Ten Preparation Tips for MBOSE HSSLC examination for Mathematics

Major tips to prepare for MBOSE HSSLC examination are given below:

1. Understand the syllabus: Students should know the whole syllabus to prepare for an exam. They should have complete knowledge of each unit, chapter, topic and sub-topics. Knowing the syllabus well will help the student to prepare for the exam effectively without wasting any time. 
2. Revise and Practise: The key to scoring well in a subject like Mathematics is practise. It will help students to solve the questions quickly. Revision of concepts will also help in creating a strong base during the preparation. 
3. Be consistent: Consistently solve Maths problems across the year to score well. Avoid starting the preparation a few months before the scheduled exam. Since the syllabus of MBOSE Class 12 Maths is vast, students should focus on studying, practising, and then revising each topic to score good marks
4. Keep a separate booklet for formulae: Maths can become relatively easier if students learn all the formulae. The formulae and derivations need to be on the fingertips of each student. Students must write down all the important formulae in a booklet for quick revision.
5. Solve the previous years and model question papers: Once students complete their syllabus, they should practise solving the model papers and previous year question paper. First, this will help them in familiarising themselves with the pattern and the kind of questions that are asked in the examination. Secondly, this can also help them in solving the actual question paper in a limited time. This, in turn, will help them identify the weak spots.
6. Prepare high scoring topics first: Focus on the easy chapters and topics, make a plan and study accordingly. There are various chapters that will help score well such as Matrices and Probability, which are relatively easier than the other topics. The students should start preparing such topics first to release their burden of preparation. However, equal focus should be given to all the topics by their weightage of marks in the MBOSE Class 12 Math
7. Focus on presentation too: During the Mathematics paper, students often forget that it is important to keep the answer copy organised and neat as well. This leaves a good impression on examiner and give you the benefit of the doubt at times. Write answers of all questions from various sections in one place, properly give the title to the answers, and avoid cancelling pages and solutions repeatedly. Also, do not forget to show appropriate workings wherever required.
8. Be wary of silly mistakes: While solving long questions, it is very possible to make silly mistakes. Sometimes students take the wrong equation to the next page, switch signs, forget to put some numbers, etc. This can change the entire answer which will result in losing marks. Be careful and observant while solving a question to avoid such mistakes. Also, always check the answer sheet twice before submitting it to the examiner. Any mistake can be corrected at the time of re-checking. 
9. Time management: Not only for the exam, but time management is also required during the preparation. Plan the whole day and stick to the schedule. Solving sample papers and mock tests would help improve speed and efficiency.
10. Don’t fear the subject: Maths is considered the toughest exam by many students. To overcome the fear of Class 12 Maths exam, students should focus on practising as much as possible, learning all the formulae and revising each topic thoroughly to score well.
