Analysis of CBSE Class 10 Syllabus 2024-25
Yes, you read that right. The syllabus that the Central Board Of Secondary Education releases each year can be your key to success in the exams. This is the most important yet the most frequently missed step. Often the students of class 10th, in the excitement and zeal of the examination just commence with their preparation. They are not aware of the weightage of each chapter or even if the topic that they are studying is still included in the syllabus.
It is crucial for the students to stay updated with all the developments in their syllabus by the boards. It is quite essential to analyze the syllabus first and then begin with the preparation.
What is Syllabus Analysis?
Syllabus Analysis includes:
- Primarily making a list of all the topics and subtopics that are included in the syllabus. Make sure that you have struck off all the unnecessary topics and subtopics as well so that you do not waste your time preparing things that won’t count.
- Then, take note of the weightage of each chapter and the most asked topic from each chapter. This is to ensure that during revision you can revise the most important topics first. You can also make more efforts in the conceptual understanding that are more important with respect to the examination.
- This will help you in further planning and organizing your study sessions and dividing the preparation time for each subject accordingly.
