FAQs on ICSE Class 10 Mathematics Revision Notes
1. How much time should students allot for revision?
One can prepare and get good at a particular chapter with relative ease, but mastering it requires revising it time and again. Math is a vast subject and the syllabus for class 10 covers a wide range of topics with each chapter having various important formulae, derivations, theorems, and proofs. As we keep progressing in the syllabus, we tend to forget the chapters we studied earlier on. Thus, revision is essential and must not be kept at a low priority under any circumstance. Somewhere around four to six hours a week must be allotted solely for revising whatever you’ve learned so far.
2. What exactly must students do while revising a topic?
Answering it in one word, SOLVE. While reading and flipping through pages in a cursory manner might work for other subjects, you’re not going to get away by doing that for Mathematics. You have no alternative but to sit and solve different types of questions in the topic, write entire theorems without the help of a book, and make contestant results as you go along. Only when you’ve covered any and every possible question that may be asked about a particular topic have you completed your revision for it.
3. When is the right time to revise?
This is another question that really depends on the student. Everyone has their retention capacity and some students might need to revise more often than others. A good method to check what will work for you is to test yourself on the topics you’ve studied over the last month. If you still clearly retain everything, you can keep your revision sessions limited to 4 hours on the last two days of every week. However, if you find out that you don’t remember the stuff you studied at the beginning of the month quite as vividly as the things you studied, later, you’re going to have to keep revision sessions more often, maybe twice a week, each extending up to 3 hours. A good technique is to revise after completing each topic (initially), then three topics at a time, then half the portion and eventually cover all of it.
4. Will covering all chapter-wise revisions help the students?
Let’s answer this with an example. Imagine watching a cricket match. We all enjoy it and are often stuck with third-party altogether. Once the match is done, we switch off the TV and call it a day. Now, if one has to relive some of the best moments of the match tomorrow, he/she won't watch the entire match and every single ball bowled, but just the boundaries, sixes, and wickets. Similarly, revising a topic is like watching the highlights for that particular topic, which consists of every important detail. This will bolster the student's performance by making sure he remembers the little details in every topic of the mighty syllabus.
5. Can students consider their preparation complete after revising every topic?
After one has completed revising every topic, they should then move on to solving practice question papers from the previous year or even try some extra third-party sources. This gives them an understanding of the things they need to re-revise. They might also try and finish revising the whole thing again, in sets of 3-4 chapters at a time. A full preparation includes not just revision but also, regularly solving questions and keeping small details as notes for immediate retention. Having said that, completing your revision is surely the first step towards preparation for the Class 10th examinations.
