Observations from the paper
-
Some 1 mark questions have 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
-
NCERT Questions are very important - 3 Questions out of 30 have come straight from NCERT. Other questions is very similar
-
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
-
