Class 10 board exam study plan

A calm month-by-month plan from the start of Class 10 to the board exams.

IN SHORT

Finish the syllabus with your class by October, revise it once fully by December, practise full sample papers in exam conditions from January, and spend the last weeks on weak topics and your own notes. Two to three focused hours a day after school, kept up all year, beat late nights in February.
