Suggestions for ICSE Physics – Advice from the Council

Below mentioned are few of the important piece of advice shared by the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations for students appearing for their ICSE Physics – Science Paper 1 examination. I hope the students find this beneficial.

Suggestions for students:

1. Use the reading time of 15 minutes judiciously to make a proper choice of questions from section II by reading the requirements of the question carefully supported with a high level of concentration.
2. Avoid writing answers which are simply a repetition of the question. Instead be specific about the key word in that statement.
3. Students must not leave any topic for option. All topics are covered in section I which is compulsory.
4. Avoid changing the order of sequence of questions and numbering system.
5. Handwriting should be neat and legible.
6. Learn the principles, laws and definitions accurately.
7. Ray diagrams and the other diagrams need to be practiced periodically.
8. While writing answers it not only important to cover all relevant points but to present them in a proper sequence.
9. While solving a numerical it is advisable that the formula needs to be written in the beginning. Essential steps need to be shown and final answer needs to be expressed along with a proper unit. Avoid computation at the first step; let it be plain substitution as the marks are awarded for correct substitution.
10. Be regular in your study habits. Complete your syllabus well in time. A thorough revision of all topics is all time important.
11. It is advisable to solve previous year’s papers in writing.
12. More emphasis should be given on writing rather than on memorising.
13. For speed in mathematical calculations; it is advisable to learn tables up to 30, know squares up to 30, cubes up to 15 and basics of fractions and decimal.
14. It is better to inculcate the habit of underlining the important points or key words in the answer.
