Experiencing Uncertainty: The Realizations After CBSE Class 10 Board Exams 2022
CBSE Class 10 board exams are a significant chapter in a student’s life. The anticipation, preparation, and the aftermath all add up to a memorable experience. This article explores the uncertainties and realizations shared by a student who took these exams in 2022.
The Lead-Up to the Exam
My last board exam was on March 11th, and to get a change of environment, I went to my aunt’s house in Delhi. It was a time focused on enjoyment with family and the celebration of Holi. I remained stress-free about my scores and did not check the answer keys after the exam, believing that checking could negatively impact my confidence.
A few days before the result was to be announced, my cousin, who shares the same eagerness and curiosity as most students, asked me how many marks I thought I had secured. His question made me realize that despite my initial resolve, the outcome of the exams was starting to weigh on my mind.
The Confusion Surrounding Result Day
March 3rd was a significant day. At first, everyone believed that the results would be announced that day since the CBSE website was down. However, the official announcement came later, stating that the results would be declared after 21st March. This led to a period of uncertainty and anticipation.
The Day of Results
On 13th March, an unexpected twist occurred: my friend Divyansh received some gifts from his mother, which foreshadowed great results. As I joined my class for Hindi period, there were rumors about the 12th board results and my friend Gaurav’s outstanding performance. This added a layer of uncertainty and excitement. We couldn’t even enjoy our lunch, as our nerves were on edge.
The Moment of Truth
It was during a physics class that a friend’s heart monitor showed a high heartbeat, indicating increasing anxiety. Just as class ended, a rumor spread that the 10th board results were finally available. My friend Piyush’s result, in particular, was highly anticipated. Teacher Jeewan congratulated him, and when he expressed nervousness, the teacher reassured him that he had passed.
Confronting the Results
With great tension, we all waited for the results. During the last class, when asked about results, I and my friends Divyansh, Kamal, Ayush, Piyush, and Jatin were determined not to see them. Instead, we chose to pray and check results at home. Jatin’s unexpected announcement that he had scored 96.2 brought a surge of relief, and we continued our prayer session with greater fervor.
The Unspecified Marks
After the prayers, Jatin braved the tension and asked the teacher for his result. Upon receiving a grade of 475, and feeling relieved, the group was seen comforting each other. Ayush was the standout in 9th class, topping with 98, a fact that brought more excitement. However, the surprises kept coming, as Piyush scored 97.4. It was a day filled with unexpected turns and mixed emotions.
Lessons Learned
This experience highlighted the uncertainties of the exam preparation and result day. It made me realize the importance of staying calm and not being too anxious about the outcome. Tips for preparing for such exams could include regular revision, stress management techniques, and maintaining a positive mindset.
