Chapter-wise Weightage Distribution
Most of the chapters had almost the same weightage in the exam, which is really good as majority of the students usually find it difficult if there is any major change in the weightage distribution. As always, Similarity was the favourite for examiners, followed by Circles, Mensuration, Trigonometry, Geometric Constructions and Co-ordinate Geometry.
The paper was completely designed in the usual manner, and there were no ‘out of syllabus’ questions asked, except for Q. 5., which was a tricky question. Students who solved textbook questions will find that it was very easy to score full marks in the Geometry exam.
The paper was not that lengthy, but there were construction-based questions. Had students smartly chosen the questions in the paper, they would have been able to finish it on time. Anyway, the paper is now over. Time to take a deep breath and move your focus to the next paper.
Team TopperLearning wishes you all the best for your upcoming SSC Class 10 exams!
