- Use NCERT and PSEB textbooks: Both Class 10 and Class 12 exams are largely based on PSEB-prescribed textbooks.
- Revise smart, not hard: Make short notes and revise them every day.
- Practice writing: With objective questions reduced to 25%, descriptive writing matters more this year.

Subject-Wise Strategy
- Mathematics: Focus on NCERT exercises and PSEB exemplar problems. Practice 3-5 problems daily for each chapter.
- Science: Diagrams and chemical equations are scoring. Revise definitions and one-mark questions thoroughly.
- English: Focus on grammar and writing skills. Practice letter writing, essay, and unseen passages.
- Social Science: Map work and dates are easy marks. Maintain a separate chart for events and timelines.
- Punjabi/Hindi: Read prescribed textbook stories and poems carefully. Practice grammar exercises.
