in one day. Revision is the key to confidence. Second, focus on understanding concepts rather than memorising blindly. Practice previous years' question papers. Writing practice improves speed and accuracy. Thirdly, take care of your health. Sleep for at least 7-8 hours. Eat balanced meals and stay hydrated. A healthy mind performs better. Avoid comparison with friends since every child has unique abilities. Believe in yourself and stay away from negativity and unnecessary social media distractions. Lata emphasises, "If you feel stressed, take short breaks, practice deep breathing, listen to soft music, or talk to your parents and teachers. Sharing reduces pressure. On the exam day, read the question paper carefully. Attempt the paper with calmness and proper time management. Start with questions you are confident about. Remember, hard work with a positive attitude always brings success. We, your teachers and parents, are proud of your efforts. Give your best and leave the rest to God."...
