Due to icse board exams our half yearly exams had been preponed and it was announced that the syllabus will be reduced.Very less is reduced which almost makes no difference looking at the lack of time we students have. In school the teachers are not explaining the topics properly and finishing up the chapters, making it harder for us to study. Overall we have a lot of work assigned leaving no time for us to study at home as well. If the students perform badly in the exam i hope the school takes responsibility for it and not the students as we already have a lot of work to do in this short period of time including studying topics that need to be understood properly which the teachers are not doing.
