Herein, we share a few tips from industry experts on how to maximise your preparation during the last few days to score your level best in Math. Keep following the myPAT blog for more insights. Preparing for Boards during the last days: Chemistry - myPAT. Chemistry is a very important subject in the science stream. Just like Physics, the subject is highly important for all the students as its score is considered in all admissions. Chemistry is known to be an easy scoring subject as compared to other subjects both in board exams as well as competitive tests. However, chemistry requires memorization beyond conceptual clarity. Just like any other Science subject, Chemistry also needs thorough conceptual understanding and continual practice throughout the lectures.
However, be aware that you cannot master Chemistry in a few days but the time can easily help you to gain or lose 20 marks if used or wasted. Important topics: As mentioned, board exam in comparison to competitive exams are highly predictable and the student can easily identify the key topics.

Rote Learning, or in simpler words cramming, is the addition of memory which is done through the process of reiteration and repeated attempts. Remember the last time when you memorised your mobile number which has no logic to it but you are required to remember it. This exactly exemplifies rote learning and its significance. Wherein the rules are universal, there is no significance, the only way to imbibe that is to condition your brain to cram it by repeatedly practice. Cramming is an inseparable aspect of learning and education. To better understand, ‘Sun rises in the east and sets in the west’ is a key fact for a child to memorise.
In our country where examination has become an norm, the intent of the examiners is to discourage cramming. In view of the high competition, the test-preparation industry in India has a size no less than core education. Experiential learning is an alternative that has been proposed by many educationists.
