landmark exam, the class 10th science exam is the last consolidated exam for science. For some students it's the end
of science studies and for others it's just the beginning. Whichever area you choose to study in the future, now is the
time to study science. Here are some tips!
Syllabus: Second Term
Total Marks 80
TIPS:
Take efficient notes to help during studying in addition to studying from books.
Clear any doubts you have at the earliest from a teacher and write down your doubt and what you understood
in your own words.
Create a separate list of important formulae to remember.
Focus on understanding the basic concepts and then remembering the details.
Write answers in your own words so you don't have to rely on memorized answers.
When writing your own answers the goal is clarity.
Practice diagrams; neatly drawn and labeled diagrams are scoring.
Make a study schedule and stick to it as much as possible. Give time for difficult chapters, easy chapters,
breaks and rest.
Keep reasonable targets but definitely meet them. The successful feeling will further boost your studies.
Whichever study timings you prefer, late night studying or early morning studying make sure that you
compensate on sleep.
Absolutely avoid pulling all-nighters. Although tempting, the lack of sleep will affect your mind's capabilities.
Use flash cards for key definitions
Pay attention in Practical classes, they might be for only 20 marks but taking interest since the beginning will
help your preparation for theory exam as well because understanding practically will help you in remembering
theory.
Study subject-wise, all physics topics together, chemistry topics together and biology topics together.
Complete all topics and focus primarily on NCERT books.
If joint studies suit you study occasionally with friends, by each studying a topic and summarizing it to the
others.
Revise at least twice.
Study previous year/ sample papers to be able to:
Identify trends
Identify your weak areas
Practice answering within the time limit
Thoroughly revise your weak areas. Take help from a teacher to understand the topic if there is any
confusion; don't try to blindly memorize it.
While you study remember to focus on basic concepts, a strong foundation goes a long way. The key is to study
throughout in small amounts without putting too much pressure on the last few days. Most importantly take care of
yourself by sleeping, exercising and eating healthy. A healthy body gives a healthy mind, and healthy minds give
healthy exams. All the Best!!
