Mathematics
Class 10 Mathematics includes Geometry, Trigonometry, and the concept of numbers. This needs to be practiced.
The formulas are very important and consume quite a lot of time. But it’s not easy that one can learn in a day. The best way to remember them is to note all the important questions, formulas and read them every day once or twice. This will help you to remember and you will not forget as you are going through them every day.

Then you can prioritize the chapters according to which the time has to be devoted for each section.
Make a note of important dates which have to be remembered. Use flashcards and highlight the dates or the important events. All the answers would be quite long. It is not a correct method to memorize and write. Try to understand and fill in with your sentences. This way you can remember for a long time.
Science
All three subjects are to be focussed systematically.
Physics has to be learned with logical thinking and understanding the concepts of the chapter. The problems have to be practised every day and formulas have to be noted down and read every day.

Hindi
The method of studying is the same as English. Reading and writing should be given importance. You can do well in languages only when you can write answers in a grammatically correct manner.
