2. Simulate real exam conditions: Set aside full 3 hours, avoid interruptions, stick to the section sequence.

3. After each paper, analyse results: Which section took longer? Which question-type did you struggle with (MCQ, writing, numerical, case-study)?

4. Focus on improving problem-areas: e.g., Solving numerical problems in Current Electricity, Optics; mastering derivations; refining answer presentation in long-answer sections.

5. Use the large variety of papers to develop speed and accuracy — by the board-exam day you’ll be used to finishing the paper confidently.
