Apeejay School Pitampura teacher shares smart strategies, last-minute CBSE board exam tips
Scoring high in CBSE board exams requires more than endless reading — it demands a smart CBSE Class 12 board exam strategy. To guide students better, Ms. Neha Malhotra, Business Studies Teacher, Apeejay School, Pitampura, shared expert tips for an effective business studies exam strategy.
Paper format:
1. The question paper will contain 34 questions.
2. Marks will be indicated against each question.
3. Answers should be brief and to the point.
4. Answers to the questions carrying 3 marks may be from 50 to 75 words.
5. Answers to the questions carrying 4 marks may be about 150 words.
6. Answers to the questions carrying 6 marks may be about 200 words.
7. Attempt all parts of the questions together.
Master Case-Based Questions
According to Ms. Malhotra, students often fear case studies, but the trick lies in a structured approach. “Read the passage twice — once for understanding and the second time to identify keywords that relate to a chapter or concept. Then frame answers stepwise: define the concept, explain it and justify with the case,” she advises. This not only builds clarity but also helps in how to attempt CBSE board exam papers effectively.
Focus on High-Weightage Chapters
She suggests revising:
- Planning
- Organising
- Directing & Staffing
- Financial Management
- Financial Markets
- Marketing Management
Presentation Matters!
Making your answer examiner-friendly is key. Ms. Malhotra says, “Use headings, bullet points, underlining of keywords and correct definitions. Where applicable, add diagrams for better impact.”
Avoid common mistakes like long paragraphs, missing definitions or writing irrelevant content — one of the major common mistakes to avoid in CBSE Class 12 exams.
Real-Life Examples = High Marks
“Examples show concept application and add value to long and case-based answers,” she explains. This can help those aiming to score 90+ in CBSE 12th exam in future years as well.
Last-Minute Revision Plan
For last-minute CBSE board exam tips, she recommends:
- Revise NCERT definitions, flowcharts and short notes
- Prioritise high-weightage concepts
- Attempt current-year sample paper + previous papers
Manage Time Smartly
Sharing valuable time-management tips for CBSE board exams, she suggests quick mental outlining before writing long answers. “Start with a definition, then 4–6 keyword-based points with short explanations,” she says — a winning approach even during last minute revision Class 12 stress.
