CBSE Class 10 result: Anxious students?

Students are anxious about their CBSE Class 10 results this year, owing to a number of reasons. The first one being the fact that CBSE Class 10 board exams were made mandatory after 7 years, during which the CCE format of examinations was used. The second reason why students may be concerned about their results can be the huge commotion that happened around the alleged leak of the Class 10 Maths paper. The Board had initially announced that students of Class 10 may have to appear for a re-exam of Maths. However, this decision on the Board’s part was later done away with.

Things to know before you check your CBSE Class 10 Board result

Here are some things you should keep in mind before the day arrives when you log on to check your Class 10 result:

  1. Remain cool. You have already played your part in the exam process by studying hard and appearing for these really stressful exams. Practically put, there is no use in increasing your levels of anxiety right before you check your result
  2. These results are not the ultimate test of your life. Regardless of how you performed, keep in mind that these exams are just one of the many milestones that you will cross in your academic life. Do not place undue importance on your scores, and buck up for the challenges to come.
  3. Do not compare yourself with others. We often tend to judge our worth on the basis of how others are doing in their life.
