Top 10 Tips for Scoring High in CBSE Class X Science
- Master the NCERT — Your Real Exam Bible
Most CBSE Science questions come directly or indirectly from the NCERT textbook.
Your first priority: Read every line, every diagram, every activity, every table.
- Highlight the important terms
- Practice all NCERT questions
- Solve the in-text questions again
Tip for Parents & Teachers:
Ensure the child revises NCERT at least twice before the exam.
- Focus on High-Scoring Units
The Science paper has predictable and scoring chapters:
Physics (Understanding + Formulae)
- Light
- Electricity
- Magnetic Effects of Current
Chemistry (Concept + Reaction Memory)
- Chemical Reactions
- Acids, Bases & Salts
- Metals & Non-metals
- Carbon Compounds
Biology (Diagrams + Conceptual Understanding)
- Life Processes
- Control & Coordination
- How Do Organisms Reproduce?
- Heredity & Evolution
Smart Tip:
Revise by weightage, not by size of the chapter.
- Practice Previous Years’ Papers — The Winning Strategy
Most toppers swear by this method.
Why?
Because patterns repeat, concepts repeat, and even questions repeat.
⏳ Set a 3-hour timer
- Solve the paper
- Analyse mistakes
- Track improvement
- Diagrams = FREE Marks
Science exams LOVE diagrams.
✔ Human Eye
✔ Neuron
✔ Flower
✔ Reflex Arc
✔ Electric Circuit
✔ Magnetic Field Lines
Draw clean, labelled diagrams.
Even if your answer is slightly weak, a perfect diagram saves marks!
- Memorize Formulae the Smart Way
Create a small notebook or one-page chart:
✓ Physics formulas
✓ Units
✓ SI values
✓ Derivations (simple ones)
Stick it on your wall.
Revise it twice daily like a mantra.
- Concept Clarity Beats Rote Learning
Boards focus on application-based questions.
✔ Why does the sky appear blue?
✔ Why do metals conduct electricity?
✔ Why is DNA copying important?
✔ Why is a concave mirror used in torches?
If your concepts are clear, you will never be stuck in the exam hall.
7. Time Management — Don’t Lose Marks Unnecessarily
⏱ First 15 minutes: Read the paper calmly
✏ Start with the easiest questions
�� Leave space and come back to difficult ones
�� Double-check diagrams and units
Remember:
Speed + Accuracy = High Score
- Revise in Cycles, Not in Bulk
Follow the 1–3–7 Revision Formula:
- Revise once today
3. Again after 3 days
7. Final revision after 7 days
This improves retention by 200%.
- Avoid Last-Minute Panic
Relaxed mind = Better memory.
✔ Eat light
✔ Sleep minimum 7 hours
✔ Stay hydrated
✔ Avoid excessive phone use
✔ Do a quick revision, not new chapters
Parents: Encourage, don’t pressurize.
Your calmness becomes your child’s strength.
