The document provides guidance on effective exam preparation and revision strategies: - Revise all theorems, formulae, and chapters, focusing on 2 or more chapters at a time using a mixed approach - Allot fixed times for focused revision, such as 2 hours for full concentration - Practice timing yourself to optimize your speed and accuracy, such as allowing 3 minutes per mark on exams - Solve problems from question banks and practice books, focusing on higher-order thinking questions - Refer to examples of solving practice exam questions step-by-step The goal is to thoroughly prepare and give yourself sufficient timed practice in order to perform well on exams.

3. Revision of all the exercise
Revision of theorems
Revision of all the formulae

4. At a time revise two or more chapters
Use mixed bag approach for revision
Allot fixed time for revision when your
mind is completely focused in studies

8. Minimum two papers of each (algebra
and Geometry) should be solved.
Ideal timing for writing these papers. 11
a.m. to 1 p.m.
Get these papers assessed

10. Solve all the problems from the question
bank
Refer available practice book
The higher order thinking skill questions
can be asked in any question
e.g. Find sin (-300º)

11. If α and β are roots of the quadratic equation
4x2 – 5x + 2. Find the equation whose roots are
1
Sol:
and
1
4x2 – 5x + 2 = 0
∴ a = 4, b = −5, c = 2
If α and β are the roots of this
equation, then
