B. Weightage to different forms of questions *

• Remembering:

Exhibit memory of previously learned material by recalling facts, terms, basic concepts and answers

• Understanding:

Demonstrate understanding of facts and ideas by organizing, comparing, translating, interpreting, giving descriptions and stating main ideas

• Applying:

Solve problems to new situations by applying acquired knowledge, facts, techniques and rules in a different way.

• Analysing :

Examine and break information into parts by identifying motives or causes. Make inferences and find evidence to support generalizations

• Evaluating:

Present and defend opinions by making judgments about information, validity of ideas, or quality of work based on a set of criteria.

• Creating:

D.  Difficulty level of questions            

 

S. No.	Estimated difficulty level	Percentage of marks
1.	Easy	20%
2.	Average	60%
3.	Difficult	20%

• Mathematics is a practical subject.
• It required practice throughout the year to understand the concepts thoroughly.
• 80 percent of the CBSE paper is targeted at only the average or below average student. So it is easy to get 40 per cent.

 Specific tips on tackling the exam paper

• Whatever you prepare solid.
• Conceptual questions need deep understanding.
• Solve at least 10 model papers and let them checked by some expert also record your timings.
• See center before (and reach there before time).
• Arrange all the pens/pencils/geometry box.
• At least keep two pens.
• Prefer to use ball pen.
• Keep a watch
• Take a good sleep.
• Avoid overeating.
• Roll  number(do not forget)
• Read the scheme of examination carefully
• Don’t plan cheating since it may disturb concentration and you may be debarred from examination.

• Concentrate only on paper while solving paper, ignore other outside activities
• Try to explain your answers with the help of diagrams wherever necessary.
• Structure time management.
• Solve from easy to hard, more questions of good weightage
• Your answers should be brief and to the point.
• Avoid cuttings and overwriting in your answer sheet.
• Underline the main points.
• Do not stick to a single question come back if time left
• Do not leave the units and symbols.
• Calculation rough work(Right side)
• Don’t forget to write question number
