Secondary Mathematics is a popular subject for students in school year 12. If you’re committed to doing well, you can reasonably expect to achieve at least a score of 90 in the Mathematics exam in year 12. Students can create their own success through systematic study of Mathematics and detailed knowledge of Mathematical concepts (within the context of systematic study) by developing strategies for learning (systematic versus trial and error), building confidence through a successful study plan and developing a successful method to learn the material.
The Madhya Pradesh Board of Secondary Education (MPBSE) will be administering the Class 12 Mathematics Exam on February 25, 2026, at 9 a.m.. Knowing the date and time of the Class 12 Mathematics Exam provides students with the opportunity to create a disciplined, successful study plan to properly prepare for the exam.
Start With the Building Blocks (Strengthen Basics First)
Maths is like a staircase—each concept supports the next. Strengthen basics of Relations, Functions, Algebra, Limits, and Vectors early. When the foundation is strong, solving complex questions becomes much easier.
MP Board Mathematics follows NCERT almost completely. Solve all examples and exercises without skipping anything. Every tricky pattern in the board exam is already covered in NCERT.
Formulas are the backbone of Mathematics. Maintain a Formula Notebook and revise it daily.
Include formulas from:
Quick formula recall during the exam saves precious minutes.
Previous Year Questions (PYQs) reveal the most repeated patterns. Solve at least 5–7 years of PYQs before the exam. Solving them helps in understanding:
Instead of solving random problems, solve:
This boosts speed, accuracy, and confidence.
Calculus carries the highest weightage in the paper. Practice differentiation, integration, application of derivatives, and area under the curve repeatedly. A strong grip on Calculus ensures excellent scoring potential.
Train Your Brain With Mixed Practice
Once you finish a chapter, mix questions from other units to improve flexibility. This reduces exam-time confusion and builds complete confidence.
Most marks are lost due to minor errors:
Write steps clearly and double-check answers, especially in long questions.
Once per week, it is advisable to dedicate time on a Sunday for revision; this may include reviewing mathematical formulas, important questions, and NCERT examples. Performing this sort of revision once a week will increase your retention capabilities.
You can achieve full scores on the Graphs for LPP and Graphs for Coordinate Geometry as well as Calculus by properly using the graphs as part of your Mathematics Exam.
Allocating 3 hours correctly is only possible with proper time management; the allocation of time depends on the types of questions to be tackled. If you stick to this type of allocation, you will be able to finish answering all questions during the allotted time.
