Having said that, when it comes to writing board exams, it requires a strategic preparation methodology in order to excel in this. With the emphasis on knowledge at an early stage, once you clear the concepts on almost every topic, the best advice is to start solving sample papers. These are extremely important resources, which could easily be found on the internet. ExtraMarks.com is one such website, where students can find exam papers and other useful resources related to ICSE Board exam preparation.
In the early stages of preparation, some students may be skeptical about writing sample papers. Or even if they do, they do not take it sincerely and practice it as an open book test, without taking the permissible time limit into consideration. This is not a good practice, as habits built at an early stage are likely to be repeated during the main exam. However, it may be impossible to write the final exam as open book test, chances are that you may get stuck at the same point, where you’d start referring your book. Or can also face time duration related problems in the exam.
Previous board papers familiarize you with the board’s way of framing questions, and with time you develop an understanding of how to go about it. Good Luck!
