Study Skills and Learning Styles

School plays a crucial role in shaping students’ academic success and future careers. As the subjects become more advanced and challenging, students need effective study skills and an understanding of their learning styles to perform well and manage their responsibilities confidently. One of the most important study skills is time management. Students at BHSM School are encouraged to follow planned timetables to balance classes, homework, projects, and co-curricular activities. Proper planning reduces stress and helps complete tasks on time.

Exam Euphoria - Dealing with Stress

“You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.” — Martin Luther King Jr. This insight is especially true during the examination season, when pressure seems to seep into every moment. Books pile up, expectations rise, and even familiar subjects can begin to feel overwhelming. Stress, much like time, starts to feel like an invisible force constantly chasing students forward. During exams, stress has a way of distorting perspective. Small doubts grow louder, and unfinished portions feel heavier than completed ones.

Exam Euphoria - Time Management

“Better three hours too soon than a minute too late.” — William Shakespeare. In this quote from The Merry Wives of Windsor, Shakespeare alluded to the benefits of doing something earlier rather than missing an opportunity. Time behaves strangely during the examination season. Days rush past, yet every hour seems heavy with expectation. There is always something more to revise, one more chapter to glance through, and suddenly, time feels like it is slipping through one’s fingers. Yet, amid this rush, some students appear calm, unhurried, and quietly prepared.

Exam Euphoria - Learning Styles

Learning Styles

Exam Euphoria is that awesome feeling when one flips over the question paper, looks at the first few problems, and realises - he/she actually knows it! It is when your brain feels like a high-speed engine, clicking everything into place. The secret to reaching this state is not spending countless hours staring at a textbook—it is figuring out your personal learning style. Birla High School, Mukundapur focuses on 21st-century learning strategies.

Exam Euphoria - Internal Assessments

Internal Assessment

The word "exam" triggers a cold sweat in many students. After a stressful period of heavy backpacks and frantic memorisation, some students are unable to think clearly just before the examination starts, and eventually, they are unable to write anything. This is nothing but ‘Exam Fever’. However, those who have tried to sprint 100 meters without stretching know exactly what happens - muscles cramp, breath hitches and often one is not able to hit their top speed.
