Some common mistakes that students do:
- Mistake: -21+4 = 17
- Correction: -21+4 = -17
- Mistake: 2(x2+1) = 2 x2+1
- Correction: 2(x2+1) = 2x2+2
- Mistake: sin (x+y) = sin x + sin y
- Correction: sin (x+y) ≠ sin x + sin y
Tips to Revise
- Mathematics is a subject that cannot be read. Practice makes maths perfect. So, practice mathematics by writing and actually solving the questions.
- Practice all the NCERT questions including the solved examples.
- Practice all the Board questions asked in the last five years (that comes under current syllabi).
- On the eve of the exam, go through the revision notes.
- You can write down all the formulae/identities/results to speed up recollection of the same during the exam.
- We advise you to take proper sleep, do not do overnight revision because a fresh mind is very important on the D-day.
Hope our endeavour in providing you with important topics and handy tips will be fruitful in ensuring you to tackle the upcoming examination.
Best of luck!
