Why Board Exams Don't Matter Much.

Board Exams have already begun and anxiety and fear among students is settling in even though they are

fully prepared. No student has ever said that they are completely prepared minutes before the exam is

prepared but we all know that even the dumbest kid has prepared everything.

Board Exam is not just another exam in India, it’s a social event in its own. From your parents to your

distant relatives, your neighbors to your parent’s colleagues, everyone is interested in your results.

has completely been transformed into a race and the desire of learning has been taken over by the
competitive feeling of being a topper.
Role of parents in supporting their child during exam fever increases more. They need to make their kid

understand that no matter how much he scores in these exams, it’s not the end of the road for them.
