Preparation Tips for CBSE Class 9 Maths Term 1 Exam
Actually, there is only one rule of thumb when it comes to Maths: To score more, practice more. In a subject like Maths which is purely based on logic and formulas, there is no shortcut to scoring high. Nonetheless, keeping the following points in mind will help you prepare better for the upcoming exam:
i) Take a pen and paper and solve Math problems. Do not read through Maths like theory subjects. If you rote learn formulas without understanding, you will find them difficult to retain.
ii) Maintain a formula book to write formulae chapter-wise. This will save time during revision.
iii) Solve as many sample papers as you can and put a timer on it. This will help you to manage time during exams.
iv) Clarify your doubts whether small, big, topic related or exam related. You can ask your doubts to our experts who will solve them instantly for you. In fact, click here to post your question right now!
v) Solve textbook questions at least thrice, because most questions are asked directly from the textbook. Also, practice the solved examples.
vii) Theorems and formulae are the most important features in Mathematics. Glance through them daily to enhance memory.
viii) Practice different types of questions without looking at the solution first and develop problem-solving skills to tackle any tricky question.
ix) Take a minute to read the problem, try to visualize the solution in your mind, and then start writing.
x) Most important of all keep calm and stay confident! You can do it!
