Board and Entrance - Does study really differ?

Well, its already half of August now. Already dilemma has started growing among aspirants what to practice more, theory or MCQ. Are you also in that deep thought? Then read on.

This is a very common dilemma students get stuck in. But wait! Why are you so worried? Where is the actual dilemma? In fact, there is no real cause for any dilemma at all. Its information and knowledge that would help you do well in every exam, be it the boards or competitive exams. Yes its true that for competitive exams, a lot of practice means a lot of help in the exam hall. But just practicing MCQ without thoroughly understanding the concepts of the subjects and topic will ultimately do no good. And for the boards? If you can combine much more information from your competition level studies with that of the text books, its always better. Also, if you can solve out problems just because you have practiced so much of them, it always gives an extra confidence. At the end of the day, its knowledge and understanding of the subjects that pays off. So, my opinion is that, do practice questions of all sorts and study thoroughly.
