One of the toughest and most confusing decisions a student has to make is to choose the stream. It is easy for some as they know they want to do engineering, law, etc., The student needs to understand their interest. 

If you like Maths or Science you can go for Science Stream. If the student has an interest in business then Commerce is a good choice. If you are interested in the creative then Humanities is a good option. 

Students also need to review their performance in the internal exams. You need to maintain a balance between what you like and what your performance is. 

A good choice of a stream is a balance between what you like and what you are good at.

In the technology-driven age that we live in there is no dearth of career options. In fact, there are so many options it becomes confusing. 

Understand your passion. Understand your strengths. Understand your like and dislikes. 

If you are good with people and love to interact with people, you can go for Sales or Marketing. 

If you are fascinated by technology or machines then Engineering is a good choice for you. 

Fashion is a great career for people who love clothes and have a strong creative side. 

Medicine is the way to go for students who want to help people around them with their health problems. 

The list of options is big and it is not possible to list all of them. A career counselor can help you in making the right choice for you.

As unpleasant as taking a test can often be, it actually does more than just show your teacher what you know: it can actually help you learn.

1. Be informed

Don’t walk into your test unprepared for what you will face. Before you start studying, find out the textbook chapters and topics the test will cover.

2. Think like your teacher

Your homework, assignments, quizzes, handouts, daily notes , and classwork are all indicators of what your teacher thinks is important about the subject and what might appear on the test.

3. Practice

Do plenty of practice problems similar to ones that you KNOW will appear. Make a list of questions that you think might show up on the test (and then make sure you can answer them!).

4. Study Regularly

If you have a test in a week, studying a little each day will help you identify tough concepts or weak areas in your knowledge in advance.

5. Take Breaks

Taking a break every 60 minutes or so will also help you stay focused.

6. Divide big concepts into smaller chunks

When studying a big topic try breaking the material you need to study into chunks. Study one chapter section at a time—and then quiz yourself. Ask yourself questions about what you’ve just studied, and even write your answers down.

7. Don’t neglect the “easy” stuff

Even if you’ve been acing a certain subject or concept all year and think the test will be a breeze, you should still give it a review before the big day. You don’t want to lose marks for careless errors or forget to memorize a key formula.

8. Don’t skip school

Missing classes automatically puts you at a disadvantage. Make sure you go to class (especially during the week leading up to the test) and attend any review sessions your teacher holds

9. Review before the the test

Before you take the test, give yourself time for a quick review.
