The study of psychology helps students get an insight into their own emotions, mental processes, behaviour and its underlying causes, thus aiding them in understanding and adjusting to the environment around them. It makes them more inquisitive and aware.
The syllabus and content of psychology designed by Maharashtra state board is worth appreciating. The theoretical and real-life applications of each topic can positively change the destiny of students.
To score well in the exam, keep yourself calm and composed. Prepare the exercise given at the back of each chapter very thoroughly. Learn the definitions of the important terminologies and concepts to produce your answer in a precise way.
To attempt the long answers, always define the concept first and then explain further.
Since all the chapters carry nearly equal weightage of marks, just go through all the topics and their sub-points. It will help you in explaining it in your own words.
My heartfelt prayers and best wishes to all the students appearing for the exam. Put in your hundred percent and come out with flying colours.
