What a Plan or Focus of a Students in Class 11/12 be?
This is an important phase of life. Students have just successfully completed their class 10 board exams and are put in an ocean of knowledge delivered deliberately to use the full capacity of their brain. Students leave the generic subjects and indulge themselves in more specific streams of knowledge.
Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics, Accounts, History, Geography and several other voluminous subjects which are separated into Science, Arts and Commerce streams and students fight for getting their stream of choice.
Often Neglected Focus Points of Class 11/12 Students
Some of the focus points that I have tried to jot down are of immense importance but are often neglected.
Food
Drink plenty of water, eat a lot of vegetables and healthy foods since the nutrients will enhance the retention power of your brain as well keep you away from diseases. Junk food should be avoided at all costs. Since students study late at night and wake up early in the morning, it takes a huge toll on their bodies. So food habits should be as healthy as possible to counter the herculean task.
Sleep
An average human must have 8 hours of sleep so that his/her brain functions properly The subjects in Class 11/12 are so diverse and so specialized that it requires a vast degree of information retention which will not be possible if a person does not get a night of proper sleep.

Entertainment
“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”. So studying all the time will not work unless you play, draw, or do any activity which refreshes your brain. It charges your brain cells and helps to increase the retention power. Talk with people too.
Academic Focus:
Now the most important thing that every student should keep in their focus is to have a proper goal setting and a time limit for each sub-goals to be achieved.
Modularising a problem into smaller sub-problems and solving each one is beneficial from several aspects. Write down five things which distract you & not let you study, ever got a solution without knowing the problem?
Know them and avoid them. Listen to binaural beats and chew a chewing gum while studying as it will help in improving your concentration levels. Remove your mobile phone from your side as it will entice you to check once in a while your Facebook and WhatsApp notifications which creates a bad impact on your study routine.
Prioritize the subjects and identify your strong and weak areas. Work more on your weak areas and revise your strong areas once in a while to have a comprehensive preparation for your board exams.
Lastly, be confident. It will be you who will face the question paper. So your confidence and your calm-headedness will play a pivotal role in your grades.
Don’t see others in the exam hall as it gives a wrong impression both for you and the invigilator. Read the question paper properly as sometimes hints to solve a problem is there in the question itself. And, finally hit your target with full force and achieve it because you deserve it.
