<p>As the Secondary School Leaving Certificate (SSLC) exams are all set to begin on April 2, students are busy with last minute preparations. <br /><br /></p>.<p>A series of second PUC question paper leaks has put a lot of pressure on students as well as teachers. But Karnataka Secondary Education Examination Board has ensured that there won’t be a fiasco like this again.<br /><br />Do the reports of question paper leakage affect the studies of SSLC students? “Not at all. I am all set to face the exam and am hopeful that nothing of that sort will happen.<br /><br /> Even if that happens, I will be happy to write the exams the second time so that I can correct my mistakes and score well,” opines Nischal A Bharadwaj, a student of DAV Public School. He says that he started “studying seriously” only a few days back.<br /><br /> “I have been studying 10 to 12 hours a day. I have started revising and am referring to old question papers. Science is a difficult subject for me. Hence, I have downloaded more information from the internet,” he says. <br /><br />Many feel that preparatory exams conducted at their school have increased their confidence level. Lohit K Kumar, a student of Sharada Vidya Niketan, has attended six preparatory exams. “I started my preparations two to three months back.<br /><br /> I have written six preparatory exams which helped me review my performance. Now I am aware of my strong and weak points. I study more than ten hours per day and start studying a different subject if I’m bored,” he informs.<br /> <br />Most of the students are all praises for their teachers who trained them for the ‘big’ exam. <br /><br />“My teachers taught each topic effectively and shared their contact numbers as well. If I have any doubt, I get it cleared over the phone,” says Renganath R, another student. He has chalked out a time table in such a way that he doesn’t get bored. “I read a core subject and a language alternatively to break the monotony and make studies interesting. Even listening to music helps me keep a peace of mind,” he adds. <br /><br />Madhusudhan A Kallur, another student, prefers combined studies. “I study along with two or three friends so that we can discuss the subject in depth. We solve old question papers and clear our doubts. We spend the whole day studying one subject so that we can concentrate more on it. We are all set to write the exams with confidence and score well,” he sums up.<br /></p>
