Make sure that before going towards the solution of the problem you read and understand it thoroughly. If you find the question to be complicated, read it again and again and try to understand it.
2. Clarify your Concepts
Pay attention in your math classes and listen to all the lectures carefully. Ask as many questions as you can to clear all your doubts. Asking a lot of questions often helps in making your concepts strong.
3. Practice as much as you can
The old proverb is right, “Practice makes a man perfect”. Maths cannot be mastered without practice. You must roll up your sleeves and solve problems given at the end of each chapter.
4. Work the easiest First
Answer the easier problems first and then work towards the more difficult ones. Take your time and skip over a problem when you get stuck and go back to it once again when everything is done.
5. Draw Diagrams
Try to make the problems simple by drawing diagrams. This will help you in understanding the question and give you an idea about how to solve it.
