CBSE Class 12 Maths Exam Writing Tips

Follow the answer writing tips for CBSE Class 12 Maths provided to you below for a perfect score in the exams. 

• Utilise the first 15 minutes

The board provides 15 minutes to students after the distribution of papers, so that they can read the question paper, analyse it, and devise a strategy for the next three hours. These 15 minutes are crucial for students since wisely utilising them can actually help you write long and detailed answers in the exam for all the questions, without missing out on any question. Plan your next three hours in a manner such that you end up writing satisfactory answers for all the questions and time management does not come across as an issue during the examination. 

• Read the Instructions Carefully

Sometimes students who write good and detailed answers also end up getting lower marks because they don’t read the question carefully in a hurry and write wrong and inappropriate answers. Hence, it is important to make sure that you are writing correct answers along with detailed and good language proficiency. The question paper sometimes presents answers in a tricky manner to confuse students. You have to prevent yourself from getting caught in the trap by focusing on words like “not”, “or”, and more. 

• Use Rough Paper

Maths exam can be better solved and completed on time if students use rough paper to solve questions, calculate, and write detailed stepwise steps. Especially for questions such as MCQs where students are already in a dilemma, rough paper helps students to write stepwise solutions and then work on finding the correct answers. 

• Don’t Miss the Steps

Mathematics is one subject where if a student misses out on one important step of the solution, then the entire answer can be marked as wrong or inappropriate by the examiner. Additionally, the board has also laid out the evaluation scheme for the subject where the complete mention of the procedure ensures full marks in that question. Failure to do so might result in the loss of unnecessary marks. Hence, students are advised to write all the steps of the process. All the 2 marks, 3 marks, and 5 marks questions should be answered appropriately and mention all the steps of the solution.

• Use Language Appropriately

Maths is not only about showing the appropriate use of formulas and writing the correct answers with the complete solution. A lot of questions involve appropriate usage of language in the solution process, thus adding to the examiner’s understanding of the student. This might get you full marks or some brownie points. For example, listing down the already provided values in the question is an important step in the solution. 

• Cross-check Your Calculations

CBSE does not allow the usage of calculators in the exam. Students have to solve the entire sum on their own. Sometimes, the pressure of completing the paper or jumping on to the next question might result in wrong calculation. Hence it is always advisable to re-check your answers again during the revision round. 

• Read Assertion/Reasoning Questions Properly 

Assertion-reasoning questions are competency-based questions incorporated by CBSE to test the understanding of the subject students. There are a total of two such questions in the question paper under the MCQs segment and they are often made tricky in nature such that students use their understanding of concepts, thoughts, and ideas to solve it. 

• Read the Case-Study Properly

Case-study-based questions are all about your understanding of the problem provided to you and your capability to apply various concepts of the subject in solving it. Hence, the answers can be answered appropriately only if a student reads the case study/passage/problem provided to them, carefully. 

• Re-Check Your Formulas

Formulas are a crucial part of the subject and sometimes it might happen that the students have used the wrong formula or written it incorrectly, thus resulting in the wrong solution and answer. Hence, it is always advisable to check the formulas and their applicability again during the revision. 

We hope these answer writing tips assist you in writing perfect answers in the board exams. All the best for your paper tomorrow!!
