In the CBSE Class 10 SST board exams, certain topics have consistently been emphasised due to their significance in the curriculum. Focusing on these areas can enhance preparation and boost your confidence. Here’s a breakdown of the most frequently asked topics across the four subjects:

CBSE Class 10 Social Science Exam: What to revise on the last day?

On the last day, the focus should be on quick revision rather than a detailed study. Key concepts, keywords, and frequently asked questions need to be practised thoroughly. The following strategies can be implemented –

–Thorough reading of NCERT key points, keywords and mind maps of each chapter which u can get in any reference book.

–In subjects like history make self-notes and focus on the cause-effect relationships. For example, why was CDM launched, what were the effects, and why was it called off??

–Do not spend too much time on maps. Follow the maps given in CBSE curriculum which you can find on the official CBSE website.

–For 2 marks of history maps, only the Nationalism in India chapter needs to be studied. The remaining 3 marks of geography, focus more on the Lifelines of the national economy as it’s a special chapter for maps.

–For civics memorise 2-3 points of each topic to write detailed answers.

–Mind maps really help study the economics chapter in quick time.

–Revise your handwritten notes. Do not focus on learning something new, instead focus on the topics you already know.

CBSE Class 10 Social Science Exam: How to write answers?

–During the exam, answer written in points is always encouraged as compared to answers written in paragraphs. Use a pencil to underline keywords. Use headings and subheadings in long answers.

A well-structured answer with key points, underlined words, and a neat presentation always ensures better marks even if your content isn’t perfect.

CBSE Class 10 Social Science Exam: How to handle difficult/confusing questions?

–Read the question carefully. If the question asks to describe then focus on writing facts, if it asks to analyse then provide reasoning.

–Keep smart answering techniques, do not overwrite. Keep a pointwise and detailed explanation of the answer.

–To avoid confusion, breaking down the question can help. For instance,Who, What, where and why of the question?

–To answer difficult questions, always start the answer with the introduction in which you write what you know about that particular topic. After the main answer don’t forget to write the conclusion as it will ensure some additional marks.

–Instead of keeping the answer blank, write something relevant. Don’t be stuck on difficult questions for a long time. Rather, move ahead and solve the easy ones first.
