TIPS:

• Revise all the formula’s learned by you all through the year. Memorize only the crisp definitions along with the derivation part.
• Practice by solving out each and every question. As solving will provide you an idea on where you are going wrong and how could you improve on them.
• Give special attention on Proving Symmetricity, Solving linear equations, Row & Column Transformation, Mean Value & Rolle’s Theorem, Limit of Sums, Maxima & Minima Questions, Questions on Baye’s Theorem and Binomial Distribution.
• Also concentrate on other topics of Differential Equations, Tangent & Normal, Plane,  etc.
• Attempt each exercise’s same pattern of questions and decipher the technique applied to solve those, thus by memorizing the formulae implied on solving those. This will give you a clearer understanding of the subject.
• Find for new questions on the similar context from Previous Year Question paper, Sample paper and other Model test paper.
• Always time yourself while answering the sample papers as it will help you manage time during the exam.
• As it is the Last Moment try to revise a topic for not more than 2 times; as revising a topic which you understand less might take the toll of time for your other topics.
• Try and finish chapters which you find easy to understand as it will boost your confidence.
• Practice NCERT books thoroughly. CBSE board exam question papers are completely based on this book.
• Extra Questions are also available through refresher books. Refer them only after when you are through with the NCERT.
