Get dream marks in Physics in CBSE 12th board

CBSE 12th board exams are one of the most important exams in a student’s entire academic life. Good scores in this exam are often a pre-requisite to securing admission into a good college or course and poor marks may lead to a blemished career. Getting 90%+ in 12th board exams is a matter of prestige for all but getting high marks in PCM (Physics, Chemistry, Maths) group is really a tough nut to crack. The tips to score good marks in Physics are as follows:

Study NCERT books for clearer basics

Students should give maximum importance to Physics NCERT books for a clear understanding of concepts. A thorough understanding of concepts would allow the students to tailor conceptually correct and complete answers. Students should read the Physics chapters thoroughly and highlight or list important points in bullet form. Listing points in bullets would help the students in quick revision before exams. After thorough reading, students should attempt all the end-of-chapter questions listed in Physics NCERT textbooks. Students can also support their answers with neat & well labeled diagrams or illustrations for extraordinary marks.

Students can seek help from various web portals offering free NCERT solutions for Physics.  Before referring to online solutions, students should make sure that the answers are relevant to the NCERT chapters and have no grammatical or spelling errors.

Practice and revision using Physics CBSE sample papers

A complete practice session using Physics CBSE sample papers, model papers and previous years question papers can help the students in scoring exceptionally well in Physics CBSE exams. CBSE sample papers and practice papers for physics are designed as per the latest CBSE syllabus and marking schemes. These sample papers can help the students assess their preparation levels and give them a clear idea about the extent of effort required to solidify the weaker zones in Physics.

After the students are through with the chapters in Physics NCERT, they can solve chapter wise sample questions listed in sample papers. This would assist the students in handling various kinds of questions, customizing answering styles as per the requirements of the question and completing the questions within the specified time frame. Solving a variety of sample papers and model test papers would boost their confidence and they would surely be able to beat exam related nervous tension and anxiety.

Students can find online sample papers and test papers with MCQ and interactive quizzes for complete revision sessions. Effective online revision sessions would help the students to improve their time management skills. 

If the students follow the above mentioned tips, they would surely be able to outperform in their Physics 12th board exam.

CBSE India introduces a common syllabus for Maths & Science!

The Union Ministry of Human Resource and CBSE India are leaving no stone unturned to make lives easy for school students across the various boards in India! The latest stride towards this endeavor is the introduction of a common syllabus for Maths and Science for the students of classes XI and XII across all the educational boards. Therefore, from the academic year starting 2011-12, students from all the boards in the country can look forward to a uniform syllabus!

An initiative like this by CBSE India will ensure a level playing field for all the students while they prepare for their engineering and medical entrance examinations. Hence, while all you students studying in classes XI & XII, preparing for your national level engineering and medical entrance exams from the year 2012, need no longer worry about the extensive syllabi covered by your friend in CBSE or other national/ state board.

A common syllabus is just the first step by the Human Resource Ministry and CBSE India towards a flexible pattern of education that is comparable to the education systems existing in the West. CBSE India also has plans in the pipeline to conduct a common entrance exam for Medical and Engineering courses in India by 2013. If such a plan by CBSE India gains acceptance from all the academic corners in the country, life after class XII is only set to get easier for students.

However, implementation of a common syllabus by CBSE India has also garnered a lot of criticism by NCERT. NCERT is of the view that Council of School Board of Education (COBSE) has no right to push the common syllabus agenda. NCERT believes that the decision to undertake any curriculum revision exercise should rightfully rest with itself as NCERT has been instrumental in all such changes over the past years. It also believes that COBSE is just a coordinating body between the various school boards in the country.

Amidst all this controversy, major stakes are now on successful implementation of this common syllabus scheme for Maths and Science. Success of a common syllabus like this could also spread cheer in the lives of students studying in the Commerce and Humanities streams. Talks are around for a uniform syllabus for various subjects in these streams as well. What more could have students asked for to ensure a smooth and stress-free studying experience!

There are various websites that provide CBSE-aligned learning resources for students studying in classes V-XII. A common syllabus for Maths and Science will also ensure that more students can now seek help from such websites and reap benefits of quality and extensive learning resources.

All students studying under CBSE India can expect a lot of good news in the near future as well.

All the best for the future!
