And last but not the least the most important thing is have faith and confidence on yourself. Don't take these exams too seriously. No, I'm not denying the fact that “boards are important", boards are definitely important but don't pressurise yourself.

Q:   How will solving CBSE 10th sample papers help me?
A: 

Students appearing for the CBSE Class 10 exams must download, solve and practice the CBSE 10th sample papers. These will make them familiar with the exam pattern, marking scheme, the types of questions asked in the exam, the difficulty level and more. CBSE will soon release the CBSE 10th sample papers on the official website

It is advised that students solve the CBSE sample paper class 10 within the stipulated time to learn time management. This will students will be able to score well in the Class 10 board examinations. 

Q:   What are subject-wise CBSE class 10 preparation tips?
A: 

In CBSE 10th class, there are basically Maths, Science, Social studies, English and one other language subject. And it is compulsory to divide (unequally) your study hours for each and every subject.

Identify your weak subjects and try to allot maximum time to them and you will start to gain benefit in just few days.

Revise the notes on a regular basis, solve their practice questions or Question banks. In case you are self preparing without any help then here are some tips

  1. Science - Take any chapter and read it thoroughly from NCERT. Just read it first time, don't try to make any notes in the first time or mark some imp. points.

Then read it just one more time and this time mark important points, formulae, reaction, definitions and make short notes of them . They will help you a lot during your exam time . You will have no time to revise the whole NCERT book during your exam time.

Now coming to the practice part, obviously first solve all the questions from your NCERT text book and then download 5 previous year papers from CBSE official site and solve them or you can just buy some book which has previous year questions. 

If you want to solve more variety of questions then download support material from edudel. CBSE releases a help book on edudel every year which contains short notes of each chapter and some good questions also.

If you face problem in numericals then prepare a separate numerical register and try to solve every numerical in your register that you come across whether it is from NCERT or from previous year or from any other book.

It is just more than enough to score 95+ marks in science. Make good notes, do previous years' papers and believe in yourself.

2. Maths : Now it need a good amount of practice from each chapter.

Again start from Ncert. Make a good base of concepts given it. And then solve questions from any reference book . You can consult maths book by Mr. M.L. Aggarwal or RD sharma. 

Then you can solve previous year papers in last one or two month for gaining confidence and managing your time.

For other subjects, start from ncert and then take additional help from previous years and support materials .

So. all the very best for the upcoming exams and may you score well!

Q:   Can I finish all preparation for the CBSE 10th examination if I start now?
A: 

You must go through the CBSE 10th syllabus. It is also necessary to know the pattern. Segregate the chapter and plan your days ahead for covering each topic thoroughly. Get all your doubts cleared by your teachers and peers. Solve CBSE sample papers to know the kind of questions that have a good chance to get repeated.

Q:   What do I need to carry on my CBSE 10th exam days?
A: 

Students must remember to carry the CBSE Class 10 admit card on all exam days along with their school I card. Without the admit card, no student will be allowed to write the exam. 

Q:   Will we get sufficient time to prepare for the CBSE 10th exams once they begin?
A: 

Yes, the board gives sufficient preparation leaves to students for the exams. Students are advised to finish the CBSE 10th syllabus, and know the exam pattern before the exams begin. They must also solve, analyse and practice the previous years question papers and CBSE 10th sample papers to be better prepared for the exams. Make notes of all important points while studying and get all the doubts cleared with your friends, teachers etc. This will ensure that you're prepared ahead of time and will help reduce the exam anxiety.
