With boards, IGCSE, and term assessments on the horizon, students benefit most from realistic schedules, active revision, and a healthy routine to sustain focus and performance.

Educators across CBSE and Cambridge curricula emphasize mastery of concepts, timed practice, and balanced study routines as keys to academic success.

Key Takeaways (This Week)

Make a 7-day timetable – split syllabus/units into achievable chunks.
Active revision – self-quiz, summarise notes, or explain concepts aloud.
Healthy balance – short breaks, screen-time discipline, and 8 hours of sleep.

“Students at Ekam Ecity are preparing for CBSE Board and Cambridge IGCSE exams in the school library, focusing on active revision and collaborative learning.”

Proven Study Tips That Work

For CBSE Students

Build a realistic timetable (based on CBSE exam pattern).
Prioritise NCERT textbooks (the official CBSE base).
Practise CBSE sample & past papers under timed conditions.
Use Pomodoro sprints (25–40 mins + short breaks).

For Cambridge Students

Understand assessment objectives (command words like evaluate, analyse).
Use Cambridge-endorsed books & past papers.
Practise writing concise, structured answers.

Apply inquiry-based learning (connect lessons to real-world scenarios).

“Whether CBSE or Cambridge, the goal is the same — consistent effort, smart practice, and a balanced routine lead to the best results.”

Managing Stress the Healthy Way

Create a simple study plan and stick to it – structure reduces panic.
Use mindfulness or breathing exercises – even 5 minutes daily helps focus.
Prioritise sleep & nutrition – at least 8 hrs of rest and balanced meals.
Stay connected with teachers & counsellors – both CBSE and Cambridge assessments can be stressful; early guidance prevents overload.
Avoid comparison cycles – remind children that consistent effort matters more than competing with peers.

“At Ekam Ecity, both our CBSE and Cambridge streams combine academic preparation with counselling support and balanced routines — ensuring students succeed without burning out.”
