Reading Section

If a student has been reading newspaper or is a book lover, then he/she can score good marks in this section. It tests comprehension ability and the questions are based on a passage. To score good marks here, one should practice 2-3 passages daily.

Writing and Grammar

One should practice letters, essays, notices, poster making, articles, etc, for this section. Besides, students should refer to previous years’ question papers and model test papers. On the grammar side, one should focus on usage of tenses, active passive, direct and indirect speech, etc. Apart from this, students should practice fill in the blanks, editing and rearrangement of sentences from sample papers.

Literature section

Remember the gist of poems and stories given in the syllabus for this part of the English paper. Question papers from the previous years could be of great help too.

Stick to syllabus

Don’t waste too much time reading unnecessary stuff. Before starting preparation for CBSE class 10 English exam, thoroughly read the syllabus and proceed according to that.

Time bound approach

Set the timer and try to solve model test papers in stipulated time. Time management during this exam plays a vital role.

Generally, students invest too much time in first two sections and are left with little time for the literature section.
