Most students pay maximum attention to core subjects like science, math, social studies. Many students miss out on giving enough time for preparing on the languages. But nonetheless, if you want your total score to be high, it goes unsaid that languages are a great deal too! They matter as much as your core subjects do. So you’ll only be making a fool out of yourself if you don’t pay attention to language subjects. Speaking of language subjects, scoring good marks in English is a hard nut to crack for many students and here’s a blog on top scoring techniques for your CBSE class 9 English. Hang in tight there.
1) Understand the summary of all the poems
English is a subject consisting of both prose and poem writings. Try to understand the summary of all the poems before you try answering the questions. Understanding what the poet is trying to convey is most important. And of course, read the poem thoroughly. Don’t try to mug up the summary without understanding the basic essence of it.
2) Don’t neglect the questions asked after each chapter
Where most students go wrong while preparing for CBSE class 9 English exams is that they assume they can answer all the questions just by understanding or reading the lesson once. Let me tell you that scoring good marks in English is way more than that. Your linguistic brilliance is put to test here and your vocabulary alongside the comprehension of the chapter matters!

3) Paragraph writings must have a order of flow
Scoring good marks in paragraph writing section is not about writing long paragraphs with lengthy sentences. You must divide the flow of your ideas and write it in many small paragraphs. Connect the story well and draw current day relevance wherever possible to fetch more marks.
4) Punctuation counts!
English is a language at the end of the day, rather than a mere subject to be studied. You can’t expect to score well if you mess up with your punctuations in your answer paper. Your grammar skills are put to test here and so good hold on grammar is most important.
5) Keep your answers precise and to the point
It is a myth that scoring in languages is an easy job for those who can write pages together. Pages together of unnecessary topics are no good than no answer at all. Keep your answers relevant, precise and to the point. Writing lengthy stories is not expected from you. Learn to answer to the point with clarity.
