1. Addition of more objective-type questions comes with an additional advantage for students as they will be able to spare more time to write long and subjective type answers in their exams, hence will increase their chances of scoring better marks. To prepare for objective-type questions, students must clear all their concepts and learn all definitions, formulae and important terms/facts by heart.

While writing the exam:

Read the question and options carefully
Calculate the answer first in the mind and take out the suspected answers
Eliminate the options that do not match your answer
Work with the options that are near to the correct answer (according to you) to arrive at the correct one

2. As far as the reduction in the overall score is concerned, students need not make any different preparation arrangements for this change as it has nothing to do with their course syllabus or preparation techniques. They just need to work hard in each subject to score good marks so that they can have a decent aggregated score at the time of the final assessment. They should practice with model papers and previous years' question papers to get an idea of topics that are frequently asked in exams and also know the type of questions asked over years.

3. Internal assessment aims at estimating a student’s educational progress and ability of learning. This requires students to be consistent in their performance throughout the year as the internal marks will be based on continuous evaluation instead of year-end evaluation. They should actively participate in the different activities conducted as a part of the internal assessment like test of listening and speaking skills in language subjects, conducting experiments for practical examinations, etc.
