Anyway, even if the panic is for the former reason, I still don't see any reason for panic. After all, its just a result. Agreed its the TENTH STANDARD RESULTS. So?????
What can happen worst of all?? Of course, you are never going to fail the board exams. Believe me, its a lot tougher to fail in the board exams than to top them. So, worse things worse, you get say 70%. So what? You will go to a not-so-good or not-so-popular college. Well, if you are worried about not getting to 'hang around' in the 'cool' places because of your low percentage, then I cannot help you. However, if you are seriously worried about your bad result, and you are worried because it might harm your future prospects, then you can stop. Because, you tenth standard percentage just won't matter. Just accept, 'Mistake made' and rectify it. Your not getting good percentage in tenth board exams won't have a bearing in which college you graduate from or which company you get an appointment letter from. When you go to apply for a job, what will apply will be the college or university you GRADUATED from. Not your junior college. So even if you get low percentage in tenth standard exams, you can make it up by scoring well in twelfth standard exams.
Its not the end of the world.
However, if you are worried about you results with the fear that you won't get to 'hang around' in the 'cool' places then as I said, I can't help you. Nobody can. You can consider yourself to be seriously irresponsible, or filthily rich, who is going to spend his life just SPENDING the money that his/her dad earned. If you are just irresponsible, then you are in serious trouble.
So advice to you guys, just chill. There is no need to worry about the results because it won't have a bearing on your career.
That's perfectly right. It seriously is not as big a deal as it is made out to be. It only seems to be because of the hype created by everyone concerned - parents, family, teachers, classes, the media and basically every person a student knows.
ReplyDeleteIn reality, the X std report card doesn't hold much weight at all in the long run. All it ensures, is a seat in a good college, like you've rightly pointed out. After that, it's how you perform in college, that really matters.It's just been a trend to attach so much importance to the SSC exams. That's probably only becoz it's the first board exam a students gives in his life.
I only wish, people would stop making such a big deal of it. I agree with you, it's after all only JUST AN EXAM. One of many that you will have to go through in your journey as a student. So, JUST CHILL!!! You have to do well in it, but if you don't do as well as you'd hoped, it doesn't matter either. There will always be another exam where you can make up for it.
yeh well ..... the problem is shaish that we arent afraid that we'll gt low marks .....( frankly i am expecting above 80% ) the thing is that our decisions are based on the result.....like me ..... I ( according to the aptitude test) fit in science and arts stream ..... if my percent is high enough .... i wud lyk to do arts in xaviers ...... or maybe even science in either one .... and such colleges have a good reputation ..... once in and you are halfway there ...... so the tension is not abt getting a bad college .... the tension is abt missing a chance to get into a great college and setting the foundation beforehand......
