Have your parents and teachers been drilling your head about referring to the previous question papers while preparing for the exams? Well, if you have been frowning at such advice, it is better that you do pay heed to them. Going through and solving exam papers is not only about speeding up your writing pace and learning your chapters. They can be a great aid to understand the question pattern in the exam, thus giving you an idea about what to expect prior to going to the examination hall. This holds true for the Board exams as well, which is obviously one of the most critical milestones of your life. Whether you are appearing for your 7th, 8th, 9th examinations or preparing for the Boards of Class 10th or 12th, studying by referring to the exam papers of previous years is the best way to embark on your preparation schedule. All Board examinations possess a specific pattern, which is followed every year. This pattern depicts the way questions appear in the examinations, the various sections found and the number and type of questions that they entail, the marks allotted to the different sections and questions and their sequential order. By referring to the previous question papers, you can more or less make decisions as to which section you will answer in what order. For instance, the shorter, objective type questions generally occupy the first part of the question paper, gradually proceeding to the longer ones and finally culminating into the ones, which carry the highest marks. If you are comfortable answering the shorter ones or a particular section of the paper you can prepare yourself at home accordingly by also looking at the time that you are taking to answer them. The exam pattern will also provide you with a glimpse into which chapters and topics need more attention, which are the ones that are more important for shorter questions and the ones that are likely to come as long answers. Oftentimes, going through the exam papers might just help you mark out certain questions which are important and which have the possibility of coming in the current year. Understanding the exam pattern is necessary in order to proceed in a systematic way while preparing yourself for the exams. And this is best done by going through the previous question papers which help you study by keeping the important questions of each chapter in mind. Solving these papers will also help you in your last minute preparations when there is a time constraint for in depth preparation of all chapters. You can also solve and study the model question papers, which are prepared in tune with the exact pattern of the exams and are solved by expert teachers giving you an insight into the important questions in each part and the length and content of answers required. Such systematic study by taking into consideration the important questions in the previous years’ papers is sure to go a long way to help you secure good marks in the exam.
