Hi;
Yes, I have read that.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.

Hi; that's great. But unfortunately, I do not understand what you mean by CGPA and A1. I though marking was out of 500.

CBSE has actually changed itself a lot
CGPA means Cumulative Grade Point Average. A1 is a grade
