**New Delhi, [Date]** – With CBSE board exams fast approaching, students and parents are urged to follow key strategies to manage stress and optimize exam preparation. The CBSE board has released advice emphasizing a supportive environment and proactive study habits.

**For Parents:** Parents play a crucial role in fostering a positive learning atmosphere. Instead of pressuring students, parents should provide encouragement and understanding. This includes helping students create a study timetable, maintaining their confidence even when grades dip, and offering praise focused on effort rather than solely on results (“Well done, you can do better,” is preferred over “That wasn’t enough”). A lighthearted approach and open communication about challenges are also vital. Parents should actively listen to their children’s concerns and help them find solutions.

**For Students:** Students are advised to understand their individual concentration spans and study in manageable intervals, identifying their peak concentration times. Group study sessions for challenging subjects are encouraged. Past exam performance should be viewed as an opportunity for improvement, focusing on identifying and addressing weak areas. A well-structured timetable incorporating both study and relaxation activities (exercise, TV, etc.) is essential. Regular revision and repetition of learned material are key to ensuring knowledge retention.
