Scoring above 90% in the Karnataka SSLC (10th Standard) Board exams is not a dream — it’s a smartly planned goal. Every year, thousands of students aim for that magical score, but only those with the right approach, consistency, and resources achieve it.

At 9WayPublications, we work closely with students, educators, and exam patterns to develop effective study tools. In this blog, we’ll walk you through 7 actionable strategies that can help you crack the SSLC exams with flying colors.

 

1. Know Your Syllabus Inside-Out

Before you open a book or start solving past papers, master the syllabus. The Karnataka State Board SSLC syllabus is well-structured — every chapter carries a specific weightage.
Download the official blueprint and mark important chapters in each subject.

Pro Tip:
Use 9Way’s question banks to see how many questions have appeared from each chapter over the past 5 years.

 

2. Create a Realistic Study Schedule

A high score doesn’t require long hours — it needs smart time blocks.

Divide your day into 4 parts:

• Morning: Concepts and theory reading

• Afternoon: Solving previous year questions

• Evening: Revision of weak subjects

• Night: Light reading or video-based learning

Make sure to give yourself regular breaks and never underestimate the power of 15-minute review sessions.

 

3. Solve Question Banks & Sample Papers

This is where 90% scorers separate themselves from the rest.
Don’t just study — practice what you’ve learned.

9WayPublications offers chapter-wise question banks that include:

• Textbook Q&A

• Additional practice questions

• 5-year solved board papers

• Model test papers

• Mark-wise answers for precision

Practicing these gives you not just knowledge but also confidence and speed.

 

4. Focus on Understanding, Not Rote Learning

Gone are the days of mugging up everything. The SSLC question paper now tests your application and understanding.

Especially in subjects like Science and Social:

• Use real-life examples

• Visualize concepts with charts/diagrams

• Break down complex topics into bite-sized pieces

Bonus Tip: Create your own mind maps after reading a chapter. This improves long-term memory retention.

 

5. Track Your Progress Every Week

Most students study blindly without evaluating their performance.
Instead, make it a habit to track:

• Chapters completed

• Questions attempted

• Marks scored in each mock test

• Errors made repeatedly

Keep a dedicated notebook for this. At 9WayPublications, our books include self-assessment trackers that make this easier.

 

6. Clarify Doubts Immediately

Leaving a doubt unresolved can cost you multiple marks in exams.

• Talk to your teacher

• Use YouTube channels or online resources

• Study in a small group where you can discuss questions

And most importantly — revisit that topic after 2 days. Doubt resolution + spaced repetition = retention mastery.

 

7. Take Care of Your Health & Mind

This is the most ignored yet most powerful tip.

• Eat a balanced diet rich in proteins and brain-boosting foods

• Sleep 7–8 hours daily — no compromises

• Exercise or walk at least 20 minutes a day

• Practice deep breathing or meditation during study breaks

A calm mind recalls better and performs sharper in exam conditions.
