Model papers for Class 10 Physical Science (combining Physics and Chemistry) for the 2026 board examinations are usually released by your state education board a few months before the exams. These model question papers are crucial as they reflect the latest exam pattern and question type distribution.

What you should do to get them:

1. Visit your State Board's official website or your school's online portal under the "Resources" or "Examination" section.

2. Look for a link labeled "Model Question Paper 2026 - Physical Science".

3. Download the PDF and use it to practice within the official time limit.

4. Refer to previous year papers (from 2021-2025) to identify recurring topics and improve time management.

Why it's important:

Model papers mirror the exact marks distribution and format.

They help you understand weightage across units like Physical and Chemical changes, Metals and Non-Metals, Electricity, Light, etc.

Practicing them helps build accuracy and confidence.

If your school or board hasn't published the 2026 paper yet, keep checking online or reach out to your teacher for updates. When it's released, prioritize solving it first as part of your exam preparation plan.
