A 95% score in CBSE boards is no longer rare — but it's also not luck. Three habits separate scorers from the rest.

1. NCERT Is the Bible

80% of board questions come straight from NCERT. Reference books are useful, but only after NCERT is fully digested.

• Read each chapter 3 times — first to understand, second to highlight, third to test yourself.
• Solve every NCERT exercise twice.
• Know every diagram, every formula, every example by heart.

2. Daily Active Recall, Not Re-reading

• Close the book. Write the chapter from memory.
• Self-test daily, not just before exams.
• Use flashcards for formulas and definitions.

3. Mock Tests, Then Error Analysis

Most students take mocks but never analyse them. Mistake analysis is where the score actually grows.

• After every mock, list every wrong answer + why.
• Group mistakes: silly, conceptual, time-pressure.
• Fix the biggest category first — 70% of student lost marks come from 'silly mistakes' that are pattern-based.
