Overall Review

Overall, the ICSE Class 10 Maths paper was bit lengthy, but the questions weren’t that difficult to solve. Students who had practised solving past year papers and questions from the textbook wouldn’t find this paper tough.

Also, solving our sample papers would have made answering the difficult questions in the Maths paper easy and would have helped students complete the paper on time.
