5 Essential Tips for Exam Day
Reach Early: CBSE has issued a strict advisory to reach the exam centre by 10:00 AM. Doors will close shortly after, and no entry will be allowed once the exam starts.
The 15-Minute Rule: Use the initial 15 minutes of "Reading Time" strategically. Scan the paper, choose which questions to attempt first, and plan your time.
Check Your Stationery: Ensure you have your Admit Card, School ID, and a transparent pouch with blue/black ballpoint pens, pencils, and an eraser.
Section-wise Discipline: For Science and Social Science, ensure you answer questions in their respective sections (Physics/Chemistry/Biology) as instructed to avoid mark deductions.
Stay Hydrated & Calm: Don't skip breakfast. Carry a transparent water bottle and take deep breaths if you feel overwhelmed.
The Class 10 Board Exam is a significant milestone, but remember, it is just the beginning of your journey. With the new "Best of Two" policy, the pressure is lower than ever, allowing you to focus on learning rather than just marks. Trust your preparation, stay positive, and enter the hall with confidence.
LatestLY and the entire nation wish the CBSE Class of 2026 a very successful examination season. Go out there and do your best!
