Preparation Tips for Sikkim Board Class 10

Students should not depend on rote-learning. They should develop a strong understanding in the concepts and solve sample questions to deepen their knowledge in the topics. Here are a few important tips to help students ace their class 10 exams:

• Students must set a timetable that is well-organised. Extra time should be dedicated to challenging subjects.
• Time tracking is very important. All the subjects should be allocated equal time with regular breaks as spending too much time on one subject will impact the preparation for other subjects.
• As much as possible, students must practice previous year’s question papers, sample and model papers. Students can improve the actual preparation levels by writing frequently.

Detailed Study Plan for Sikkim Board Class 10

Below-mentioned is the detailed study plan to help students score good marks in all the subjects effortlessly.

• To score good marks in Maths, students must essentially practice the problems and revise the concepts everyday. The example problems must be followed thoroughly to learn the accurate stepwise procedure. Also, it is essential to memorise the formulas and know when and where to implement them to get the solution. Once the syllabus is completed, students must practice previous year question papers or sample papers for self assessment.
• Scoring good marks in Science is quite easy if students follow the right preparation strategies. All the chapters of the subject must be learnt without missing any topic to ensure they do not miss out on important concepts. If students feel overwhelmed while studying Science, they can prioritise the topics based on their weightage. This ensures that the topics with higher weightage are completed first. Practising diagrams is equally important. Students must not miss out on any diagrams associated with important concepts.
• As Social Science is categorised into 4 units with multiple topics in each unit, students must focus on completing a particular unit before proceeding to the next. This also increases the confidence level of students as they keep learning each chapter perfectly. Students must go through the previous year’s question papers to understand the question paper pattern and the types of questions being asked in the exam.
• English is one of those subjects that must be learnt naturally by students. Instead of rote learning, students can understand the gist of each chapter and write the answers in their language. To do so, students must strengthen their vocabulary and grammar skills. They can also read magazines and newspapers during their time.

The exam is divided into two parts: Mental Ability Test (MAT) and Scholastic Ability Test (SAT).
2. Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT): The SAT is a well-known standard test. The College Board Organization of the United States organises it. It is for students who want to study in another country. Almost all abroad institutions require the SAT as a precondition. The test focuses on three essential criteria that the student must meet: Essay Writing and English Grammar are used to assess writing skills Critical Reading comprehension is assessed by analysing performance on passages Maths This test is needed for all students who wish to study in a foreign country. SAT scores are increasingly being accepted as a substitute to entrance exams in Indian universities.
3. Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojana (KYPY): The motive of the exam is to attract the students to pursue basic science courses and research career in science, The exam helps in identifying the candidates suitable for reserach and motivates them to choose the research career on Science.
