CBSE Class 10th Preparation Tips for English

A good preparation strategy is the first step towards success. Hence, students should bear a few things in mind before making the study schedule. Follow the given CBSE board exam preparation tips for English to increase your productivity in the examination-

Make reading your habit- Reading more will help you to understand the use of the English language in a better way. The more you read, the better will be your fluency in reading and writing. Reading is also fuel to your thoughts. Hence, instead of converting your thoughts in English, start thinking in English. This also helps in increasing your writing skills.

Write regularly- Without writing your thoughts, it would be hard to know whether it is right or not. Most of the time people think correctly while writing their thoughts, they mess up the English grammar.

Focus of Tenses- Students usually face problems while using the proper tenses. This can only be resolved through regular practice. Students should regularly solve previous years’ CBSE Class 10 Question papers to check the pattern and type of questions asked in the board examination.

Get Experts Advice- To get instant help, students try to take online help rather than contacting their teachers or experts. It is suggested to avoid reading online articles as they are not helpful. Sometimes online writers only write content to provide information rather than focus on grammatical issues. Hence, read only the best Class 10 English books or reference books.
