Every Class 10 student in Assam asks the same question before the board exam: which questions are important? The honest answer is that no list can guarantee what will appear, but a smart method can show you which topics and question types deserve most of your time. This guide explains how to find SEBA Class 10 important questions yourself, how to practise them subject by subject, and how to avoid the mistakes that cost marks in the HSLC examination.
What Makes a Question “Important”?
A question is important when it tests a core idea of the syllabus, has appeared in some form in earlier papers, or belongs to a chapter that carries more weight in the marks scheme. Instead of hunting for a “guess paper”, train yourself to spot these three signals. First, check the latest SEBA Class 10 syllabus 2027-28 and mark the chapters your school stresses. Second, solve previous HSLC question papers and note which concepts repeat. Third, look at the chapter-end exercises in your textbook, because many board questions are built from them.
How to Find Important Questions Step by Step
- List every chapter for each subject and rate your confidence from 1 to 5.
- Solve 3 to 5 years of previous HSLC papers and tick the chapter each question came from.
- Count repeats. Chapters and question types that appear again and again go to the top of your list.
- Add textbook exercises and examples from those chapters.
- Ask your teacher which topics your school expects, since internal assessment can differ.
Subject-Wise Tips
Mathematics
Maths questions are usually built on method, not memory. Practise the chapters that connect to many others: Real Numbers and Polynomials, Quadratic Equations, Arithmetic Progressions, Triangles, Trigonometry and Statistics. For each chapter, solve one easy, one medium and one hard problem every week, and write full steps because marks are given for the working.
General Science
Group your practice by type. For Chemistry, learn balanced equations and the reactions of acids, bases and metals. For Biology, practise labelled diagrams in Life Processes and Heredity. For Physics, work through numericals in Electricity and Light. Short definitions and reasons (“why does…”) are frequent, so keep a one-page formula and definition sheet for quick revision.
Social Science
Make short notes for History, Geography, Political Science and Economics. For History, keep a timeline of events and causes. For Geography, practise map work and the features of resources and agriculture. For Civics and Economics, write answers in a clear “point, explain, example” pattern.
English and Assamese (MIL)
Language papers reward practice in writing. Prepare letters, applications, essays and comprehension passages, and revise grammar rules with examples. Read your prose and poetry lessons once more for themes, characters and central ideas rather than memorising lines.
A Simple Weekly Practice Routine
- Monday to Thursday: two subjects a day, one chapter each, with 10 to 15 important questions.
- Friday: revise the week’s notes and fix weak points.
- Saturday: take a timed mock test of one full paper.
- Sunday: check answers, list mistakes, and rest.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Relying only on a “guess paper” and skipping the textbook.
- Reading answers instead of writing them out.
- Ignoring diagrams, maps and units, which cost easy marks.
- Leaving weak chapters for the last week.
- Not practising within the time limit.

No list can guarantee which questions will appear. Use previous papers, the syllabus and textbook exercises to find the topics that matter most.
How many previous papers should I solve?
Solving three to five years of HSLC papers is a good target, with at least a few of them under timed conditions.
Is NCERT enough for SEBA Class 10?
For subjects like Mathematics and Science, SEBA largely follows NCERT-aligned textbooks, but always follow your school textbook and syllabus, especially for Social Science and languages.
