FAQs on ICSE Previous Year Question Paper for Class 10
1. Where do I Find ICSE Board Question Papers of all Subjects for Free?

You can download them by visiting the site or from the app. The solutions to these questions are also prepared by our experts and are available on the site. You can refer to those solutions in case you’re having doubts or if you are stuck on any questions.
2. Are the Previous Year's Question Papers Helpful in Exam Preparations?
While preparing for board exams along with textbooks, previous year's questions are also important. The more questions someone practices, the better they will score in the actual exam. Memorizing all the theories is no easy task, but if you practice these questions you will get familiar with the theory and gain some experience in solving the papers. By timing the exams, you can also learn to manage your time while attempting the questions. The basic understanding of the various concepts you learn gets better with each attempt at these papers.
3. When is the right time to start solving the previous year’s question papers?
There is no definite time as to when the student must start looking at the previous year’s question papers. Everyone learns at their own pace and completes covering the syllabus at different times. However, once you are confident that you are reaching the end of your preparation and need some challenge to test yourself, give a green signal to solving previous year papers. It’s usually two months before the actual exam, sometimes also earlier than that. What you don’t want to do is ignore them for later and wait until the exams are alarmingly close.
4. How similar will this year’s paper be in comparison to the previous year’s papers?
An important thing to note is that previous year’s question papers are just a rough estimate and not a clue to guess what will be asked in the next year's paper. If theorem A was asked last year, it does NOT mean it won’t be asked this year. It also does not mean theorem B will certainly be asked. Don’t fall for such assumptions and steer away from such judgments of your own. Treat the papers as just a testing ground for your self-analysis and nothing more than that.
5. Is it necessary to ‘solve’ the papers or just going through them is enough?
Put simply, it is best if you solve the papers and not just go through their solutions. While it may be difficult to finish all of the previous year’s papers, it is advised to finish at least 4-5 sets for each subject. Anything more than that will be like giving yourself an added advantage. Also, try to solve them under timed conditions and in an environment closely emulating that of the final paper.
