How to prepare if the Geography Model Exam was a failure?

Geography is a broad subject; hence it is quite important that we make an assessment of areas which we have covered and know as against those areas where we have not covered. Now it is time to work on those topics or syllabus materials which you didn’t cover in the model exam preparation time. It is better to prepare notes on those areas where you need to cover in more depth. Short notes always help to brush up different areas before the exam.

Next thing you could attempt is to get hold of some previous year’s papers and analyse those areas from the syllabus from which there were more questions. It is important to pay attention to those areas.  Have a leisurely study plan and put a firm time table for covering different weak areas so that you have enough time to study and make notes.

Earth and its properties, climatic conditions, global maps, land coordinates and terrain are some of the toughest areas in Geography where usually one has to make a thorough study. We have to identify those areas and seek help of either teachers or text books to get  us stronger in those areas.

How to prepare if Geography Model Exam was a success?

Though you have succeeded in the model paper, you should not take any chance. If time is there, please have a complete review of all topics, go through the concepts once more and attempt previous question papers with vigor. Practicing the questions with in the allowed time frame will really help to plan for how you should be attempting the questions in such a way that you answer all those which you know for sure first and then go  to the remaining questions. Managing your exam time is critical. Also take good rest, don’t put unwanted pressure on yourself and lose sleep. This can make you tired and feel not fresh while writing the exams. While answering always give weightage to those questions which carry higher marks.
