Guidance on CBSE Math Improvement Exam for Class 12

With the introduction of practical exams for Class 12 Math starting from 2020, many students and their parents might be feeling anxious about whether they need to appear for these additional exams. This article aims to demystify the process and provide clear guidance on what you need to do for your CBSE math improvement exam.

Do You Have to Appear for Practical Exams?

No, you do not have to appear for any practical exams if you are planning to take your CBSE math improvement exam in 2020. Since the practical aspect was introduced this year for the first time, your batch did not have this requirement before. Therefore, you only need to focus on the theory portion of the exam.

Preparing for the Theory Exam

Due to the lack of clarity from CBSE regarding the exact format of internal assessment, it is advised to concentrate on preparing for the theory section. Your syllabus for the math improvement exam will remain the same as before the introduction of practicals. Focus on the following:

Theory Books: Follow the prescribed NCERT books meticulously for comprehensive coverage of the syllabus. Practice Books: Purchase and study from additional math practical books available in the market. These books will help you with problem-solving and practical aspects that might appear in the theory exam. Regular Revision: Regularly revisit and revise your notes and solve previous year papers to strengthen your understanding and recall. Consult Your Teacher: Regular consultations with your subject teacher can provide valuable insights and tips to excel in the exam.

No Need to Retake Practical Exams

There is no need to join your school again to appear for practical exams. The school where the practical exams will be held will be indicated on your admit card. This means that you can continue your studies at your regular school while preparing for the practical exams.

Assurance Regarding Internal 20 Marks

CBSE has not yet decided the exact format of internal assessment for improvement exams. However, it is most likely that the internal 20 marks will be awarded through a form of viva-voce (oral examination) conducted by CBSE for improvement students. This viva-voce process will ensure that you can still secure your internal marks without appearing for a separate practical exam.

Conclusion

Remember, the key to success in your CBSE math improvement exam in 2020 is to relax, study hard, and focus on the theory portion. The practical component is not for you, and you will not be required to appear for these exams.

Wishing you the best of luck!
