The 12th HSC Board Examination sets the ground for an individual's career. Thus it becomes a crucial turning point in one's life. Commerce is one of the most opted fields by students after the completion of std 10th.

The very reason is:

  • It's comparatively easy than other faculties including Science and Arts.
  • Students often think it is convenient to study less in front of the other streams like Science and Arts.
  • Peer Pressure - If two or more of your friends are taking up admission in the stream.
  • You want to enjoy your Junior college and not spend time memorizing formulas and theories.

Well, while a few points mentioned above happen to be true, many are fallacies. To begin with, there is not a single stream which doesn't call for hard work. While it's true that the science stream requires a little more hard work, commerce has its own set of difficulties. If you are a commerce student, you will be well aware of the dilemma created by subjects like Book Keeping and mathematics. If aced well they prove to be scoring subjects in the HSC Boards.

Take enough breaks in between

"All study and no play makes Jack a lazy boy"

Your brain needs enough rest. Continuous study and work can lead to a lot of stress piling up thereby making the brain weaker. Hence, it is necessary to take
breaks and rest in between so as to rejuvenate one's senses.

It is not how much you study that counts, but how much you are able to retain that makes the difference. After every 2 hours of study take a break of 30 minutes. Either take a nap or go play some game.

Do not concentrate on multiple topics

Don't ride two horses at a time. Concentrate on one topic at a time. No matter you take two or more days in finishing the topic do not jump to another topic unless you haven't finished one. Solve all the sums, solved examples as well as unsolved ones to get abreast with all the concepts before moving to the next topic.

Take help from experts

When studying there may arrive moments wherein doubts crop up regarding a certain topic or concept. Herein, taking the aid of teachers and experts will prove to be beneficial. If you have any doubts about a certain Mathematics problem note it down and get the doubts cleared by your teachers.
