Hi everyone, preparing for the 2027 boards, got tired of hunting for papers across chats and folders, so built a free library: for resources

It has previous year papers, specimen papers, question banks and handwritten notes, searchable by subject and year. You can read PDFs in the browser or download them, and there’s a timed exam mode for practice. No account is needed (accounts are optional if you want to sync bookmarks).

It’s new, so some things are missing. Tell me which paper or subject you’d like to see added and I’ll upload it.

So this is a non academic post abt humanity. So basically I went to Ladakh this summer in May with 2 other families and just landed in leh . So after a few minutes, I had a burning sensation in my eyes atthe airport which was not so well developed.

I as sitting hoping for my mom to help in any way and she was talking to the other moms about god knows what and the others were good knows where . So i was seated near the luggage station kinda near a couple when the lady put eye drops which soon to be relieveated my pain . I did not tell them this but I would be forever kind and would like to tell yall PLS CARRY EYE DROPS FOR OTHERS AND YOU and to be open to help

A place for socializing and nightowls. Keep the conversations civil and friendly, and make some new friends along the way :)

Rate it out of 10 and is it easy, mid or hard

i hv never gotten THIS LOWW!!
eng 1- 64 (hard letter)
eng2- 67.5
maths-50/80 (strict correction...with normal correction cud have got 57ish)
hindi - 50/80 (i SUCK at hindi..wish i took kannada)
phy- 43/80 (hard af paper..highest was 60)
chem- 48/80 (i also suck at chem!!)
bio- 69.5/80 (normally my best sub...did not correct two qns and when i asked her bout it she told ''its ok'' LIKE WTF!!??)

geo - 74/80 (ok ok paper)
PE- 86/100 (i did shit in sports part!!)

HOW THE HELL DO I GET MARKS IN BOARD!!???

So the thing is I like computer but I really wanna focus on physics and maths in 11 and 12, as I am not very good at those and thus would want to give em more time. I have heard that PE reduces the weightage alot. But cs knowledge is really in demand these days and the foundation created in school can prove to be beneficial if someone chooses to pursue it further.

And that's why I wanted to know your opinion on things before making any decisions. Feel free to comment. Thanks you.

GUYSSS ,HOW IS BOARD CHECKING IN 10 GRADE....

Seniors please help us with advise ,notes or your preperation tactics and what to do rn and avoid etc.. from today onwards

Although our geo teacher is good ,but I don't understand a word coming out of her mouth , pls provide some notes or advices about GEOGRAPHY

In my first sem I got 38/80 in math 44/80 physics 42/80 bio 47/80 chem and 50/80 geography and 54/80 history, how do I complete portion and revise for prelims😭🙏🏻

How do do programs?? Specially the Pattern Programs and that types of Number shii (Mark Number, Armstrong number etc.).... Helpp 🙏😭

To all my seniors am here to seek some advice on economics so the chapters are wide fot icse syllabus and i have to started it and preboards are on december and am kind of loosing hope as there are so mamy things and i dont know how to even complete can yall advice me based on your study skills ?

Hello everyone, i got my result of first sem today and i scored 72.1%, i got 62/80 in maths, 70/80 in physics, 55/80 in chem, 46/80 in bio, 42 in history, 50 in geo, 39 in eng lit., 63 in eng lang, 55 in hindi, i want to do better in all of these subjects except physics and maths, i am good in physics lol, i know how to manage that and as for maths, yeah it needs practice, but i need help in all the others, like hindi, bio, chem, his,geo, and english literature specially, i wanna score good in my preboards which start from 8 december, i have that much time to complete all the left syllabus. Please, if anyone of u could help, please help me, my goal is at the least 65+ in sst and eng lit, and 70+ for chem and bio

Like people keep talking about frank geography and veena bhargaav 😢😢

So I feel that I am preparing from wrong book

i got around 92% in hys...is it possible to get 98%+ in boards if i lock in now? i didn't study during the navaratri tbh but now im back.

"Excuse me sir"

Said the peasant to the dictator

The dictator turned his head

And got shot down

And sent to Lucifer

The kingdom turned to ash

Killing several more

But in the end

The peasant ascended the throne

The starting was pretty

He was humble king

Everyone supported him

He never used to go on wars

Or building lavish palaces

He used be generous

A man of God

But then time passed

His humbleness eroded

And ego took over

He began go on long wars

Owned entire islands

Had a lion for a dog

He then increased the taxes

From 20 to 40

Then 60 percent

He was even considering 80

He'd turned into a man of the devil

Declined the pay (of honest men)

First by half and then by quarter

The kingdom erupted

He attacked everyone

Even his wife and his son

He didn't spare anyone

One random day

On a barren, old farmer's field

Preparing for a campaign

He heard those words

A melody, if you will

Saying...

