A well structured 2-month study plan is usually the major factor that separates the students scoring high marks in the CBSE Class 12 Board Exam 2026 from the ones who do not. In case you continue to experience anxiety, insufficient preparation, and a feeling that you lack time, then a correct strategy will still make a total difference in the outcome. These 60 days are not about studying until you drop, but about revising smartly, practising regularly, and taking care of your body and mind. Success is mostly about focused revision of what you have already studied, along with regular practice of exam-oriented questions and enough rest. If these two months are used properly, then they can be a major mark and confidence booster.
Understand the Exam Pattern Before You Begin
It is always good to know the exam pattern in detail before you start your study schedule for the Class 12 board exam. By doing this, you can prioritise topics correctly and also ensure that you do not waste time on the areas which have a low weight.
In most cases, CBSE subjects have an 80 marks theory + 20 marks internal assessment/practical structure. However, the Science subjects like Physics, Chemistry, and Biology generally have a 70 marks theory + 30 marks practical pattern.
Start by:
Checking the entire syllabus of each subject
Looking at the weightage of the chapters to put more emphasis on the high-scoring units
Understanding the types of questions that will be asked, e.g., MCQs, case-based questions, short answers, and long answers
This clarity will make your study plan more focused and efficient, thus you will be able to save valuable time during revision.
Month 1: Complete Syllabus Revision Using NCERT
The first month should be completely devoted to revising the whole syllabus. This stage is a preparatory one for the intensive practice that you will do later. Start with the chapters that have more weightage and require more conceptual clarity.
NCERT textbooks must be your main source of information. Don’t miss any line, because most of the questions in the board exams are direct or indirect from the NCERT.
Week 1- 2: Core Subjects (Science / Mathematics)
Focus major subjects in the initial two weeks.
Physics, Chemistry, Biology: Revise all important formulas, definitions, and reactions. Practice diagrams and ensure their correct labelling.
- Solve all NCERT questions and examples
- Make concise notes for quick revision
Mathematics
- Practice high-weight chapters like Calculus and Algebra
- Solve NCERT exercises thoroughly
- Prepare a formula sheet and revise it daily
Week 3: Commerce / Humanities + English
Once core subjects are revised, shift focus to other subjects.
Commerce
- Practice Accountancy numericals daily
- Revise Economics concepts and graphs
- Focus on accuracy and step-wise solutions
Humanities
- Memorise important dates, events, and case studies
- Focus on conceptual clarity in Political Science and History
English
- Practice reading comprehension passages
- Revise writing formats (letters, articles, reports)
- Re-read prose and poetry chapters for key themes and answers
Week 4: Weak Areas and Short Notes
The fourth week is crucial for strengthening weak areas.
- Identify topics you find difficult
- Revise them again using NCERT and notes
- Create short notes for formulas, definitions, and keywords
- Focus on improving clarity rather than learning new content
Month 2: Testing, Presentation, and Final Revision
The second month is all about practice and polishing your exam performance.
Week 5–6: Sample Papers and Mock Tests
- Solve one full-length sample paper daily within 3 hours
- Analyze your mistakes carefully
- Revise concepts where errors occur
- Practice previous years’ question papers to understand patterns
This phase helps improve speed, accuracy, and time management.
Week 7: Focus on Answer Writing and Presentation
Good content alone is not enough – presentation matters.
- Practice writing neat, well-structured answers
- Use headings, bullet points, and step-wise solutions
- Draw clean, labelled diagrams wherever required
- Stick to word limits and avoid unnecessary writing
Week 8: Light Revision and Mental Preparation
The final week should be calm and stress-free.
- Revise only short notes and formula sheets
- Do not start new topics
- Sleep well and stay relaxed
New Habits to Improve Results
Incorporate these habits into your daily routine for better performance:
- Daily targets: Cover at least one topic with practice per subject
- Pomodoro technique: Study for 50 minutes, take a 10-minute break
- Flashcards: Use them for formulas, definitions, and quick recall
- 3R Rule: Revise, Rewrite, and Review topics every week
Sample Daily Study Routine
Morning: Study the toughest subject when your mind is fresh
Afternoon: Revise theory-based subjects
Evening: Practice questions and revise notes
Night: Light revision of formulas, vocabulary, or English content
Health and Mindset Matter
- A healthy body supports a focused mind.
- Sleep for 7–8 hours daily
- Eat balanced, nutritious meals
- Do light exercise or stretching
- Stay positive and talk to someone if you feel stressed
