Class 10: two board exams
Since 2026, Class 10 students take the main board exam in February–March and can take a second, optional exam in May to improve their scores. Check the rules for your subjects on cbse.gov.in and with your school.
How to use the weeks left
- Write full papers under time. Use CBSE's sample question papers and past papers, three hours, no breaks.
- Check every paper against the marking scheme. Marks are given for steps and key points, not just the final answer.
- Fix the gaps, not the strengths. Spend most of your time on the chapters and question types where marks are lost.
- Repeat every week until the exam, and track how the score moves.
