Introduction

Scoring 95%+ in CBSE Class 10 Science is achievable with the right strategy. This guide breaks down chapter-wise preparation tips, time management tricks, and insider secrets from toppers.

Section 1: CBSE Class 10 Science Paper Pattern (2025 Expected)

• Theory (80 marks) + Practical (20 marks) breakdown
• Chapter-wise weightage:
  • Physics (Light + Electricity) = 18 marks
  • Chemistry (Acids/Bases + Metals) = 16 marks
  • Biology (Life Processes + Heredity) = 14 marks
• Competency-based questions (Case studies/DI) = 30%

Section 2: 30-Day Study Plan

• Phase 1 (Days 1-10): Master NCERT + Derivations
• Phase 2 (Days 11-20): Practice 2019-2024 PYQs
• Phase 3 (Days 21-30): Full-length mock tests

Section 3: Most Important Topics

• Physics: Mirror/lens formulas, Ohm’s Law graphs
• Chemistry: pH calculations, Reactivity series
• Biology: Human heart diagram, Mendel’s laws

Section 4: Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Not labeling diagrams (lose 1-2 marks per diagram)
• Skipping NCERT back-exercises (5-7 marks come directly)

Conclusion

With focused effort on high-weightage topics and regular practice, 95% is within reach!
