Social Sciences a hard nut to crack

Guess which paper is giving the most jitters to Class X students of the Central Board of Secondary Education? Not mathematics, but social science, say counsellors. Apparently, students were seeking advice on how to tackle the social science paper, which is on March1.

Guess which paper is giving the most jitters to Class X students of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE)? Not mathematics, but social science, say counsellors.

Apparently, students have been making a rush for advice on how to tackle the social science paper, which will kickstart the exams on March 1. The paper involves four subjects: history, civics, geography and economics.

"As examinations near, the stress factor is going up among students, but it's the social science paper that is creating a major worry for students," said Etishree Bhati, one of the CBSE's recognised counsellors.

"I get over 60 calls daily, and most students have a problem with the subject," said Bhati, who is visiting different states to help students.
