Tips For MATHEMATICS:-
Practice as much as you can
It doesn't matter your skill or present thesis. Politics as a whole involves many processes and relationships that no one person can fully comprehend. But don't give up! As a developing political scientist, you should read obscure economic books and political theorists. It pays to question these writings to gain information. Not even a private blog or notebook will do. Making time to broaden your horizons will aid you in your main concentration. Others' theories can often impact those who come after them. The same is true for political thought. It won't be wasted.
Start by solving examples
Don't start with complex issues. Doing challenging math problems after reading the chapter will just discourage you. It may even make you despise Math. Start simply. Solve the textbook examples. Don't check up the answer beforehand. Compare your solution to the textbook solution or the reference book. Examine all of your steps, not just the major answer. After you master the steps, you can go on to the easier difficulties. Then you can go on to the harder ones.
Clear all your doubts
It's easy to become trapped in Math. Don't allow doubts fester, have them cleared up right away. The faster you clear your doubts, the faster you improve. Ask your teacher, friends, or an app.
Note down all formulae
You remember things even if they are unconscious when you see them enough. That's why some people choose to pin schematics or formulas to their walls. Make flash cards of all the equations in your textbook and hang them up in your room until the exam!
Understand the derivation
You could believe the derivation isn't important for the exam, but it is. You need to grasp the rationale behind a formula to memorise it. Instead of memorising the formula, you need to understand why speed is a function of distance and time. Routine learning may cause exam forgetfulness, but clear concepts are usually easy to recall.
