Hindi Mock Paper-1 for ICSE Class 10 Board Exams

ICSE Class 10 Hindi is of 100 marks in total. It is further divided into two parts- theory paper (80 marks) and internal assessment (20 marks). For many students, this might feel tedious, but the internal assessments have often saved the grade since it is an integral part of the paper as well as very scoring. The topics for the internal assessment are given by the teacher as per the syllabus or a sound development of intra/inter communicative, oral, or writing skills like debates, drama, music, poetry, etc., may be included as well.  

Because there is a choice of 2 out of 4 books to read and study, students can make short notes accordingly. For plays, answers on characters, themes, critical analysis of dialogues, plot, symbols, the significance of the Acts, etc., can be written. For short stories, the plot, characters, varied situations, etc., can be marked and made short notes /on. For poems, the poet, structure, themes, critical analysis/ paraphrasing, etc., can be looked into. One does not have to make extensive notes for Hindi unless a student is unable to understand the Chapter at all.

Language subjects do not need too many resources except for Grammar or for understanding the pattern of the paper. Solving questions after every Chapter or the previous years’ question papers and mock/sample papers are more than enough to score well in the Board exams which can be downloaded in Vedantu in PDF format for free.. In Hindi, Grammar is all about logic. Once the student is able to understand the why’s, how’s, and what’s in the Grammar section, students need not worry too much about the rest. Vocabulary should be great for writing essays so practicing essay writing is a must.

All language subjects like English and Hindi are very scoring, especially the Grammar since it is an objective (short answer type question) part of the paper. Even the Literature section can be scoring, only if the student has read all the texts (plays, prose, and poetry) word by word. Students can take such papers for granted but still, it is mandatory for them to study since it is a compulsory paper. In the subjective portion like the Essay and Letter writing, students have to practice writing as much as possible.
