My Mid term maths paper cooked me. (read body)
So I just came back from my school mid term exam and....... well it cooked me (or maybe not, you'll see ahead) and this is my paper
Corrections - in Q3, the correction is
Q3. A tangent PQ at P of a circle of radius 5 cm meets through the center O at a point Q, so that OQ = 12 cm. Find PQ.
And in some questions '°' is misprinted as '0'
Sooooooooo........ I got this paper today, 80 marks, mid term class 10th CBSE, and I know this is damn easy, but I got cooked coz of a few very silly mistakes
firstly I got in total 5 MCQs wrong, mainly because I didn't have enough time ( I started writing from Section E) Q1, Q10, Q11, Q13, Q15
Section B
Q23
Idk how i got the easiest question wrong ( I solved it by adding and subtracting both the equation, but somehow got a different answer than what I checked in the answer key and GPT)
Section C
Q27 (1st option)
(I successful calculated the area of the circle, but when I went on to calculate the price, I did not notice the "50 per M^2) and multiplied with the area which was in cm^2
Section D
Q32
I did the worst mistake I could do, I calculated the volume correctly, anddddddddddddd....... forgot to calculate the mass, I had a lot of time left and could have done it, but FORGOT!!!??
Q33
I could not remember a³-b³ identity correctly so couldn't prove it
Q35 (2nd option)
Did not calculate the ΣFiXi correctly (got it correct the first time and did it again and got it wrong but used it in the mean formula instead)
Section E
According to me no mistakes are there in Section E
this results in my expectation to be around 63-65 marks
Idk can anyone analyze my mistake and give me some advice to avoid such silly mistakes.
I Am really sad with these silly mistakes, usually I get low on time but this time it was silly mistakes. Please Help me guys, gimme a checklist or something to perform after and before each question to not miss details, PLEASE😭
