    Can you help with any tips Commercial Applications for 10th ICSE too? And 2nd language Hindi also. The syllabus has changed for 2nd language Hindi this year and there is no way to even check through previous years paper for it. It would be helpful if you provide guiding for these subjects through links or suggest a guide book for the same.
    Thank you.

      Utkarsh,

      Hi there! First off, please don’t call me “sir.” 🙂

      As for your preparation, I’m assuming you are referring to all subjects. Now that you have completed the entire syllabus, start going through past years’ question papers. I would recommend that you solve only papers of subjects such as Mathematics and for the rest, especially theory papers, merely going through the questions and then answering them in your mind will be enough.
      However, if you feel that you require writing practice and if you need to improve your time management while writing exams, then I would recommend that you set a time limit and write past years’ question papers as if you were writing your actual final exam.

      Another thing I would suggest is for you to revise:

      * grammar (especially in Hindi or other regional languages, if you have opted for the same)
      * Math formulae (if you haven’t made a list of your own, you may refer to them as given here: https://icsehelpline101.wordpress.com/2013/05/13/mathematics-important-formulae-and-points-to-note/)
      * important equations in Chemistry
      * important formulae in Physics
      * names of authors/poets in English
      * important diagrams in Biology
      (you may refer to them here: https://icsehelpline101.wordpress.com/2014/04/28/biology-important-diagrams-from-all-chapters/)
      * important dates in History and Civics
      (you can find a list for the same here: https://icsehelpline101.wordpress.com/2014/03/05/history-important-dates-notes/)
      * maps of India
      (as given here: https://icsehelpline101.wordpress.com/2013/06/16/geography-solved-maps-of-india-diagrams/comment-page-1/#comment-2030)
      * important questions in topography
      (you will find various posts on the same if you search for “topography” in the Search bar on the right and bottom right of the blog page)
      * important “Name the Following” questions in Geography
      (for example, places where certain mineral ores are found: https://icsehelpline101.wordpress.com/2014/03/08/geography-minerals-of-india-notes/)

      By going through the above intricacies in every subject, you will be able to brush up your preparation and make sure you haven’t left out anything. This is of course, keeping in mind that you have already prepared the overall concepts of each chapter. Also, besides going through questions papers, you can check out the Pupils’ Analysis PDFs given on the CISCE website, which offer suggested answers for the previous year’s exam papers.

      Hope this helped! If you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.

      Thanks for stopping by! Keep visiting. 🙂

      I will definitely post last-minute tips before every exam and there is absolutely no need for you to worry about your Math exam. If you have been practicing throughout the year, you will score well. Keep on practicing math and make sure you remember all the formulae. Stay strong and don’t give up! Good luck for your exams! 🙂
