In Earlier classes, mathematics was only about addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. As students move to senior classes the level of difficulty of math increases. It introduces integers, algebra, geometry, etc. Though the Class 7 math syllabus is difficult and vast from class 6, it is of basic level.

Students often find math a scary subject but there is nothing like that if you practice math every day. Putting only 2 hours every day in math can help score very good marks. Class 7 math is not very hard so there is nothing to worry about if students will understand the concept properly in class it is enough. The self-study is sufficient for students of class 7.

Tips to prepare for exams

Some tips students can follow to prepare for exams and score good grades:

Be Regular 

Consistency and hard work is the key that leads one to the path of success. Students should practice math regularly. They should prepare a timetable and follow it. They should set small goals that they will complete several topics in a week. They should distribute their time among all the subjects as other subjects are equally important.

Complete NCERT

Students should complete full-fledged NCERT before they start with another book. NCERT clears the basics. One should practice all the questions and examples from it as it consists of some important questions. When teachers form question papers they also recommend NCERT books.

Start with basics.

One should always start with basics then they should try to solve difficult questions. Math will become easy if one’s base will be strong. Start with easy chapters and then move to difficult ones.

Practice all types of questions 

Practice both easy and difficult questions from the same topic. Students generally ignore the easy question but they too are important as they can come in one marker. 

Practice Sample papers

Practice sample paper as much as possible to test your knowledge. Sample paper assessment tests.  students can test their preparation through sample papers. One gets to know where they are lacking. By practising sample papers one can manage time efficiently. Also, practising sample papers from now will prepare them more for higher classes. Solving sample papers will boost students’ confidence. 

Revision 

Revise formulas and theorems daily as it contains marks. If one mentions formulas in an exam they can score better marks. In the exam, write the formula and every step. To revise formulas one can note all the formulas on a separate paper revise them once a week which will help in memorizing them. 

Read the question paper carefully 

Most of the time in mathematics exams students don’t read the question paper carefully and end up writing the wrong method or wrong digits. So, read the question paper carefully before attempting it.

Ask doubts

Students should ask doubts wherever they are facing problems. They should make a separate register for doubts and clear them with their teachers.
