You can’t get the official selection paper for the Class 10 ICSE exams. The Council keeps those locked up tight to make sure the process stays fair for everyone. If they handed out current or upcoming exam papers, it’d mess up the whole system.

But here’s the good news: you can grab previous years’ question papers and official sample papers. The council releases these, and they stick to the same format, marking scheme, and level of difficulty as the real thing. Most schools also hand out mock tests and practice papers so you can get a feel for what the actual exam will be like.

Working through these papers really helps. You figure out the types of questions, practice managing your time, and sharpen your preparation. The more you practice, the more confident—and ready—you get for the real exam. And best of all, you’re doing it all by the book.
