Your Study Plan

This is your board year. Follow each phase in order to prepare thoroughly and score high.

1

Foundation — Real Numbers & Polynomials

2 Chapters · Build your number theory base
1

Real Numbers

Euclid's division lemma, Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, irrational proofs, decimal expansions

2

Polynomials

Zeroes of polynomials, relationship between zeroes & coefficients, division algorithm

Board Exam Tip: Real Numbers carries 6 marks. The Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic is almost always asked — master it first!

2

Algebra — Equations & Arithmetic Progressions

3 Chapters · Heaviest marks weightage section (20 marks)
3

Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables

Graphical & algebraic methods: substitution, elimination, cross-multiplication

4

Quadratic Equations

Factorization, completing the square, quadratic formula, nature of roots

5

Arithmetic Progressions

nth term, sum of n terms, AP problems & real-world applications

Board Exam Tip: Algebra carries 20 marks total. Quadratic equations and AP are guaranteed 5-mark questions. Practice word problems!

3

Geometry — Triangles, Circles, Constructions

4 Chapters · Proofs & constructions (15 marks)
6

Triangles

Similarity criteria (AA, SAS, SSS), BPT, area ratios, Pythagoras theorem

7

Coordinate Geometry

Distance formula, section formula, area of triangle using coordinates

8

Circles

Tangent properties, number of tangents from a point, theorems & proofs

9

Constructions

Division of line segment, tangent to circle, similar triangle construction

4

Trigonometry — Ratios & Applications

2 Chapters · High-scoring identities & height-distance problems (12 marks)
10

Introduction to Trigonometry

Trigonometric ratios, ratios of complementary angles, trigonometric identities

11

Some Applications of Trigonometry

Heights & distances, angle of elevation & depression, real-life problems

Board Exam Tip: Sin²θ + Cos²θ = 1 identity questions appear every year. Memorize all three forms of the identity and practice proving LHS = RHS!

5

Mensuration — Areas, Surface Areas & Volumes

2 Chapters · Formula-heavy, high-scoring (10 marks)
12

Areas Related to Circles

Area of sector, segment, combination of plane figures

13

Surface Areas and Volumes

Combination of solids, conversion of one solid to another, frustum of cone

6

Statistics & Probability

2 Chapters · Straightforward scoring (11 marks)
14

Statistics

Mean (all 3 methods), median, mode of grouped data, cumulative frequency, ogive

15

Probability

Classical definition, simple problems on single events, complementary events

Final Revision & Board Mock Exams

FINAL STAGE · Full syllabus review + board-pattern timed tests

Formula Sprint — All Chapters

Rapid revision of every formula. Print and revise daily before the exam!

Previous Year Questions (PYQ)

Solve 5 years of board PYQs organized chapter-wise

Full Board Mock Exam

3-hour timed test following exact CBSE board pattern with official marking scheme

Final Strategy: Take at least 5 full mock exams under timed conditions. Review every mistake. Focus on HOTS & case-study questions from the new board pattern.
