Onam & Christmas Exam Revision Plan — Kerala School Term Exams (Class 1 to 9)

Kerala schools hold term exams through the year — the first term (Onam) exam, usually in August, and the second term (Christmas) exam, usually in December. A short, focused revision plan helps children go into these exams calm and prepared.

Two weeks before the exam

Get the exam timetable and portions from school.
List the chapters for each subject and plan which days you will revise them.
Finish any pending homework and notebook work first.

Daily revision

Revise one or two subjects a day in short sessions with breaks.
After reading a chapter, close the book and say or write the main points.
Practise questions from the textbook and from class tests.

Subject tips

Mathematics: practise sums every day, not just before the exam.
Malayalam and English: read lessons aloud, learn new words and practise writing answers.
EVS, Basic Science and Social Science: make small notes and practise diagrams and maps.

The last few days

Revise from notes; do not start new chapters.
Sleep early and keep a normal routine.
Pack the exam bag the night before.

Tips for parents of younger children

Keep revision short and cheerful; praise effort, not only marks.
Sit with your child for a short time daily and ask simple questions from the lesson.
After each exam, talk about what went well instead of only checking mistakes.
