One of the most effective ways to prepare for the Class 10 board exams is by practicing marks-wise questions. These questions are categorized based on the mark distribution set by the CBSE board and cover all the important topics from the Mathematics and Science syllabi. This pattern not only helps students revise systematically but also trains them to manage time efficiently during the examination.
1-mark questions (Objective/Very Short Answer Type)
2-mark questions (Short Answer Type I)
3-mark questions (Short Answer Type II)
4-mark or 5-mark questions (Long Answer Type)
These help build a solid understanding of how questions are framed and how answers should be written to fetch full marks.
The Class 10 Mathematics syllabus includes essential chapters such as Real Numbers, Polynomials, Quadratic Equations, Triangles, Coordinate Geometry, Trigonometry, Statistics, and more. Practicing marks-wise questions in Maths helps students:
Understand Conceptual Weightage: Identify which topics carry higher marks.
Apply Theorems Strategically: Learn how to use formulas and theorems in 2- or 3-mark answers.
Improve Speed & Accuracy: 1-mark MCQs and case-based questions test rapid thinking.
Master Word Problems: 4- or 5-mark questions are often story-based requiring analytical thinking.
These marks-wise questions ensure students are prepared for both basic and application-level problems.
Class 10 Science is divided into Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, with chapters such as Electricity, Chemical Reactions, Life Processes, Control and Coordination, Carbon and Its Compounds, and The Human Eye and the Colourful World.
Marks-wise Science questions help students:
Focus on Core Concepts: 1-mark questions test definitions and facts.
Practice Diagram-Based Answers: 2- or 3-mark questions often require labelled diagrams (especially in Biology and Physics).
Build Logical Reasoning: Questions from Physics and Chemistry in the 3- to 5-mark range require step-by-step derivations and explanations.
Cover NCERT Thoroughly: Marks-wise practice ensures every line of the textbook is studied with purpose.
Students who regularly solve such categorized questions are more confident and better equipped for board exams.
