How to prepare and score Good marks in Computer Science Paper?

The importance of Computer Science in this world of advancing technology, is not unknown. Good command of the subject gives you an edge over your competitors. It also opens up a lot of job opportunities in the IT Sector. Even in your graduation, the subject plays a supportive role in understanding the concepts. It is therefore very important for aspiring students like you to gain command of the subject. Scoring a 100 in the subject in boards is very easy. You need to work hard and practice well.

  1. Prepare a good Timetable – Get yourself an ample amount of sleep. You should sleep for at least 8 hours a day to keep yourself fresh and active. A minimum of 4 hours of study in a day is sufficient to score well in the subject. Proper sleep and a good diet will increase your concentration power. Make your timetable in a way that you complete the harder and boring chapters first. This will keep you stress free and you can prepare well for board exams.
  2. Keep a reference material at hand (CBSE Study Material/CBSE Study Notes) – With maximum accuracy and least scope for errors, these CBSE Study Material/CBSE Study Notes are the best available option for reference. You can also find Toppers’ notes online, available for free. Similar to the CBSE materials, Topper’s notes are also a good source of reference.
  3. Solve the CBSE previous years’ question paper – To test your preparation, you should solve the CBSE previous years’ question paper. On analyzing your answers, you will be able to identify the chapters where you need to give special attention and hence help you to frame good answers for the exam.
  4. Try online test series class 12th – After you are done solving the previous years’ papers, you can try these class 12th practice tests. These online test series class 12th in Computer science will help in enhancing your skills by giving you ample amount of programs to practice. The pattern of questions asked in these class 12th practice tests strengthen your concepts and analytical thinking.
