Practice diagrams like lines of the magnetic field around a solenoid and a bar magnet, electric circuit diagram, AC and DC generator, image formation by lenses, the human eye, glass prism, image formation for both defected and correct vision.

Practice previous year question papers and model test papers to get an idea on what types of numerical and theoretical questions are asked from Physics portion.

• Preparation Tips for Class 10 Science – Chemistry

Chemistry is a high-scoring part and requires lesser time for preparation. Learn the tips involved in balancing chemical equations. Also, memorize the applications of acids, and bases in everyday life. Students must know the common names, preparation, chemical formula, and uses of acids, bases, salts and its compounds.

Focus on carbon compounds and its nomenclature containing functional groups, homologous series, branched, unbranched and ring structures, allotropes.

Make proper notes of all reactions involving the conversion of compounds. These revision notes will assist in your last-minute preparations.

Understand the Modern periodic table with electronic configuration and memorize all the elements placed in the 1st and last two groups of the Periodic table. If not done till you can learn first 20 elements i.e. from hydrogen to calcium, and group 1,2, 17,18 and period 1,2,3,4

Speed and accuracy can be acquired through extensive practice of periodic table.

• Preparation Tips for Class 10 Science 2 – Biology, Enviourmental science

In biology, the students must practice diagrams like the representation of respiratory system, energy cycles, mitosis, meiosis, different parts of a flower, female and male reproductive organs, animals birds and organism from animal kingdom, various disasters and incidents from disaster management and social health etc.

In Biology, there are complex terminologies that could be memorized by doing regular revisions. It is always good to write and understand those terms to get acquainted with them.

Understand the functions performed by the various system, reproductive organs in humans and the reproduction process in plants.

Biology comprises of several complex diagrams, therefore students must build a habit of drawing a neat and clean diagram while writing the answers. This will also help them in scoring more marks. If the diagram is technically wrong student get zero marks even if the labeling is correct.
