Preparation Tips
Master the syllabus via BSEAP textbooks; focus 50% time on the weak areas identified from mock tests.
Practice daily under exam conditions (9:30 AM–12:45 PM timing) with 15-min reading practice.
Revise diagrams, formulas, and maps regularly; solve 5+ past papers weekly for speed.
6-Week Study Plan
Tailored to your routine, with 6-8 hours/day till exams.

AP SSC 2026 exams demand careful execution to avoid losing easy marks, especially with the 15-minute reading time and structured papers. Common pitfalls from past boards include poor planning and presentation issues.
During Exam Mistakes
Skipping the full 15-minute reading time or rushing into tough questions first—start with easy ones to secure marks quickly.
Illegible handwriting, unlabeled diagrams, or messy answers—use black/blue pens, underline headings, and leave margins.
Forgetting the roll number on all pages or not filling the OMR/objective sheets accurately.
Preparation Errors
| Mistake | How to Avoid |
|---|---|
| Ignoring syllabus gaps or overstudying favorites | Align with the timetable; daily mocks for all subjects |
| No timed practice | Simulate 9:30 AM–12:45 PM; analyze errors weekly |
| Neglecting revision | Make short notes for formulas/maps; revise daily |
| Late arrival or wrong items | Reach by 9 AM with hall ticket + Aadhaar/school ID only |
