Now don’t stress CBSE Board exam

The boards are easy conquer and there is nothing to get stressed about. This is the message class 10 students who excelled in the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) exam had for their juniors. The Class 10 results for the Chennai region were announced Sunday. Most of the schools affiliated to the CBSE have recorded 100 per cent results. A considerable number of students have registered maximum cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 10.

The candidates who wish to apply for EIOP can apply in the prescribed form through school before June 21 without late fee. The tentative date of this examination will be July 16. Toppers Speak With a CGPA of 10, R Jayanth from The Oxford Senior Secondary School, said the continuous and comprehensive evaluation (CCE) made it a lot easier. “Before the exams, I would study for as long as I could. We also had pre-board exam in January, which helped a lot,” said Jayanth. Diya Sarah Jacob, who got the perfect 10 CGPA in The Deens Academy, said, “The notion that CBSE board exams are tough is a myth. It is just like any regular exam. The key is to keep practising. I made quick notes that helped me revise before exams.”. For Meghna Murthy from Gear Innovative International School, the exams were a tad nervous at the end. “Well, I knew I would get a CGPA above nine, but 10 is really nice. I attended classes besides school to keep me ahead. To my juniors, I’d say that there won’t be pressure if you study throughout the year,” said Meghna
