I break down the Maharashtra Board syllabus into manageable steps to help you gain confidence. ## Photos and videos - [Video: The Maharashtra board exams are around the corner, so here are a few tips for the students. I find that memory drawing can be difficult, so I advise my students to practice drawing at least four figures and to plan their time carefully. We do mock tests like this in class to prepare.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/b301b655-6981-4356-9894-b6ed434f7ee8) ## About Mastering Exam Techniques The biggest hurdle for most students in the Maharashtra Elementary and Intermediate exams isn't a lack of talent, it is the clock. In my sessions, we drill the 35-20-35 rule for memory drawing—35 minutes for the initial sketch, 20 minutes to outline, and 35 minutes for adding color. When you have a strict rhythm, the panic disappears, and you finally have the mental space to focus on the small details that actually get you those extra marks. ### Breaking Down the Syllabus Many students approach the board exams with fear, but my goal is to turn that around. Whether you are prepping for the Elementary or Intermediate Grade Exams, we start by demystifying the four papers. We practice object drawing—still life with natural elements like coconuts or vegetables—until your light, shadow, and perspective become second nature. ### The Art of Memory Drawing Memory drawing is often where students lose their way. I teach a formulaic approach to ensure you can render at least four human figures in dynamic action, within the strict time limits of the exam. We don't just guess; we use specific proportions and directional movements to make your figures look natural. I have seen students struggle to balance a scene, so we practice sketching street or festival scenes until the composition feels effortless. ### Mock Tests and Time Management We treat our classroom like the examination hall. We conduct monthly mock tests that mirror the three-hour board conditions. This is the tapassya ka phal for me—seeing a student who was once nervous about finishing on time walk into the exam hall with a clear, calm plan. We also focus on technical precision, including geometry and lettering, ensuring your work stands out for its neatness and accuracy. ## About Shefali Raj I am Shefali.
