ICSE Class 10 board exams reward a very specific skill: answering competency-based, application-style questions under the CISCE pattern, not just reciting a definition. Oswaal's ICSE Question Bank Class 10 — Physics, Chemistry, Maths & Biology (Set of 4 Books) is built around exactly that shift, for the 2027 board exam.

In short: a serious, board-exam-specific practice set for all four science/maths subjects — chapter-wise and topic-wise, with 900+ exam-oriented questions per subject graded by difficulty, plus revision notes, mind maps and concept videos. Not a first-teach book; use it once the chapter is already understood.
What it is
- Publisher: Oswaal Books, aligned specifically to the CISCE (ICSE) board — not a generic CBSE/ICSE combined book.
- Set of 4 separate books: Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Biology for Class 10.
- Edition built "For 2027 Board Exam" — matched to the latest ICSE syllabus and exam pattern, so get the current printing rather than an older one.
What's inside (per subject)
- 900+ exam-oriented questions organised chapter-wise and topic-wise, plus self-assessment papers to check readiness chapter by chapter.
- Competency-focused questions — analytical and application-based, matching how CISCE now actually asks questions, not just recall.
- 250+ key concepts backed by short interactive concept videos and mnemonics (via Oswaal.AI) for anything that doesn't click from the notes alone.
- Topic-wise revision notes, smart mind maps, common-error identification and answering tips — aimed squarely at exam technique, not just content.
- Questions graded easy, medium and difficult, with both solved and practice versions.
Who it's for
- A Class 10 ICSE student who has finished first-pass learning of a chapter and now needs board-pattern practice, not a fresh explanation.
- Parents who want one consistent, board-specific question source across all four science/maths subjects instead of mixing different publishers.
- Students specifically worried about competency/application questions, which is where CISCE papers increasingly differentiate top scorers.
Where it falls short
- It isn't a teaching textbook. If a concept hasn't been taught yet, use the school textbook or a concept guide first — this is practice and revision, not first instruction.
- It's ICSE-specific — a CBSE student should look for the CBSE-aligned equivalent instead.
- Four separate books means more to manage and carry than a single combined volume; keep them organised by subject folder or binder.
- As with any annual edition, buy the current year's printing so the question style matches the latest exam pattern.
How to use it
- Finish a chapter at school, then do that chapter's questions here within the same week, starting with the easy tier.
- Use the self-assessment papers at the end of each unit to decide whether to move on or revise further.
- In the last two months before boards, switch to timed practice papers per subject, and keep a running note of competency-question types that keep tripping your child up.
Verdict
For an ICSE Class 10 student, this is a focused, board-specific practice set across all four science/maths subjects — strong on exam technique (mind maps, error notes, graded difficulty) as well as raw question volume. Pair it with whatever your child already uses to learn each chapter, and use this to prove it's actually exam-ready.
