Important Points to Note

  • NCERT Questions are Very important - 3 Questions have come straight from NCERT Book.

  • 10 Questions are very similar to the questions in the NCERT Book . Just values are changed

  • 1 mark question has 10 Multiple Choice Questions, 5 Fill in the Blanks and 5 answering questions

  • In Answering questions, there is step marking. In MCQ and Fill in the blanks, no step marking

  • When cancelling square roots, don't forget to write plus-minus sign ±

  • Writing units is important or half marks is cut, eg: x =3 is wrong, x = 3 metre is right.

  • Formula of all chapters has 1/2 marks

  • Formula of Statistics (Chapter 14) has 1 mark

  • In Chapter 9 Heights and Distances, 1 mark is given for correct figure

  • 1 Question of Theorem will come. (Of Chapter 6 or 10)

  • 1 4-Marks question of Construction will come

  • Remember the formula for Length of an arc (Chapter 12)
    Length of arc = θ/360 × 2πr
    It is used when length of arc is given, and we need to find angle


  • In questions where the answer can be found easily (like finding curved surface area of frustum if height and radius is given), calculation is difficult. 1 mark will be deducted if you have not found the exact answer

  • All questions of the Sample Paper has been solved, with marking scheme also given of each and every step. Click next to start doing the questions

 

Tips for CBSE Boards 2020
