The last three months before the Class 10 or Class 12 board exams decide a lot. Children do best with a calm, simple plan and a parent who checks in without adding pressure. Here is a plan you can adapt with your child.

Before you start: one conversation

Sit down with your child and the exam timetable. Agree on a daily study window, a weekly day off, and how much phone time is fair. A plan your child helped make is a plan they will follow.

Days 1 to 30: finish the syllabus

  • List every chapter in every subject and mark each one strong, okay or weak.
  • Spend most of the time on weak chapters while there is still time to learn them properly.
  • Keep one notebook per subject for formulas, definitions, dates and diagrams.
  • Read the official sample papers for each subject so the exam pattern is familiar.

Days 31 to 60: practise and revise

  • Solve at least one previous year's paper per subject each week, timed.
  • After each paper, list the mistakes and revise those topics the next day.
  • Revise strong chapters briefly so they stay strong.
  • Practise writing answers in the expected length and format; presentation earns marks.

Days 61 to 90: exam mode

  • Write full papers in exam conditions: the same start time, three hours, no phone.
  • Revise from the formula and definition notebooks rather than the textbook.
  • Sleep at least seven hours. Late-night cramming lowers marks.
  • In the last week, revise only. Do not start a new topic.

How parents can help

  • Check in once a day on what was done, not on marks.
  • Keep the home calm during study hours and the weeks of the exams.
  • Watch for signs of stress, such as poor sleep or skipped meals, and talk about them early.
  • Praise effort and steady progress.
