Struggling with Science or Maths in Class 10? You're not alone — but the solution is simpler than you think. You don’t need more textbooks or tuition. You just need to use Previous Year Questions (PYQs) smartly.
Here’s a practical strategy to improve your marks using just PYQs — no beating around the bush.
- 60–80% of board exam questions follow past trends. - They show you what to expect — and what to ignore. - You learn the question pattern, marking scheme, and key concepts at once.
Take the last 5–10 years of board papers and: - Highlight questions that appear more than once. - Focus on topics with high repetition — these are your goldmines.
You can start practicing right now from our top collection of PYQs chapter-wise.
Don’t study everything. Create 3 categories: - Very Important – Frequently asked (must-master) - Important – Asked sometimes (try to cover) - Not Urgent – Rarely asked (can skip if no time)
This way, you study smart and save time.
Just reading PYQs isn’t enough. Do this instead: - Solve them on paper, just like the actual exam. - Check against official marking schemes or topper answers. - Time yourself — practice speed + accuracy.
The more you will practice them the more quicker you will become in cracking and solving each question. Also you will gain more confidence.
Don’t read from scratch every time. Do: - Weekly revision of your most common PYQs. - Make a cheat sheet of formulas, definitions, diagrams. - Also practice the topics which seems easy — don't avoid them.
Once a week, do a PYQ mock test: - Pick questions randomly from the last 5 years. - Solve them without looking at notes. - Analyze your mistakes and re-learn that topic.
This builds real exam confidence.
