• Biotechnology is a content-based subject hence new terms have to be familiarized with and memorized. You can make flash cards with definitions of the new terms that you learn each day and use them while traveling, during your lunch break or even 5 minutes before your dinner break.
• Try to write the definitions in your own language without altering its meaning.
• Follow your NCERT textbook and when the concept has been fully understood, browse through your school notes and test papers that you have taken.
• Ensure that you pay attention in lab sessions and actually perform the experiments.
• Make notes, highlight, and if you don’t mind making notes in your book, then you can even summarize the page in the margins.
• Take note of the common questions that have been asked and observe how the question should be answered.
• After you finish your syllabus, revise as many times as possible. When you finish, do take the sample papers provided by CBSE in a timed environment.

Take as many practice tests as possible.
