Hey Chad,
Balancing board exams and entrance exams is like juggling flaming torches while riding a unicycle—but don’t worry, I’ve got you! Hope these steps help out.
1. Prioritize Like a Pro – Board exams need memorization, entrance exams need problem-solving. Divide your study time accordingly. Mornings for one, evenings for the other. Keep ‘em separate, like pineapple and pizza (unless you like that combo, then I won’t judge).
2. Make a Killer Schedule – Not just any schedule, but one that doesn’t make you cry. Short, focused study blocks with breaks in between. Think of it as a gym workout for your brain—lift some physics, sprint through biology, and cool down with a snack.
3. Past Papers Are Gold – Solve past board papers for pattern recognition. For entrance exams, do timed practice tests so you’re ready for battle. You wouldn’t enter a video game boss fight without practicing, right?
4. Smart Notes, Not a Textbook Copy-Paste – Summarize key points, formulas, and mind maps. Stick them everywhere—on your fridge, bathroom mirror, even your dog (if they’re patient).
5. Use Active Recall & Spaced Repetition – Instead of rereading, quiz yourself. Ask, "What did I just learn?" If you say, "Uhh…" start again. Apps like Anki help with spaced repetition.
6. Keep Your Brain Happy – Sleep well, hydrate, and exercise. A well-rested brain remembers better than a caffeine-fueled zombie mode.
7. Don’t Panic, Strategize – If one exam is sooner, shift more focus there temporarily. If both are close, balance like a ninja—shorter, high-impact study sessions.
You got this, Chad! Study smart, not just hard but to understand it. And if stress hits, just picture your future self nailing those exams and flexing with that acceptance letter. Now go conquer and if you need any question reach me out here on careervillage i am a step away-i mean a click away!

Chad, lean into what Dr. H posted prior. That is "money"!
I have nothing to add.

I am pretty sure that the entrance exams in way lighter than the Board Exams.
You should take time to study for both exams. Prepare for it, because this is where you will gain your confidence once your are already in the exams.
Study. Let it sink in. Practice. Repeat.
Avoid comprehending so much information at one time because this will not help. I experienced this before, and the result was unfavorable.
You should always practice what you study so that the retention of the knowledge is longer.
Lastly, do not forget to let loose. Always have an outlet to your stress to lighten the burden.
