Board Exam Buzz-CBSE 10 SST- How to give your best shot
Meritnation|Feb 19th, 2015 04:54pm
Social Studies Exam is on 10 March 2015 & the fact that this paper is the lengthiest syllabus to revise ,makes it all the more stressful. Oh! And not to forget there is festival of Holi in between too. Today we share few tips which help you put in your best for the SST exam.
The Social Science paper consists of four sections of approximately equal weightage. These are as follows:
History- 23 Marks
Geography- 23 Marks
Economics- 22 Marks
Civics- 22 Marks
Approach to the examination-
It is important to approach the paper with a calm and relaxed mind. A little bit of stress would be usual as it drives a student to work hard. However, one must not let that distract the mind from the task at hand. The focus should be on one question at a time.
**MUST READ- How to Deal with Boring Subjects?
One of the myths associated with social sciences is that, lengthy answers fetch more marks. It is advised to adhere to the word limits that are associated with each type of question. This can be achieved by writing the answers concisely and expressing them point-wise. It helps in evaluating the paper with a degree of objectivity and allows the examiner to gauge the depth of a student’s knowledge. Also, one should first attempt the questions that one is familiar with, in order to save time.
The remaining questions can be tackled later. MCQs and map questions present good scoring opportunities as they are based upon factual information. Therefore, they must not be left unanswered. Do spare time for revision at the end of the paper as well.To sum up, while answering, stick to what has been asked without diverging from the core subject of the question. Stay relaxed and put your best foot forward. The results would undoubtedly be positive.
Maps and social science-
Maps are an important component of social science. Therefore, a student is advised to familiarise oneself with the location of places of historical significance. In geography, maps are often used to highlight patterns and distribution. Correlating distribution with location is an important method of understanding the concepts of geography. Thus, even though map questions by themselves constitute only a small section of the paper, learning through maps helps one to remember key concepts.
