MP and HS Examinations are knocking at your door.
***************************************************************
How you should approach?
It is examination time folks. I know from my experience that most of you are having nervous moments. And almost all of you are burning midnight oil, so to say. Nowadays you, who live in cities and towns, big or small , don't have to burn any oil. You have you have your own arrangement.. Your parents are very particular. They have made alternative arrangements, in case there is a power failure or power cut. They are more worried than you. They just want you to score good marks so that you can enroll yourself to a course of your choice. Of course the preffered choice is science streams. But think of those who live in remote villages or in slums ! They still use kerosene lamps. So they literary burn midnight oil.
As a teacher I can assure you that MP Examination is relatively tougher for you. First of all you are still a child. You are in your early teens. How old are you? 14 plus or 15 plus, not older than that. Some are may be 16 years old. So , you like it or not, you are raw and immature in your thinking. You love to think that your syllabus is is a huge burden on your your young shoulders. You want to feel important. This is a demon created by you and your loving parents. In reality the MP syllabus is very easy and it not at all a burden. You can complete this syllabus in three to four months. Readning this far you are definitely calling me names. You are of the opinion that I have lost my balance of mind and I have gone out of my mind. Call me by whatever name you like. But when you will be promoted to class eleven ,I know, you will understand my point.
So don't worry and don't burn midnight oil. A good night's sleep is very essential at this stage of your life. Don't study for more than six hours a day for the last thiry odd days before your examination. Relax. Listen to music you prefer, watch your favourite TV shows and sports. Take a walk in the evening. Eat good food. Laugh a lot. It will take away your worries and tensions. The demon will get slain.
In my next lesson I am going to tell you what to do in the examination hall. Cheer up, mates.
