Month-by-Month Study Plan for CBSE Class 7 Students

A good study plan for Class 7 divides the period from October to March into four stages: Learn, Practise, Revise and Test. Pending chapters: October & November; First Revision: December; Practice papers: January; Mock tests: February & Light revision: March. The exact dates of exams are decided by your school, so check the date sheet and plan according to it.

Class 7 Syllabus 2026-27: What to Study

NCERT has released new Class 7 Books for 2026-27. Your syllabus is based on these books:

• Maths: Ganita Prakash (Part 1 & Part 2)

• Science: Curiosity

• Social Science: Exploring Society: India and Beyond

• English: Poorvi

• Hindi: Malhar

• Sanskrit: Deepakam (If offered in your school)

Maths needs practise everyday, so give it the most time; Science and Social Science have to be read and revised regularly. English and Hindi, reading, writing and grammar require regular practice.

Build Your Class 7 Monthly Study Plan in 4 Easy Steps

Step 1: Subjects & Chapters List

Write each subject on a separate page. List all chapters below it. The ones you have finished in school. The ones that are not ticked are your plan for the next few months.

Step 2: Find Your Weak & Strong Areas

Go over each chapter and mark it green (easy), yellow (okay) or red (hard). If you’re energised, start with red chapters. Mark green chapters for revision.

Step 3: Set Your Daily Study Hours

An average Class 7 student can study at home for about 2 to 3 hours on school days. Weekends add 1 to 2 hours. Pick a time and stick with it. Studying regularly is better than long random study sessions.

Step 4: Update Your Books

Use your NCERT textbooks as a foundation. Then add one practice book in each subject. A chapter-wise question bank helps you test what you learnt. For example, Oswaal Books has One for All question banks for the new Class 7 books covering Maths, Science, Social Science, English, Hindi and Sanskrit. Use one notebook for rough work and one for notes.
