CBSE Class X Board Examination 2019-20: Social Science; how to prepare and score well; tips & tricks

The combination of various subjects and topics in ‘Social Science’ provides students a comprehensive view of society over space and time, and in relation to each other. However, attempting the examination for all the four major subjects with their sub-topics can be daunting.
Letting go off their fear, students must get rid of myths about social science and attempt the subject as a learning of their surroundings.
Guiding on how students can learn the various subjects for board examinations, Social Science teacher Manpreet Saluja suggested the following strategy:
Subjects included in Social Science
Social Science curriculum draws its content mainly from History, Geography, Political Science and Economics. Some elements of Sociology and Commerce are also included.
Examination pattern for Social Science
MCQs (multiple choice questions): 20 questions of 1 mark each=20
Short answer type questions: 8 questions of 3 marks each =24
Long answer type questions: 6 questions of 5 marks each =30
Map work: 2 questions of 3 marks each = 6
Total marks of theoretical examination = 80
Handling MCQs means learning details
Board Exams are the decisive factor for the most of future endeavour. The students pursuing for class X board examination this year have to face a great challenge because of the changed pattern of question paper.
It can be challenging for students to score in social science examination if their trick is to cram up answers. The changed board pattern with 20 marks objective (assertion/reason, picture reading, MCQs correct the statement, etc.) makes it essential for students to be meticulous with dates, pictures and names.
Preparation Strategy to score well
·         Thorough reading of chapters would help you gain confidence on the subject. Keep underling facts and figures while reading. 
·         Whenever you go through a chapter, prepare short notes at the corner of the same, so that it would be a great source for you at the time of revision.
·         Only cramming the content would not solve the purpose; understanding of the concept is very important to solve questions.
·         Identify difficult topics and try doing them first, for learning dates and events in history you can make mnemonics and for learning places in geography acronyms can be made.
Important Topics and Chapters
·         Nationalism in India
·         Decentralisation
·         Money and Credit
·         Globalisation
·         Lifelines of National Economy
·         Manufacturing Industries
Revising for examination
·         Plan your revision carefully, start your revision with history as it is more lengthy and will take more time next you can plan to revise democratic politics.
·         Geography requires more understanding than role as it will increase your overall score even if you don’t know the exact answer for a particular question related to conservation of resources of lifelines of Indian Economy.
·         Economics should to be done at the end as it has least number of chapters.
·         Once you are done with everything starts solving sample papers which are available on CBSE website.
·         Practice map skills on daily basis mark 5 places everyday and learn by the end it would be done before the exams.
