Preparation Tips
The class 12 board examinations are based on the syllabus and the books of the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) and students need to have a deep understanding of it while preparing for the low difficulty level questions. Application of direct formulas and focus on calculations are the primary areas to cover while preparing for basic level questions.
To prepare effectively for high difficulty level mathematics, there must be conceptual clarity and students must thoroughly study every chapter of the NCERT books, while repeatedly practising extra questions and competency-based questions.
Clarity of the fundamental mathematical operations is the key at any stage of a student’s academic career. The understanding of the basic concepts of the subject must be done diligently and the formulas must be understood and memorized properly. Students must keep practising questions and test their comprehension on a constant basis. They must repeatedly practise different questions related to a particular topic and assess through a self-evaluation.
