Important Points For Board Examinees
Apart from the correctness of the answer, the Board also emphasizes on cleanliness and proper presentation of the answer script.
For subjects like Mathematics and Science (which are considered to be toughest, but are infact the most mark scoring subjects), students should especially take care of their handwriting; spacing between the numbers and the words is very important. Diagrams and figures must be practiced properly. A messy diagram/ figure with improper labelling may cause a loss of few marks.
The flow of the answer is also an important factor; irrespective of the subject presentation of the answer is very much important to get marks. Even if the question carries one mark, try to give the minimum basic information about the one word answer.
Proper spacing should be given between two answers.
If you are answering randomly (or even in the sequence as given in the question paper) do not forget to mark the question number and the sub category question number, so that it is easy for the examiner to find the question and assign it the right marks.
