Tip of the day

Use the reading time. In the 15-minute reading time, mark the questions you are sure about and start with them.

Maths

Show every step

Marks are awarded for steps. Write the formula, substitute the values, then solve.

Maths

Keep a formula sheet

One page for each chapter. Add the formulas you forget most often and revise the sheet daily.

Maths

Define variables first

In word problems on age, speed or mixtures, say what x stands for before writing the equation.

Science

Draw and label neatly

Ray diagrams, circuits and the human eye are quick marks when they are clean and labelled.

Science

Balance every equation

Check atoms on both sides for each chemical equation, and add state symbols when the question asks.

Science

Read NCERT line by line

Go through the text and the in-text questions. Many Board questions are built from them.

English

Practise the formats

Learn the layout of letters and other writing tasks until it becomes automatic.

English

Questions first, then passage

For unseen passages, read the questions first, then the passage, then answer in your own words.

Practise maps often

Map items are easy marks. Practise marking and labelling with a pencil every week.

Make a one-page timeline

For History, list the key dates and events on one page and highlight the keywords.
