4) Stick to NCERT textbook. Do all questions without leaving anything. Give importance to example problems in NCERT.

5) Make quick notes on important formulas especially from 3- Dimensional Geometry and integrals on your diary so that you can revise them easily.

6) Calculus carries 35 marks. This means you must focus on this unit the most. Calculus needs a lot of logical approaches which can be mastered only with rigorous practice.

7) Vectors and 3-Dimensional Geometry carry 14 marks are easy units. Make sure to make diagrams as you study and practice as it helps in better visualization.

8) Algebra and Probability are easy units too and hence should not take much effort to understand. However, both require a lot of practice to understand the application of knowledge and formulas. Probability especially requires a logical approach and hence, the basics must be clear for this unit.

9) Relations and Functions, and Linear Programm​​ing are relatively easy and scoring chapters.
