Hindi A
What is the ideal length of an answer to the questions asked in the paper?
Each question has marks allotted to it mentioned alongside. Structure your answer, length and content, accordingly.

The question paper is too long and I cannot complete it.
Time management has to be practiced. Allocate equal amounts of time to each question. Also, never leave a question unanswered. Attempt all questions. One can then expect to score well. Grammar is a high-scoring section, though languages usually do not get perfect scores.

What points should be kept in mind while answering the question paper?
A good handwriting with no spelling error will always impress the examiner. Pay special attention to spellings, as any mistake will mean deduction of marks. Answers should be structured in paragraphs. Be careful of punctuation marks - use them correctly.

How can one prepare and write a high scoring essay?
Essay writing has become quite simple. The question itself includes hints for the topic. Elaborate on each point and break the essay into paragraphs. Keep the word count in mind. Do not write too little or too much. Use suitable quotations to support your point. Use of noun (gender, number), pronoun, adjective, verb, adverb, preposition should be clearly identified. The beginning and the conclusion of an essay can create a deep impact on the examiner. Try and give an effective introduction and an equally emphatic ending. Avoid repetition.
The best way to study any language is to build on your vocabulary. Make a word bank that will help you express your views in the best manner possible. Also, give equal importance to Hindi along with other subjects.

Hindi B
Students often find questions related to grammar and poetry difficult to answer. But they should also remember that to score high in Hindi, it is a must to score the maximum and the highest in the grammar section. And remember, that grammar cannot be memorised but needs to be understood and practised incessantly.
Practise the art of letter writing, keeping the format in mind, which is different for formal and informal letters. Do not forget the three properties of a scoring letter - clarity, precision and modesty. The letter should conform to the subject matter and irrelevant information should be avoided. In Letters to the Editor, since the first three lines and the last two lines are always the same, memorise them well. The format in which the letter is presented makes a lot of difference in the marks scored.

While studying poetry, a lot of practise is required. Students should start their preparation by understanding the relatively simpler questions of poetry and then graduate on to the more difficult ones.
There will be at least four to five options in essay writing, which will have hints in the topic itself. Choose the one which you are most confident of. Wherever feasible, use quotations, as these add more substance to the essay.
Writing and studying is one of the most effective ways of studying the language. Students should also answer previous years' question papers along with the sample papers provided by the Central Board of Secondary Education. Remember to revise all the lessons at least two to three times right after being taught in Class so that you are thorough with the subject.
The same question can be asked in a different manner. So, do not panic if you see a question which you cannot recall. Rather, try and understand the meaning of the question and then answer accordingly.
