Study Strategy for 90+

1

Physical Education has structured NCERT-based answers — every question has a defined expected response, memorise key definitions

2

Unit 1 (Management of Events) and Unit 3 (Yoga) are highest-scoring and most predictable — master these first

3

Tournaments: draw the fixture table for knock-out (8 and 16 teams) and round-robin on paper — this appears every year

4

Yoga: memorise at least 3 asanas for each disease (obesity, diabetes, hypertension, back pain) with their specific benefits

5

Units 8–10 (Biomechanics, Psychology, Training) are newer additions — do not skip them

6

Physical Education practicals (30 marks) are skill-based but knowing theory improves viva performance significantly
