However, whichever area you choose to study in the future, you certainly can’t escape the Class X science exam. Our experts provide some tips for the students on how to ace this subject for the board exams.

Physics
You must get a grip on the fundamental concepts of the subject.
Majority of the exam contains direct formulae and theorem-based questions. Hence, revise them thoroughly to solve questions accurately.
You should use the formulae and theorems extensively in solving various problems from last years’ papers and model papers.
Chemistry
This high-scoring subject also requires lesser time for preparation which is great news for the students.
Through in-depth study of the subject and extensive practice, speed and accuracy in solving different problems can be acquired.
Also, one must study the name reactions and make charts of formulae along with names and revise them as and when possible.
Biology
As the subject includes lots of diagrams, one must give special attention to important diagrams and their theory. You should make sure that you remember the important terms and their respective functions.
The subject involves learning and memorising difficult terminology. It’s best to write such terms repeatedly so as to get acquainted with them.
One must be thorough with the important definitions as the subject is mostly theory.
