Tips to Solve Case Study Questions for Class 10  Board Exams

Students can easily score marks in these case based questions. They only need to have a conceptual understanding of the topic and a thorough knowledge of the subject. Here, we have provided some tips, which will help students in answering the case study questions.

1) Students need to read the passage or comprehension thoroughly from beginning to the end. Then, they should go through questions which are based on the passage.

2) After reading the questions, students should try to identify what the examiner is expecting in the answer.

3) Sometimes, the question is tricky and difficult to understand. So, in that case, students should read the passage and question again.

4) After understanding the question, students should check out the options, and only then should they write their answer.
