Practical work, map work, revision chapters, grammar and writing skills.

7. Why is the second mid-term portion often concept-heavy?

By then the year is more than half over, so new chapters in Maths and Science tend to be concept-dense.

Show the answer

Make a subject-wise table with columns: chapter, difficulty (easy/medium/hard), and planned date.

The last 3–4 days.

You may waste time on chapters not in the exam.

Ask the teacher instead of guessing.
