Only a few days left. Spent a lot of time going through every CBSE Class 10 board paper from 2013 to 2024. Here's what actually repeats:
Maths
- Real Numbers (irrationality proofs) — appears almost every year
- Arithmetic Progressions — guaranteed 3–5 marks
- Triangles (similarity + proofs) — never missed a year
- Coordinate Geometry — consistent
- Probability — always there, usually easy marks
Science
- Ohm's Law + resistance numericals — every single year
- Carbon compounds (ethanol/ethanoic acid) — very high frequency
- Heredity (Mendel's laws) — almost always
- Light (mirror/lens formula numericals) — never skipped
- Life processes (diagrams) — consistent
Most students waste time on chapters that barely appear. These are where the marks actually are.
Built 4 sets of the most important questions with answers written exactly as per the CBSE marking scheme — write it exactly as shown, get full marks.

Happy to answer any questions about the paper pattern.
