PART III – Project Work

This part includes the assignments, classwork, and different projects given by your teacher. All you need is to score 20 marks in this section to make a good overall percentage.

How to Score Good Marks?

I know, the syllabus is so vast for Business Studies that it will take about 2 hours of daily study to complete the syllabus till the exam. To score good marks, you have to practice hard, give quality time to your studies, and see the miracle.

The difference between an ordinary and an extraordinary student is practice. The more you sweat in practice, the less you will bleed in battle!

Let’s have a look at some ideas to score well in the CBSE 12th Business Studies exam. Tips by experts for those meticulous students who want to score more than 90% marks.

Proper Study

I am repeating myself, Business studies are such a vast subject and actually requires, at least, 2 hours study daily. If possible, make a timetable for yourself. Making a timetable will tie you to a schedule, you just need to follow it strictly.

Self Study

Self-study is very important, apart from school and tuition classes, give time to self-study too. It will help you to analyze your strong and weak points as well. Moreover, you will get to know that how much effort you actually need to put in which chapter.

Call Your Friend

If you are feeling low while studying and need company, then without hesitation call your best friends. Instead of planning for some movie, you both can study together. I know, it looks unreal, but everything is possible if you have control over yourself.

Last-Minute Tips For You

The real achievement belongs to the curious, the ones who are not afraid to put efforts, who are ready to poke and explore.

Revise the Whole Syllabus

The night before the exam day, revise the whole syllabus at least once. But, one thing you should note is that you must revise the notes which you had made in class instead of revising from help books, as the notes of your own will clear your concepts even better.

Time Management During Exam

While giving an exam in the examination hall, try to divide the time for long and short questions individually. And take out time for reading your answer sheet at least once.

Diagrams and Writing

Keep your writing neat, and try to draw diagrams wherever possible. This will create a good impression on the examiner, and you may even get a few extra marks for diagrams and handwriting.

Don’t get confused with words such as describe, list, enumerate, etc. You should answer the question as per the marks assigned and the word limit. So, take care of the marks and manage time.

Final words

It’s a kind of a headache for the students of class 12th to deal with everything at the same time. Like, on one side, there is a farewell function in school, the imagination of miserable life after school, life without friends, boring life. And on the other side, the board exams.

Try to relax, all you need is time management. Give attention to things which are more important, the thing which will benefit you in the future. I will end my write up with the words of Stephen Covey

Every successful person begins with two beliefs, the future can be better than the present
and I have the power to make it so“.

      Focus on time management. Generally students lack in managing their time.
