(2) Solve as many sample papers as you can:
The 2nd topper of CBSE Class 12 board exam 2017, Bhumi Sawant pointed out that she faced a lot of problems while preparing for CBSE Class 12 board exam 2017. But, with the support of parents and help of teachers, things became easy.

You need to track such important concepts from every chapter and go through them as they might be asked again in 2020 board exam.
If students are lucky then they may get the exact same question in 2020 board exam from previous year papers. Therefore, besides sample paper, students should also solve previous years’ papers.
