Reflections on Class 10 Board Exams with Exceptional Results
My journey through the Class 10 board exams was both exhilarating and challenging, culminating in excellent scores across various subjects. The marks that I achieved were a testament to my hard work and the effective learning methods I employed.
Subject-wise Breakdown
Sanskrit: This was my strongest subject, and I scored the highest among all subjects. This success gave me a sense of pride and accomplishment.
Social Studies: My Social Studies score was one of the highest among all students from my state, reflecting my dedication to the subject and the effectiveness of my study methods.
English: An impressive score of 96/100 confirmed that my in-class learning was sufficient for achieving top grades.
Hindi: Although my weakest subject, I was still satisfied with the 90/100 score. I attributed this to my consistent practice and the clarity provided in class by my teacher.
Mathematics (Standard): My favorite subject, scoring 96/100, validated my strong grasp of the subject and my ability to solve complex problems quickly.
Science: With a score of 95/100, I managed to excel in subjects I liked, particularly physics and chemistry, while identifying and focusing on improving my weaker areas.
Social Science: I scored 92/100, but I felt I could have achieved even more if I hadn't made mistakes in the history section. The overall result was satisfactory.
Computer Appliances (Additional Subject): This subject added a bit more to my overall score, with a 88/100, though I felt I could have performed better.
Personal Journey and Learning Methods
I had always been an average student, scoring just 79 in the 9th class. But I approached my 10th class with a different mindset, motivated by the impending board exams and the desire to prove myself.
Initially, I faced challenges in grasping concepts taught in class due to the teaching style. However, I decided to join tuition classes, which turned out to be a pivotal decision. The teacher I joined was so unique that not only did he make learning fun, but he also improved my performance significantly.
One of the most impactful teachers was JITU BHAIYA. Despite his young age, he was highly respected and admired for his teaching style and approach. His class felt like a counseling session, and he helped me understand concepts by breaking them down into manageable parts. Under his guidance, I started performing better.
The before the board exams, specifically the half-yearly exam, was a testing time. With the announcement of the board exam being conducted as an objective format, I was both excited and nervous. My initial score of 79 from the half-yearly exam was a shock, but JITU BHAIYA helped me find confidence and improved my study strategies.
I began my new journey with a renewed focus and better preparation. My in-class learning, particularly the practice questions (30-35 PYQs) I solved in just 2.5 months, was a significant factor in my success.
Ultimately, my total score of 588/600 translated to a 93.8 overall, a result I never expected but managed to achieve. The journey was not just about the scores but the personal growth and lessons learned.
Conclusion
The experience of the Class 10 board exams was deeply enriching. It taught me the importance of having the right guidance, the right attitude, and the right study methods. The teacher who had made the most impact on my journey has now started his own career, leaving behind a legacy of exceptional teaching. I remain grateful for his guidance and remain motivated to continue excelling in my academic pursuits.
Stay tuned and stay focused, and best of luck to all future students navigating their board exams.
