How to tackle CBSE class XII mathematics paper
Hey people!
I have seen that a lot of you recently came here looking for HINTS AND TIPS on how to tackle the CBSE Class XII mathematics paper, so here it goes:
1. Try to finish all your study a day before the paper (by study I mean - all the theory you want)
2. DO THE CBSE SAMPLE PAPERS (VVVV important - the question paper is set in a similar fashion
3. On the last day - do as many examples from whatever book you have, as you can. NOTE: Most books have a special notation for questions that they have taken from the NCERT - do those particularly.
4. This should prepare you well for the exam ->
On the exam day <>
1. Take a shower, no matter how late you get up - or even if you didn't sleep at all --- a shower revitalizes your mind (use a menthol shampoo - if you have one).
2. Study on the way to the EXAM center - even if you are well prepared - just read some examples while you are on the move - this keeps the mind active - and it does not have to boot up in the class room. (you don;t miss out on any new ideas)
3. During the 15 minutes reading period : Look through the first few pages - and try to visualize the solutions in mind (be quick - don't start solving it -- just see the solution steps)
- This would help you glide through the first two pages of the Question paper - and a GOOD start is all you need!
4. Even if you don't know a question and feel as if you can get some help from your friends or can give some help to a needful -- DO NOT. I made the same mistake - it is stupid to do so in the middle of the exam - because you waste time looking for an oopurtunity to peep and poke!
Instead - finish all you can first. And then I am sure there'll be time for you to ask your peers or to dawn the mantle of Mother Teresa!
5. Keep your chin up - there are no IIT level questions here - YOU CAN solve all of them (i.e. if you have read something on the topic) . . .
6. Do them all - even if partially - because you get points to attempt the QUESTIONS -- but DO not annoy the checker - by writing stupid stuff (even stupid answers - like trying to integrate when asked to differentiate - if that happens often - it is bad for you)... just do whatever you can.
7. Think from the perspective of the CHECKER - make life easy for her/him :
Draw margins - leave ample space after each answer - underline the answer - and the important steps --- YOu make it easy for her - she'll make it easier for you ;)
8. GOOD LUCK!

11/03/06 Saturday CBSE XII Mathematics Exam
Well this time I had some real good sleep for I was quite confident about Mathematics, my favorite subject. Things in the morning went as usual. The paper was also a simple one. I had completed the complete paper except one question while 20 minutes were still left… this one question: 'wow' now I wonder what wonders it had that I wasn’t able to crack it… don’t know . Although finally I was able to crack it but not fully, my stupid self had made an error by committing a rather stupid mistake.
The question : Itegrate (tanx)^1/2
And also I hadn’t done my best in the rest of the paper; in another question I had taken g=10 instead of 9.8m/s-2 which left me with an answer in sin-1 – sine inverse instead of a simple answer 90º
Well the paper didn’t go as expected but one doesn’t get everything in life yeh... soothing words ….but Why does it all happen to me…..?
