Maths board exams can feel very big and scary, especially when only a few days are left. Many students feel worried, tired, or confused. Some are scared of making silly mistakes. This feeling is normal. Every student feels this way before exams. You are not alone, and you are not weak.
The good news is that the last 10 days are very important. These days can help you improve a lot if you use them wisely. You do not need to study all day. You just need a simple plan, a short study time, and daily practice. When your mind is calm, maths becomes easier to understand.
At Mentrovert, we know that students need help with studies and also with their feelings. Stress and fear can make learning hard. With the right support, students feel stronger and more confident.
This guide provides you with a simple step-by-step 10-day programme. It enables you to revise intelligently, practise excellently, and be calm. Take this course of action and believe in yourself. Believe in your hard work. By the time you enter the exam hall, you will be ready, cool, and powerful to give your best.
The first two days are for planning and light revision. Do not rush. Do not try to study everything at once. A good plan helps your mind feel calm and ready. Start by writing the names of all maths chapters. Now make two lists. One list is for chapters you know well. The second list is for chapters that feel hard. This helps you know where to give more time.
At Mentrovert, counsellors say small study parts work best. Studying a little every time helps the brain remember better than long, tired hours.
You should focus on:
Make a small formula sheet. Read it in the morning and in the evening. This aids in memorising formulas. Be seated at a clean table with ample light. Prepare water and light snacks. Your body needs to feel good to have your mind working better.
Avoid phones and TV during study. Short distractions disrupt concentration. A serene environment, limited time, and a proper schedule will enable you to begin on a high note and be confident on the following days.
You can also follow an effective study plan for Class 12 to structure your last-minute revision better.
On Day 3 and Day 4, it is time to work on chapters that feel hard. You already know which topics trouble you. Do not feel scared. Hard chapters become easy when you go step by step. Sit calmly and solve example questions slowly. Read each step and try to understand why it is done. At Mentrovert, students are guided to understand the method, not just remember answers. When you understand, fear goes away.
Ask yourself while studying:
Now correct those mistakes. Practise a few sums daily from weak chapters. Also, solve previous year's board questions. These questions show what examiners like to ask again and again.
Use small diagrams, tables, or rough drawings. Seeing the problem helps the brain understand better. Do not ignore easy topics from these chapters. Easy questions can give quick marks.
Keep your formula sheet nearby and revise it often. Slow practice, clear thinking, and daily effort will make weak chapters feel stronger and easier.
Day 5 is about how you write your answers in the exam. Maths is not only about getting the final answer. Marks are also given for steps, formulas, and neat work. When your work looks clean, the examiner can understand it easily. At Mentrovert, counsellors tell students to practise writing full answers on paper, just like in the board exam.
While practising, remember to:
Set a timer and solve a few sums daily. This helps you learn time control. After solving, check your answers. Find where you made mistakes and correct them. Even if your final answer is wrong, correct steps can still give you marks.
Do not copy answers from the book without thinking. Try to understand each step and why it is used. When you practise answer writing every day, long questions feel easier. Your hand moves faster, your mind stays calm, and your confidence grows for the exam day.
Day 6 and Day 7 are for practice tests. Mock tests are like a real exam but done at home. They help you understand how ready you are. At Mentrovert, students are guided to take short mock tests so they do not feel scared on the real exam day. Set a timer and sit properly at a table. Solve questions one by one, without rushing.
While giving a mock test:
After finishing the test, check your answers slowly. Look at where you made mistakes. Notice which sums took more time. This helps you learn time control. Do not feel sad about wrong answers. Mistakes help you learn what to fix.
Mock tests make your mind stronger. They reduce fear and build confidence. Each test teaches you something new. With practice, your speed improves and your thinking becomes clear. These two days help you feel ready and brave for the maths board exam.
Day 8 is for fast and light revision. Do not open big books now. This day is about short notes. Make one small sheet with formulas, rules, and tricks. Mentrovert counsellors say short notes are easy to remember and reduce stress.
Focus on:
Read these notes many times during the day. A few minutes of revision again and again works better than long study hours. Do not learn anything new today. Just revise what you already know.
Eat healthy food and drink enough water. Sleep on time. A fresh mind remembers better than a tired one. When you feel calm, maths feels easier. Day 8 helps lock important points in your memory.
Day 9 is a gentle day. Do not push yourself hard. Just revise short notes, formulas, and a few easy sums. Mentrovert reminds students that mental health is very important before exams. Too much stress can make you forget simple things.
On this day:
If you feel worried, talk to your parents, teacher, or mentor. Sharing feelings makes the heart lighter. Believe in your hard work. You have prepared well.
Stay positive and calm. A peaceful mind helps you remember steps and formulas easily. Day 9 is about trusting yourself and staying relaxed.

Day 10 is the exam day or one day before the exam. This day is for calm thinking, not heavy study. Just look at short notes and formulas once or twice. Do not try new questions. Mentrovert counsellors say confidence is more important than last-minute stress.
Before leaving:
In the exam hall, read each question carefully. Start with questions you know well. This builds confidence. Write steps neatly and clearly. If time is left, check your answers.
Stay positive till the end. You followed a smart 10-day plan. Trust your practice, stay calm, and do your best.
