Here are six proven study hacks that can make a real difference in your preparation.
Study for 25 minutes
Take a 5-minute break
Repeat this cycle four times, then take a longer break
This method boosts focus and prevents burnout, helping you learn more in less time.
Health 1. Use the Pomodoro Technique for Focused Studying
Handwritten notes are one of the most effective memory tools. When you write concepts in your own words, your brain processes and stores information better.
Use diagrams, keywords, arrows, and summary tables to simplify lengthy chapters.
Health 2. Don’t Just Rely on Textbooks
Understand question patterns
Improve speed and accuracy
Identify your weak areas early
Try solving at least one paper every week during exam season.
Health 3. Practise Previous Years’ CBSE Papers Regularly
Teaching a concept to a friend, sibling, or even to yourself (out loud) helps reinforce what you have learned.
If you can explain a topic simply, it means you truly understand it.
Health 4. Teach Someone Else to Strengthen Your Concepts
Mind maps help you visualise entire chapters in a single page.
Create mind maps during revision to connect facts, dates, definitions, and diagrams in an organised way.
Health 5. Use Smart Revision Techniques
Daily revision
Dedicated time for difficult subjects
Breaks and relaxation
Weekend practice tests
Health 6. Plan a Weekly Study Schedule
Good sleep, a balanced diet, and staying hydrated play an important role in how well you study. A fresh mind learns faster — so don’t compromise your health while preparing.
