Maharashtra Board HSC exam preparations

1. Addition of more objective-type questions comes with an additional advantage for students as they will be able to spare more time to write long and subjective type answers in their exams, hence will increase their chances of scoring better marks. To prepare for objective-type questions, students must clear all their concepts and learn all definitions, formulae and important terms/facts by heart.

While writing the exam:

• Read the question and options carefully
• Calculate the answer first in the mind and take out the suspected answers
• Eliminate the options which do not match your answer
• Work with the options which are near to the correct answer (according to you) to arrive at the correct one

2. As far as the reduction in the overall score is concerned, students need not make any different preparation arrangements for this change as it has nothing to do with their course syllabus or preparation techniques. They just need to work hard for each subject to score good marks so that they can have a decent aggregated score at the time of the final assessment. They should practice with model papers and previous year question papers to get an idea of topics that are frequently asked in exams and also know the type of questions asked over years.
