Reading Section
This is the most scoring section. Here are a couple of tip:

• Read the questions before reading the passage as this helps you to find the answers quickly.
• Solve sample papers available on the CBSE site or in the market.

Writing Section

Follow the formats strictly. Note down the causes, effect and steps and put them into proper paragraph. As far as possible, avoid repetition.

Literature Section

Read the poems and prose texts thoroughly. Underline important phrases and use them as key words in answers. If in doubt take the help of your teacher. Stick to the word limit, especially for short answers. For the long answers, write the value points in the margin before framing the answers.

Solve previous year papers from reference books.
