Class 10 Science exams can feel scary. Many students feel stress, fear, and pressure during this time. This is normal, and you are not alone.
Science has many chapters. There are formulas, diagrams, laws, and long answers. When exams come close, students often ask one simple question.
“Can I still do well if I have only 10 days?”
The answer is yes. With the right plan, calm thinking, and smart revision, you can succeed.
This blog will help you with a clear 10-day study plan for Class 10 Science. It is easy to follow and made for Indian students. It also cares about your mental health, not just marks.
The life processes are your point of departure today. This chapter is not a difficult one to read. It discusses the functioning of your body on a daily basis.
Read NCERT 110-125 gradually in the morning (9 -11 AM). Learn about nutrition. Food is produced through the use of sunlight by plants. They are called autotrophs. Certainly, humans feed, and thus we are heterotrophs. Trace the food route along the mouth to the intestine. Write this line: Starch is broken by Amylase.
Take a short break. Jump rope for 10 minutes. Eat an apple and drink water.
Afternoon (2-4 PM), respiration of the study. Make a small chart.
When you run fast, your muscles use anaerobic breathing. That is why legs hurt.
In the evening (6–7 PM), solve 10 MCQs. Revise diagrams once more.
Sleep by 10 PM.
Tip: Teach your friends. Teaching helps memory.
Today you continue life processes. You will learn how blood moves and waste leaves the body.
In the morning, study blood vessels. Arteries are thick. Veins have valves. Draw the heart with four chambers. Colour oxygen-rich blood red and oxygen-poor blood blue.
Take a break. Play catch or walk around.
In the afternoon, study excretion. Learn about the kidney. Inside it is the nephron. The nephron filters blood like a tea strainer. Urine is formed here. Draw one nephron neatly and label it.
In the evening, answer five long questions. Use arrows while explaining. Example: How does the human heart work?
Total study time is four hours.
You are now almost done with Chapter 6. Feel proud.
Today you finish Chapter 6. This chapter is interesting and easy to remember.
In the morning, study the nervous system. Learn brain parts.
Draw the brain and label it.
Take a break. Stretch your arms and legs.
In the afternoon, study hormones. Hormones are messengers.
Plants also have hormones. IAA helps plants bend toward light.
In the evening, solve 15 questions. Draw the reflex arc. Example: a hand touches a hot object and pulls back fast.
Before sleeping, revise Days 1–3 quickly. Write weak topics in a small checklist.
Great work. One big chapter is complete.
Today you start Heredity and Evolution. This chapter gives good marks.
In the morning, learn about genes. We get genes from our mother and father. Study Mendel’s pea plants. Some plants are tall. Some are short. Draw a Punnett square neatly.
Take a break. Dance or listen to music.
In the afternoon, study sex determination.
Then read about evolution. Living things change slowly over time. Darwin’s finches changed their beaks to survive.
In the evening, solve MCQs and write one long answer. Example: How do fossils support evolution?
Do not worry if it feels new. Small steps help you learn faster.
Today’s chapter is Our Environment.
In the morning, study ecosystems. Learn the energy pyramid. Plants are at the bottom. Animals are above them. Top animals are very few. Draw the pyramid clearly.
Take a break. Walk outside or water plants.
In the afternoon, study the ozone layer. It protects us from harmful sun rays. Learn about pollution. Plastic harms animals and nature.
In the evening, draw food chains and food webs. Solve 20 questions from practice sheets.
Check your score.
You are learning well.
Today you study light and lenses.
In the morning, learn the laws of reflection. A plane mirror makes an image that is virtual and the same size. Draw the mirror diagram with rays.
Take a break. Play with mirror reflections.
In the afternoon, study lenses.
Learn about eye defects and how glasses help.
In the evening, practise ray diagrams. Draw slowly and neatly. Solve 10 numericals.
Fun fact: Rainbows are made by refraction and dispersion of light.
Today’s chapter is Electricity. This chapter may feel hard at first, but it gives many marks. With practice, it becomes easy.
In the morning, start with Ohm’s Law. Write it clearly:
This means voltage equals current times resistance. Learn what each letter means. Remember that a long wire has more resistance, and a thick wire has less resistance. Read the examples from NCERT and copy two solved sums.
Take a short break. Eat fruits or nuts. Drink water. Rest your eyes.
In the afternoon, study electric circuits. Learn the difference between series and parallel circuits. Draw both circuits neatly in your notebook. Practise numericals based on current and resistance. Solve at least 5 sums slowly and carefully.
In the evening, give a full chapter test. Try to finish it in one hour, just like the exam. Check your answers and note mistakes.
Stay calm and confident. Practice makes electricity easy.
Today you study Magnetic Effects of Electric Current and Sources of Energy. These chapters need good diagrams.
In the morning, learn about magnets. Study magnetic field lines. Remember, the lines are closer near the poles and farther in the middle. Draw a bar magnet and show field lines clearly. Learn Fleming’s Left Hand Rule for motors. Practise pointing fingers correctly.
Take a break. Look for magnets at home. Try sticking them to metal objects.
In the afternoon, study sources of energy. Learn about fossil fuels, solar energy, wind energy, and nuclear energy. Write short points. Fossil fuels cause pollution. Solar energy is clean and safe. Nuclear energy splits atoms to give power.
In the evening, solve 15 MCQs. Revise all diagrams once again. Draw neatly with labels.
You are very close to finishing the syllabus. Keep going.
Today is only for practice. No new chapter today. This day helps you gain confidence.
In the morning, solve Paper 1 like a real exam. Sit properly. Do not stop in between. Use the full three hours if possible. After finishing, check your answers carefully. Write mistakes in your fix list.
Take a break. Relax for 30 minutes. Watch something light or stretch your body.
In the afternoon, solve Paper 2. Focus more on numericals and diagrams. Practise neat writing. Draw boxes for answers if needed.
In the evening, revise formulas, laws, and diagrams. Read your fix list and revise weak topics once more.
Do not feel scared of mistakes.
Confidence grows with practice.
Today is a light and calm day. No heavy study today. Your brain needs rest.
Revise notes for two hours only. Look at important diagrams, formulas, and definitions. Do not open new books. Trust what you have studied.
Eat good food. Drink enough water. Take a short walk. Talk to your family and feel relaxed.
Think positive thoughts. Say to yourself, “I am ready. I can do this.”
Sleep early.
Tomorrow, you will write your exam with confidence and calm.

Common Traps and Fixes
Stick to this, and 90+ is yours. Share your scores later!
Do not worry. Missing one day is okay. Start again the next day. Add 30 minutes to revise what you missed. Studying regularly is more important than being perfect every day.
Study for 4 to 5 hours a day. Studying too long makes the brain tired. Short and focused study works better than long and slow study.
NCERT is the most important book. For extra practice, use NCERT Exemplar. Also solve past 5 years’ question papers. These are enough because 90% of exam questions come from NCERT.
To score well, always label diagrams fully. Write part names, draw arrows, and give a title. Practice drawing diagrams on A4 sheets for neatness.
Read the question paper fully first. Start with easy questions. Write neatly and clearly. Stay calm and manage your time well.
