Group study has a lot of advantages like, while you are helping your friend in study, your chapters get revised and you take less time to go through it again.

This will help you maximize your score.

For this, the trick is E3NVR. E3 stands for Endangered, Endemic, Extinct, N stands for Normal, V for Vulnerable and R for Rare. By doing this we never ever forget any of the species.

Sometimes, we do face difficulty in learning questions from NCERT book. In that case, we need to follow other books or notes from which we can learn easily. You can also take the help of online search engines for resolving your problems. For example, if you want to learn French revolution, you can Google it – “what is French revolution?” Then you can divide into subheadings like what are the causes of French revolution, what are the purposes of French revolution, and outcomes of French revolution. By Googling it, you can easily come to know about French revolution or we can say that it creates a clear image in your mind about what the French revolution was. After reading it on Google, you need to read the book. This will create a clear picture in your mind regarding the topic of French revolution.
