Solve the official sample paper of each subject first. Then solve previous year papers. Sit for 3 hours each time and check your answers with the marking scheme.

The theory paper of main subjects like Science, Maths Standard, Social Science and English Language and Literature carries 80 marks. Each paper is 3 hours long.

No. CBSE has said there is no change in the question paper design and assessment pattern for 2026-27. The official sample papers carry this note.

No. The second exam in May is optional. Only the first exam in February is compulsory. Students can use the May exam to improve marks in up to three subjects.

On school days, four to five focused hours are enough for most students. On holidays, add one full 3-hour paper. Regular study matters more than long hours.
