Expert Tips for Excelling in Mathematics using sample paper.


Mathematics has always sent shivers down the spines of many students. But it does play a crucial role for the students in higher studies and also after they are out of schools. The subject needs a lot of routine practice and patience. To excel in mathematics, students should go through the last 10-year sample papers to analyze the pattern of the paper, type of questions asked and other important aspects of the exam. Students in class 10th and 12th should put in a lot of efforts in practicing maths daily so that it turns easier for them to solve questions during board exams. One should go through the syllabus of the subject right at the beginning of the session in any board and should practice the questions beforehand so that it turns easier for students to study when the teacher explains in class.  CBSE syllabus of class 10 maths includes topics like trigonometry and algebra wherein pupils should focus more as most of the students tend to get stuck in questions from these chapters. CBSE syllabus of class 12 maths includes inverse trigonometric functions and calculus that can prove a little tricky to those who have a phobia of maths.

Many students tend to fear from the very subject so much so that they never practice questions of mathematics. Students especially in class 10 and 12 either take tuitions or enroll in the best coaching institutes in the hope of scoring well in exams. Sometimes even the best coachings for class 10 are not able to produce the best results. To all the students in 10th and 12th and to those who have a phobia of the very subjects here are the following points that can help students excel in Maths:

1. Students should always make a strong, well defined and proper plan for study and time management. This will allow the students to score the maximum marks according to their potential and manage time properly at the time of the examinations.

2. Proper schedule to solve maths questions is really important lest even the best coachings of maths will not be able to prove of any help.

3. The student should go through rigorous routines of mock examinations especially class 9 and 10 students who should go through sample papers of their respective boards, for instance, class 9th maths sample paper and class 10th sample paper may prove of some help.  

4. Flashcards and sticky notes can prove helpful in memorizing the formulae; this will also make studying maths interesting.

5. Even the best coachings in Delhi will not be beneficial if students do not solve questions daily, easy questions should be attempted first and the gradually difficult question should be solved. 

6. Students should not give one tricky question more than 10 minutes as more consumption of time on one question can lead students to suffer in exams for they have limited time. 

7. The student should move on to the next question being unable to solve any given single problem.

8. Pupils should follow the solving pattern given in the sample papers so that it turns easier for them lest they get confused. 

Study Plan

 1. Set your time limits. Give minimum time to easy questions and not more than 10 minutes to tricky questions.  

 2. Best coaching institutes too today give weekly sample papers to students to solve especially to the students of class 1o and 12.
  
3. Solve the mock papers regularly and try to finish the 30 minutes prior to the given time.

4. One can download class 10 sample papers from the website of CBSE while other boards also have sample papers on their websites.

5. Practice geometry daily, try making graphs regularly.  

6. Mug up the formulae and solve questions from tricky subjects like algebra regularly.

7. Focus on easy chapters first and then jump on to the difficult ones.

8. Keep a track of your performances so that you can analyze them at regular intervals.

With a proper time table and the given study plan, a student will be able to shed off his/her fear of the subject and will be able to excel in the same easily.

Concepts are key

Subjects like physics are very conceptual and the CBSE exams have numerical problems to test students’ ability to apply the concepts. It is very important that the student knows the correct approach to any problem while solving the same. If the student can approach the question correctly, most of the time his steps will be right and he will get the final answer without any problems. One of the best ways to develop command over the subject is to regularly solve Physics sample paper for class 11 and Class 12 Physics NCERT solutions . The following questions illustrate what needs to be kept in mind and how to approach the question in a planned manner. A convex lens of focal length 20 cm is placed 10 cm in front of a convex mirror of a radius of 15cm. Where should a point object be placed in front of the lens so that it images on itself? When a question such as this is asked, in most cases the student starts to find the image by applying lens formulae and mirror formulae for ea

Who’s afraid of Mathematics?

For good or bad, competition is here to stay in Indian Higher Education. The admission cut-offs in colleges are seeing new highs every year. And the examination patterns of both Board exams, as well as entrance tests, are changing constantly to take into account the increasing gap between a number of seats in premier colleges and the number of applicants vying for them. A very big change in the marking system when a student shifts from board exams to entrance tests is there is no fixed concept of “good marks”. While in school exams there are fixed parameters like 80% or A grades which can be treated as good, in entrance exam the selection process is based on Ranks and percentiles and not really percentage scores. Thus the only principle that works is doing as much as you can. However, most of the entrance exam has negative marking for wrong answers and thus accuracy also plays a vital role in the selection process. Quantitative Aptitude is almost an integral part of alm
