ISC Class 12 History
History as the name suggests is the study of the significant events and personalities of the past in a sequence and context. History enables students to develop their capacity to find facts and evaluate evidence and to discuss issues from a historical point of view. History provides a store house of information of how people and societies have developed through years and understanding their operations, formulation of laws and theories on human behavior depending on historical information, etc. History helps us understand the existence of problems and pertinence of evidence of explanations. It stimulates a sense of historical continuity. Due to the diverse uses of history in not only social sciences but even pure sciences make history a very interesting subject.
Gone were the days when students used to score very good marks in History just by rote learning. Introduction of evidence/ reasoning-based questions makes it difficult for the students to score good marks and hence students must follow the below mentioned tips.
They should read and understand the chapters thoroughly minimum five to six times.
They should make side notes so that they can immediately remember the points.
They should learn all the important points.
They should practice previous year History question papers and sample papers once the course is completed.
Evidence based questions not only require clarity of concepts by students but also require them to already know the types of questions expected, topics asked and how to answer them. A student can know this by solving Previous year Board Exam Question papers or sample papers. We at TestPaperz provide students Previous year board Question papers, sample papers and school prelim question papers which are free to download. Click below to download:
