How to prepare yourself for pubic exams-Mathematics

In the Mathematics question paper, 40 one-mark questions are asked. Out which, 36 questions are from exercises found behind the textbook.  Rest of the 4 questions are taken from formulas and examples found in the textbook. Hence, giving more importance to questions found in exercises will help to obtain full marks in this section. Students should never forget that this section would help to accomplish the dream of getting centum in Mathematics.     

Similarly, the subject Mathematics comprises of several sections. Most of the students make the mistake of not studying a section completely, whereas they happen to study more selectively by choosing few questions here and there. This is completely wrong. If a section is selected for studying, work out all the problems in that section. No one can decide about the important questions to be asked in the exam.  It is possible to score full marks if all the problems are workout keeping in mind that any question could be asked in Mathematics. Do not leave any questions unanswered. Students should not be negligent about questions concerning theorems, formulas and one-mark questions, which are highly imperative.
