How to Prepare for Social Science – Class 6 (NCERT)
1️⃣ Understand the Structure of the Subject
-
History (Our Past): Focuses on ancient history, early humans, Harappan civilisation, kingdoms, culture, and empires.
-
Geography (The Earth Our Habitat): Covers maps, landforms, oceans, continents, environment, and natural resources.
-
Civics / Political Science (Social and Political Life): Deals with democracy, government, rights, duties, and local governance.
Each part requires a different style of study — History needs timelines, Geography requires maps, and Civics needs understanding of concepts.
2️⃣ Read the NCERT Textbook Thoroughly
-
Read each chapter slowly and try to understand, not just memorise.
-
Underline or highlight key terms like “latitude,” “Harappan civilisation,” “Gram Sabha,” etc.
-
Make chapter summaries in your own words (5–6 lines per topic).
3️⃣ Prepare Notes and Charts
-
Make flowcharts, tables, and diagrams. Example: Primary → Secondary → Tertiary sectors.
-
Create timeline charts for History (e.g., Harappan, Vedic Age, Mauryan Empire).
-
Draw maps of India/world for Geography (label rivers, mountains, continents).
4️⃣ Practice Question-Answer Writing
-
Solve all NCERT in-text and end-text questions (very important for exams).
-
Practise extra questions (like the ones I have been preparing for you).
-
Write in short, clear sentences with proper word limits (30, 60, 100 words depending on question).
5️⃣ Use Memory Tricks
-
For History dates → make mnemonics (e.g., “326 BCE – Alexander came to India”).
-
For Geography → link directions and maps with real-life examples.
-
For Civics → connect with daily life (like Gram Panchayat in your village or municipality in your city).
6️⃣ Revise Regularly
-
Daily revision: 15–20 minutes after studying a chapter.
-
Weekly revision: Revise 2–3 chapters on weekends.
-
Final revision before exams: Focus only on important terms, key events, definitions, and maps.
7️⃣ Focus on Writing Skills
-
Practise writing answers within word limits (to save time in exams).
-
Use headings and points instead of long paragraphs.
-
Always include examples in answers (like AMUL for cooperatives, Indus Valley for urban planning).
8️⃣ Map Work and Diagrams
-
Practice labelling rivers, mountains, oceans, and countries.
-
Draw neat, simple maps and underline labels.
-
Geography exams often include a map-based question, so practise regularly.
9️⃣ Make it Interesting
-
Watch short educational videos on History and Geography topics.
-
Visit a museum or historical site (connects with History chapters).
-
Observe your local Panchayat/municipality (connects with Civics).
🔟 Exam-Day Tips
-
Read the question carefully (look for words like explain, list, differentiate).
-
First attempt short questions, then long ones.
-
In long answers, use intro – main points – conclusion format.
-
Always underline key terms in your answers.
-
Keep maps and diagrams neat, even if not asked (sometimes it gives extra marks).
