1-Reverse Learning Technique

• Instead of starting with textbooks, begin by solving previous year question papers (PYQs) and sample papers.
• Mark the chapters where you made mistakes or felt confused, then go back and study only those parts.
• This helps you save time and target your weak areas directly instead of wasting time on already strong topics.

2-Dry Run Coding Practice

• In the exam, you cannot use a computer, so practice writing code on paper.
• Predict outputs, trace logic step by step, and check if your answer matches the expected result.
• This improves accuracy and reduces silly mistakes in syntax or logic.

3-SQL Query Game

• Make learning SQL fun by turning it into a quick quiz.
• Randomly generate queries from a dataset, for example: “Find all students who scored above 90 in Physics”.
• Challenge yourself to solve each query in under 2 minutes.
• This will sharpen your query-writing speed and confidence.

4-Mind Maps for Networks

• Networking has many concepts like IP addresses, devices, protocols, and topologies.
• Prepare mind maps and flowcharts to link these together.
• Visual diagrams make revision faster and easier than reading long notes.

5-Error Collection Notebook

• While practicing coding, keep a small notebook where you record every mistake (wrong logic, syntax error, missing step).
• Revise this notebook before the exam—it acts like a personal error guide.
• This prevents you from repeating the same mistakes in the board exam.

6-Simulated Exam Conditions

• Take at least 2–3 full-length mock tests in a strict 3-hour exam setting.
• Avoid distractions, use only pen and paper, and time yourself exactly like the board exam.
• This builds confidence, improves speed, and helps you handle exam pressure effectively.
