Subject-wise tips

Physics

• Get a grip on the fundamental concepts of the subject.

• Use the formulae and theorems extensively in solving various problems from last years’ papers and model papers.

Chemistry

• The good news is this is a high-scoring subject, and also requires lesser time for preparation.
• Speed and accuracy in solving different problems can be acquired through in-depth study of the subject and extensive practice.
• Study the name reactions; make charts of formulae along with names and revise them as and when possible.

Biology

• As the subject includes lots of diagrams, give special attention to important diagrams and their theory. Make sure you remember the important terms and their respective functions.
• Biology involves learning and memorising difficult terminology. Write such terms repeatedly so as to get acquainted with them.
• Get thorough with the important definitions as the subject is mostly theory.

Mathematics

• Mathematics is a high-scoring subject once you are clear with the concepts. Do not fear it; instead, start practicing. You will see that you will slowly develop interest.

• Beware of the silly mistakes that you often make.
• Jot down important formulae and tables that you need to memorise. Keep them handy so that you can glance at them whenever you want.
• Practice common square root and cube root problems so that you can quickly solve the questions during the exam.

History

• Study, revise and answer questions from time to time.

Geography

• Problems on latitude and longitude, among others, are quite high-scoring. Practice extensively to master them.
