Ten Preparation Tips for UP Board Class 12 Mathematics Exam

  • Divide the syllabus into chunks: The syllabus of UP Board Class 12 Maths is quite vast. Therefore, try to break the syllabus into small parts and practise a minimum of one or two parts daily. This will help the students to cover the whole syllabus easily and in an organised manner.
  • Understand the main concepts: Understanding the concepts is the base for every subject. Every student needs to clarify and understand the basic concepts initially to ease the preparation process. There are a few main topics in Mathematics such as Algebra or Probability, which form the very foundations of the subject. Hence, it becomes important for students to understand the basic concepts of these topics, as this will help in solving the difficult questions easily.
  • Start early: It is almost impossible for students to understand a subject overnight. The students appearing for board examination need to start preparing for a subject like Mathematics with the start of the session. This will leave ample time to practise more questions which in turn will boost the confidence level of the student. 
  • Maintain a maths dictionary or a formula sheet: This is an essential step of the preparation process. The students should write down all the formulae and important concepts in a separate notebook and learn these regularly. This will help in quick revision of the important formulae and concepts before the exam.
  • Practise the easy concepts with the difficult ones: Students preparing for board exams are often advised to do the difficult chapters first and cover the easy ones in the end. However, as Mathematics is a subject that requires complete focus, doing difficult chapters at a stretch will lead to fatigue and lower concentration level. Hence, prepare a schedule wherein a mix of difficult and easy chapters is taken care of. 
  • Practise previous years’ question papers: This is one of the most important tips as it allows students to understand the exam pattern and identify repetitive questions. Practising UP Board 12th previous years question papers regularly will also help students in managing their time during the exam. 
  • Go over your mistakes: While practising previous years question papers or mock tests, students identify their weak areas and work on them. This will ensure fool-proof preparation and boost the confidence level.
  • Apply math in your daily life: Students need to apply Math in daily life as it will teach them exactly where and how a particular concept can be used in the real world. This will also help them to remember the concept for a longer period. 
  • Learn some good shortcuts: Some topics in Algebra and Trigonometry can be solved quickly by applying a few shortcuts. Hence, go through the reference books and learn these shortcuts to save time in the exam while cross-checking the answer.
  • Master your fear: Most of the students preparing for board exams are terrified and are under a lot of stress. They often succumb to the stress and underperform. It is crucial for every student to stay calm and relaxed during the preparation. Students must focus on practising the questions daily and cover the syllabus before the exam.
