CBSE Class 10 Science Practice Papers

20 original practice papers for Class 10 students in India preparing for the CBSE board examination in Science (086). Each paper is 39 questions, 80 marks, 3 hours in Biology, Chemistry and Physics sections with internal choice, written to the CBSE 2026-27 Class X Science (086) syllabus and sample paper, with a full worked solution for every question.

These papers follow the CBSE Class X Science (code 086) curriculum and sample question paper for 2026-27: 39 questions and 80 marks over three hours in three sections (A Biology 30 marks, B Chemistry 25, C Physics 25), with multiple-choice, assertion-reason, short and long answer and case-study questions and internal choice. They are original TPH practice papers, not official CBSE papers, and no official question is reproduced. Calculations, genetics crosses, equation balancing and lens, mirror and circuit numericals are re-solved by an independent checker. The assertion-reason statements, the fact-based multiple-choice questions and the written model answers are authored from the NCERT textbook content and have not been machine-checked, so a teacher should review them before the papers are used for marking. Ray diagrams are drawn for the lens questions only; other figure questions are worded as text. The 20 internal-assessment marks are not included.

Plan your practice

All 20 papers use different questions, so every paper you add is new practice, not a repeat. After each paper, mark it with the worked solutions, note the topics that cost you marks, then use the next paper to check you have fixed them.

Questions about these papers

Are these official past exam papers?

No, and that is deliberate. Official past papers are copyrighted, limited in quantity and often out of date with current syllabus specifications. Test Papers Hub produces original practice papers written from scratch to mirror real exam structures, question styles, time limits and difficulty. You get fresh, unseen practice that behaves like the real test.

Which exams do you cover?

NSW Selective and Opportunity Class (OC) tests, Year 2 to 4 English and Maths, EduTest and HAST entry tests, NSW HSC, VCE (Victoria), QCE (Queensland), AMEB Music Theory (Grades 2 to 5), UCAT ANZ, Digital SAT, ACT, AP, GCSE Maths and CFA Levels I and II. We add exams over time. If you do not see yours, tell us and we will prioritise it.

What makes your worked solutions different?

Most answer keys give a letter (for example "Answer: C") or dense working written for teachers. Every question in our papers comes with a numbered, line-by-line solution in plain language, an explanation of why each wrong option fails, and a one-line key takeaway. Wherever a diagram, graph or structural formula speeds up learning, we include one. Students can self-correct and learn independently.

How difficult are your papers compared to the real test?

We aim for papers at least as demanding as the real test, including the harder questions that separate top candidates, and we check each paper against the published format and syllabus. A strong result on our papers is a useful sign of readiness, but no practice paper can predict an exam result, and real exams vary from year to year.

How and when will I receive my order?
