Tips and tricks to prepare for Physics class 10

Physics is a practical-based section. It should be understood by heart. Students cannot cram this section. Following are tips to prepare for this section

• It is a conceptual and formula-based subject. So students should be very particular regarding the learning of formulas. It should be on their tips.
• Practising diagrams is also essential. In chapters like the lens, mirror, AC, DC generator, etc. The drawing of the diagram is very important.
• Practice numerical questions precisely. Solve problems from chapters like lens, mirror, and resistance.
• Prepare a separate sheet consisting of full course formulas.
• Try to figure out the questions which appeared every year in the examination. Solve them nicely.
• If the student wants to master his subject, then they should understand its concepts rather than learn it.

• Chemistry is a scoring section. If students understand its concepts then they can easily deal with its applications too.
• Make a separate revision copy for balancing the chemical equation. Every year this topic is asked by the board.
• Keep an eye on carbon and its compound, its functional group, nomenclature, etc. 
• In chemistry, it is seen that NCERT is enough for the preparation of the board exams. Prepare thoroughly the solved examples and chapter exercises from the NCERT books.
• It is seen that 70-80% of questions of chemistry are from NCERT, so the student should thoroughly study chemistry. NCERT Books Class 10 are enough from the board’s point of view.
