Master NCERT first (60% effort): Every chapter, exercise, example, and in-text question. CBSE derives 70-80% of questions from NCERT directly or indirectly.
Solve 15+ sample papers (20% effort): Under strict timed conditions. After each paper, analyze mistakes and revise those topics.
Focus on presentation (10% effort): Neat handwriting, properly labeled diagrams, step-by-step solutions. CBSE awards marks for steps even if the final answer is wrong.
Daily revision (10% effort): Spend 30 minutes every day revising previous topics. Use flashcards or quick notes.
Reality check: Scoring 90%+ requires consistency over 6+ months, not last-minute cramming. Students who score 95%+ typically study 4-6 hours daily throughout the year.
