How to Use PYQs Effectively

01

Attempt under exam conditions

Set a 3-hour timer. No phone, no notes. Treat every PYQ as a dress rehearsal for the board exam.

02

Identify repeating patterns

Chapters that appear in 2 or more years are guaranteed important. Prioritise those in your revision.

03

Track your score year by year

Do 2023-24, then 2024-25, then 2025-26. If your score improves, you're on the right track.

04

Plug gaps with chapter practice

Every wrong answer points to a weak chapter. Practice that chapter on ClearSteps before moving to the next paper.
