The RBSE 10th Science practical portion carries 20 marks. It evaluates students' understanding of scientific experiments, observations, and results. Students are advised to focus on the following aspects while appearing and preparing for the practicals:
Writing proper lab records.
Performing experiments listed in the syllabus properly.
Making observations and drawing conclusions.
Understanding the principles behind experiments.
Some of the useful tips have been mentioned in the following section, which students can go through while preparing for the Class 10 Science exam RBSE:
Before starting preparation, students should carefully go through the RBSE 10th Science exam syllabus chapter-wise. They should focus more on high-weightage chapters like Life Processes, Electricity, and Light.
Most of the questions are directly from the prescribed NCERT textbooks. Hence, students must read every chapter thoroughly and solve all the NCERT back exercises.
Prepare concise notes with definitions, formulas, and important reactions. Highlight the significant terms for quick revision.
Science diagrams are scoring. Students are advised to practice labelling and drawing neat diagrams, especially for Biology (e.g., Human Brain, Nephron, Eye).
Solving RBSE 10th sample papers and previous year question papers will give you an idea of the question pattern and improve your time management skills.
Students should not ignore the practical syllabus. They must understand experiments and their applications, as they carry 20 marks.