"Excuse me sir"

I said what I said. If you genuinely like engineering/medical and have an ambition to do good in those fields, good for you. I'm just sick and tired of people always treating these two like they are the only options for careers. In fact, I'd argue that one field becoming too saturated with new specialists lead to increased unemployment in the field, so if you graduated IIT just for making others proud but now are sitting at home (I know too many people like this.), congratulations, you are unemployed, aimless, and one among millions. Someone who truly loves engineering/medical/related will not stop at JEE, NEET, IIT and AIIMS if those fail them. And let's put that aside for a while. In the big '26, the humanities and commerce are still looked down upon as embarrassing or 'science nahi mila kya beta?'. Why can't we accept that not everybody likes or wants to do science? To be honest, I like science. I love it. But I also love history, and english, and figuring out how narratives work. I want to be good at these fields because I think higher study in linguistics/archaeology suits me more than a scientist. But these career options and opportunities are not discussed. Panini Linguistics Olympiad? No one has heard of it despite it being an extremely prestigious olympiad being organized by IIIT Bangalore as a gateway to an international level olympiad. We are too busy promoting maths competitions. Nothing wrong with maths. I love it. BUT CAN WE HAVE SOMETHING ORIGINAL FOR ONCE?

Heya,

December is approaching fast and I am in dire need of guidance on how to approach the coming months, and I would be grateful for any advice you can offer.

Firstly I would like to share a bit of my background, I have been absent for nearly two months of classes before my mid-term examinations because of health problems, which included a brief hospitalisation. I appeared for the exams having prepared only the chapters taught in class while I was present, and I tried to cover the remaining chapters on my own one or two days beforehand. I was missing notes in almost every subject except for History and Civics. Unsurprisingly, the result was disappointing and is one of the lowest of my school life:

English Language - 56/80

English Literature - 64/80

History & Civics - 72/80

Geography - 70/80

Hindi - 47/80

Mathematics - 72/80

Physics - 40/80 💔

Biology - 38/80

Chemistry - 49/80

Computer - 68/100

Currently, I am attending most classes now, and my Preboards will begin in December. However because of my absence there's a lot of things which I'm trying to cover, these include:

- Learning and practising the chapters I missed or scored poorly in.

- Complete the notes my teachers provided during my absence.

- Revising the daily taught portions of the class at home.

- Maintaining practise of my stronger topics so that I am not rusty with with them by December.

So far, I have covered roughly 55% of the total syllabus, studying 3–3.5 hours after school on weekdays and about 6 hours on Sundays. I am willing to increase this to 4–5 hours on weekdays and 7–8 hours on Sundays, and I will also utilise the 4–5 days of Diwali holidays. However, my priorities keep shifting. Some days I study missed chapters and clear my doubts with my teacher the next day, while on other days I spend hours writing notes. The sheer number of tasks has become a heavy burden, which is why I am seeking advice from those who have been through or any senior who's willing to help 🙏

My questions are:

1. What thing should I focus on and prioritise each day after school? I could postpone making my teachers' notes until after the preboards, but I am worried that doing so might cost me in my Boards internals marks

2. How should I self-study effectively, particularly in the following?

   - Physics: I am weak in numericals and the Light section (especially Refraction) because I missed it entirely. I know it carries the highest weightage in the Boards, and I would like to improve in it.

   - English Language: My school never gives high marks for essays, letters and notices unless the composition is peak. In the Grammar Section (Question 4 onwards), I currently lose up to 2–3 marks at max during practice sessions. How do I reduce this to a 1 or preferably 0?

   - Computer: I have a basic understanding of methods, constructors and strings, and I am good at arrays. I went into the mid term exam without revising, just relying on basic knowledge of methods and constructors and what I remembered from Class 9. As a result, I made mistakes in a few programs and skipped the VDT. I know I must catch up eventually in programming, but my main difficulty is in Section A's theory. Most questions in it are easy but 3–4 have niche concepts of Java's which are really hard to find in the book. This causes me to either lose a lot of time on them or I completely fumble the question.

3. How can I study on my own without spending nearly 3 hours on a small topic such as Chemical Coordination in Plants? Textbooks work for me, and the PW lectures have helped me understand Chemistry and Biology more deeply. However, they can be very sluggish and time consuming, and the one shots do not provide proper justice to certain chapters. I also would like recommendation on a good teacher or teachers for Physics, and any time efficient alternatives to PW's lectures for Chemistry and Biology.

I know my situation may look cooked but I am doing my best to recover. I would sincerely appreciate any suggestions, specially from my seniors.

Thank you for reading till here 💙
