Preparation Tips for ISC Class 12 Board Exams 

  1. Master the Syllabus: Pay special attention to important and conceptual topics such as Physio and Injuries in Sports, Biomechanics / Kinesiology, and Sports Training.

  2. Draw Properly and Label Them Well: When dealing with questions related to anatomy and biomechanics (e.g., curves of spine, joint actions, structures of respiration), neat diagrams earn you marks.

  3. Be Specific with Terminologies: Instead of writing in general, use terminologies (e.g., isometric/isotonic, macronutrients, microcycle, proprioception) to leave an impression on the examiner.

  4. Solve Past Questions: Practice with the specimen papers from the last few years and past years’ boards’ exams to know how the question paper is set up.

  5. Score High in Your Practical/Viva Voce: Keep yourself up-to-date with your practical file with all the records of your fitness test, rules of sports, and asanas of yoga. Also, revise some basic terminology for your viva voce.

  6. Answer Your Theory Question Clearly: Use subheadings, points, and underlining in your answers for evaluators’ ease.
