  • Maths
  • Hindi

So, here we have gone about covering each subject individually enlisting the preparation tips and tricks on how you can go about comprehending in preparing for each subject.

English:

We have begun with the easiest subject which is English. In comparison to other subjects, English is quite scoring. However, one needs to read the chapters in detail which will not only help in understanding what the chapter speaks about but also aid in enhancing one's vocabulary as well. The subject of English can be divided into three parts which include: Passages, Grammar and Writing Skills.

While for passages general reading is sufficient to acquaint one with the topic, for grammar and writing skills one must practice constantly. Grammar happens to be one of the most scoring sections if given full concentration. As for writing skills, you must practice constantly in order to gain a good grip on your writing and language. Read as much as possible along with practising previous year's papers wherein also you can refer to what were the questions asked so as to accordingly prepare oneself.

When writing the paper:

When you are writing the paper try to maintain a pattern and format. Writing skills like Essays, Letters must include a proper Introduction, Body and Conclusion.

Social Studies

The second easiest part of CBSE Class X includes social studies. However, for gaining good scores in this subject, you must be well accustomed to dates and facts which require immense practice. Social Studies include Geography, History, and Civics. Thus, there includes numerous facts and figures to be remembered.

How to prepare?

  • Maintain notes of important dates and timelines which are outlined in every chapter included in the syllabus.
  • To make social studies more interesting, read it like a novel or a story instead of a chapter. This will help you retain more information in your mind.
  • Practice writing the answers every day so as to keep a tab of the word count.
  • Additionally, solve as many previous year question papers as possible along with sample papers every alternate day to keep a tab of what is studied and how much needs to be covered.

Science

Science in Class X CBSE comprises three subjects covered in one book which include Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. Moreover, it is extremely fun if taken in the proper sense. When understood they can help you score more marks. Here are a few points to note:

  • Get a good idea of what is included in the syllabus and accordingly prepare your timetable. Also, enlist all the important questions chapter-wise based on the course outline.
  • As in physics and chemistry, the syllabus will include formulae and maintain a separate sheet which includes all the formulae at one place.
  • At the same time, for experiments and Biology diagrams maintain a separate notebook.
  • Understand the concepts well instead of just rote learning. Additionally, highlight the important points which can be useful at the time of revision.
  • Revisit the folder or notes at the time of a revision to ease the stress.

Mathematics:

Maths as a subject can aid in increasing your score, but this requires determination and complete perseverance. Moreover, it aids in enhancing one's analytical abilities, decision-making as well as reasoning. Thus, this requires a smart approach to make it work in your favour.

How to study?

  • Prepare notes comprising formulae from all the chapters included in the syllabus
  • Practice every day and solve the sums and practice problems to clear your concept base.
  • During the exam as well as preparation ensure to read all the questions thoroughly before it is clear to you how to solve
