CBSE Class 10 | Mathematics | Some important tips for the board exam preparation


  1. Ensure that you have solved each and every question both – exercise questions and the solved examples from NCERT.
  2. Ensure that you have memorised all the required formulae. 
  3. Ensure that you are thorough with the proofs of the geometry theorems. 
  4. Ensure that you remember the values of trigonometric ratios (0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 90°). 
  5. Check the previous year questions should be solved. It gives you a better idea about the kinds of questions asked in the exam.
