The CBSE Class 10 Mathematics board exam for the year 2024 is scheduled to take place on March 11th, 2024. The study leave period holds immense significance for all students, granting a crucial opportunity for effective preparation. Students, when utilising this time wisely, can approach the Maths board exam with confidence and ease.
Mathematics often instils fear in a significant number of students, with many spending excessive time worrying about the subject rather than focusing on preparation. A considerable number of students, despite putting in substantial effort, may struggle to perform well due to a lack of proper direction and strategy.
To help students prepare effectively for the examinations The Telegraph Online Edugraph got in touch with Ms Satarupa Dey of BDM International School to get valuable tips for cracking the exam effectively “The first thing for a subject like mathematics is that students already have a phobia attached to the name of the subject. So my first and foremost suggestion to students would be that they need to regularly revise and practise what they have learnt. As per the board exam timetable of this year the mathematics exam is the last and hence I would recommend students practise their sums even during the study leaves they have for different subjects. This practice would keep the tempo going and in the end it would definitely work in their favour helping them fetch higher marks” added Ms Dey.
It is imperative for students to thoroughly review the CBSE Class 10 Maths syllabus for the year 2024 to understand the scope of study. In addition to covering the entire syllabus, students must familiarise themselves with the unit-wise weightage distribution. Regularly revisiting the syllabus ensures that no topic is inadvertently overlooked. Furthermore, students should prioritise chapters with higher weightage and complex concepts, allocating more time for practice accordingly.
“There is a huge tendency that CBSE follows that they are repeating questions. Hence, I would suggest all the students to follow and practise all the previous years question papers. For the last minute study students must create their own concise notes of the formula, theorem and different concepts so as to save time and be prepared to solve the final question paper” said Ms Dey.
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) follows the curriculum formulated by the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT). The prescribed NCERT textbooks serve as the primary resource material for CBSE Class 10 Maths students. The NCERT Maths textbooks include practice questions divided throughout each chapter, serving as invaluable tools for both practice and conceptual understanding. Solving these exercises not only enhances clarity but also contributes to achieving a score of 90+ in the CBSE Class 10 Maths exam.
“At times students also get nervous just by noticing the length of the question even if the problem is extremely easy to solve. In these cases, I would suggest students to remain absolutely calm, have a very positive mindset and approach it systematically. Note down what is given and what they need to find out in order to proceed further with the sum” pointed Ms Dey.
To excel in the CBSE Class 10 Maths board exam of 2023, it is imperative for students to tackle the sample question papers provided by the board. These papers offer insight into the question paper design, structure, and types of questions expected in the actual examination.
“Majority of students have the tendency to solve the question directly. In a subject like mathematics, I believe it is extremely important to note down what is already given in the question. Furthermore, students must also check and draw diagrams wherever necessary in order to provide more clarity to their answer and get good marks” added Ms Dey.
TOP 5 CBSE Class 10 Maths Preparation Tactics:
1. Establish a study schedule
2. Compile essential formulas
3. Prioritise high-weightage topics
4. Practice graph-related questions
5. Allocate time for daily revision
“Before sitting for the final three hour exam, students must practise time management. They must sit and solve last year’s question paper and analyse their weak and strong areas. As to which sum they are taking more time and which they are able to solve on a quicker basis. This practice would enable them to improve their performance on the final day when they sit for their board exam paper” concluded Ms Dey.
