The half-yearly exams for Class 10 are just around the corner, and this year we’re putting out fresh model question papers with answer keys for every subject — Science, Social Science, English, Hindi and Maths. Every paper is written from scratch for this year’s textbooks, follows the current CBSE pattern section by section, and comes with a full answer key so you can actually check your work instead of guessing.
We tried to keep these close to what a real exam feels like. That means real-life questions instead of the same recycled textbook lines — working out an electricity bill, reading a short survey and drawing conclusions from it, that sort of thing. The difficulty is mixed on purpose too: some easy questions to build confidence, a good chunk of moderate ones, and enough tough ones to actually test understanding, roughly in the same balance CBSE itself aims for.
What you’ll find in each paper
Every subject gets two full model papers, except Maths which has one, and each comes with its own answer key. All of them are built on this year’s textbooks and follow the official CBSE blueprint for marks and question types — MCQs, assertion-reason, case-based questions, the works.

A few questions people usually ask
Are these based on the current textbooks, or old papers floating around online?
Current ones. Every question is mapped to this year’s NCERT chapters that actually fall in the half-yearly portion, not whatever was in the syllabus a few years ago.
Do they match the latest CBSE pattern?
Yes, section by section, including how the marks are split and what kind of questions show up where.
Is there an answer key?
Yes, for every paper. Not just the final answers either, but the marking points, so you can see where marks would actually be lost.
We’ll keep adding more papers here as the exams get closer, so it’s worth checking back on this page.
