Strategy to prepare for Science in 20 days
ICSE board exam 2021 for science is already divided into three subjects Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. In Physics, you need to prepare three units viz. Force, Work, Power, and Energy, Light, and Sound.
You should prepare the ‘Sound chapter’ in the first place for your ICSE Board Exam 2021 because this single chapter has a great weightage in your exam.
After that, you need to devote a generous time to Units 1 and 2 because they have the highest weightage. Moreover, they also comprise several chapters that you can’t leave at any cost.
While preparing for Physics, you can blend it with a chapter of Chemistry or Biology so that by the end of 10 days, you are done with almost 40-50% of the syllabus.
For Chemistry, you need to prepare 6 units in total that you can check from the official website. Go for the Mole concept and Electrolysis in the first place for preparation.
No doubt, the mole concept is a big chapter, but it is very scoring as just by knowing the correct formula, you can easily solve the numerical. After that, go for Electrolysis and other small chapters.
The small chapters have a great power to boost up your entire score, and they are also easy to cover up.
But, on the other hand, for Biology, you only need to focus on two units i.e., Basic Biology and Plant Physiology.
You can devote time to these units by sparing time some days with Physics and some days with Chemistry. This will help in covering the entire syllabus in time.
Focus on English – This means both language and literature. Make it a point to turn your English into your greatest strength. As for literature, make it a point to be detailed and emphatic about the character sketches. Etch the character in your mind in whatever way suitable to you so that you are able to think up a summary for the same as and when required. Always chase the central theme, be it the plays, a short story or even for a character revolving around a particular scene. This will give you the gist to build around when composing an answer.
