These books cover year-wise solved papers from 2017 to 2026, giving you nearly a decade of real board exam questions to practice with.
Whether you are in Class 10 or Class 12, solving previous years' papers is one of the most effective ways to prepare. It helps you understand the exam pattern, manage your time, and build the confidence you need to score well in February–March 2027.
What Subjects Are Covered?

All the books are updated as per the latest CBSE syllabus released on 1st & 2nd April 2026, so you are studying exactly what is relevant for the upcoming exam.
Why Should You Solve Previous Years’ Papers?
Many students spend all their time reading textbooks and making notes, but forget one important step: practising actual exam questions. Here is why previous year papers matter:
You learn the real exam pattern. Textbooks teach you concepts, but board papers show you how those concepts are tested. When you solve 5 to 10 years of papers, you start noticing which topics are repeated, how questions are framed, and what the examiners expect in your answers.
You get better at time management. Knowing the paper pattern helps you plan how much time to spend on each section. This is especially important in subjects like Mathematics, where lengthy problems can eat up your time if you are not prepared.
You identify your weak areas early. Instead of finding out during the exam that you struggle with a particular chapter, previous year papers help you spot those gaps weeks or months in advance, giving you enough time to fix them.

These are not just collections of old question papers. Oswaal has packed a lot of useful features into this edition that go beyond basic solved papers.
