Ans: Yes, you can definitely score above 90 in CBSE 10th Maths with the right approach and regular practice. Each and every chapter needs equal attention. Solve all the NCERT questions first and then go for sample practice papers and previous years’ question papers. Be very clear with all the concepts and techniques. Time yourself while solving papers and make notes of your mistakes. Give at least 2/3 hours daily for maths practice and you will get the best results.

Ans: CBSE 10th Maths is difficult unless the students practice enough and practice regularly. Identify the most troublesome chapters and start with them first. Solve exercises regularly. Dedicate 2/3 hours to those chapters which you find very difficult. Be clear with the concepts and learn the easiest techniques. Solve as many practice exercises and previous years’ question papers as possible. Soon, with a little hard work, you will start finding Maths your cup of tea!
