Follow
these tips and improve your percentage in the exams. Keep a pen and a notebook
handy.
Visualise
for a better recall:
History
with so many dates and economics with so many facts could turn boring, as these
are vast sections with many things to remember and write during the exam. Read
as, if you are reading a story and visualise each scenario in your mind. Doing so
will help you memorise it easily. Visual stories are easy to remember. These
stored images will help you in framing answers during exams.
Make your
notes with dates, names and numbers:
History
topics will contain lots of important dates and events. It means the dates when
wars were fought, treaties were signed, important conferences were held, birth
and death dates of important personalities, etc. So when you read your chapter,
keep a notebook and pen handy. It is important to make a timeline chart, it
will really help you remember important dates and events much better. For
example,
1914
|
Starting of first
world war.
|
1918
|
End of first world
war.
|
1929
|
The great economic
depression.

Well
practice the map:
You can
score full marks in maps provided when you practice markings. Map markings can’t be
mastered just by looking and going through the maps! You will have to plot the
asked locations on the map and practice it! First learn the political maps
thoroughly. If a question is asked like, ‘mark the place where tea is grown in
India’. If tea is grown in Assam, you should know where Assam is located. If a
question like ‘mark the Western Ghats’, you should know where it is located,
running through which states, like that you should learn and practice the
markings.
