How to prepare for CBSE Class 8 examinations?

 

Some students learn faster and score higher in exams than others. AskIITians tutors have been among these high-performance students and recommend Class 8 students to master the following smart learning strategies to learn more and earn more marks in exams:

• Whole-brain learning: We know that our brain has two hemispheres. The left brain processes the language, logic and mathematics and the right processes imagination, pictures and music. Using pictures, diagrams, and animations can help you target the right side of the brain to learn dull facts or data more easily. Watching a series on Space Science or a documentary on a historical event can help you learn about the topic than the books and grasp concepts more easily.
• Mind mapping: At askIITians, we consistently use mind maps to improve comprehension in students and foster their creativity. Making mind maps encourage you to visualize the concepts mentally and help you discover 'association' between two ideas and concepts. We teach you how to make engaging and interactive mind maps easily online. We also offer you several readymade mind map examples for Class 8 students.
• Speed reading: On average, a Class 8 student reads 151 words per minute. Having a high reading speed and comprehension can have a lot of influence on how much you learn in a given period of time. Our geniuses share that they usually skim through pages, which means that while reading a page, they look for keywords and form a mental picture of what is going on. There are many speed-reading courses available online these days. Practising speed reading for 15 minutes a day can help you a lot in your academic pursuits later.

To learn more about the study skills and how to master them, consult our student advisor.
