Solve as timed tests; then match with marking-scheme solutions to refine map labelling, source-based answers, case-study reasoning and data-response writing.

Why chapter-wise PYQs improve SST scores

Social Science rewards structure and keywords. Hodu Academy arranges previous board questions by NCERT chapters so you can revise one concept cluster at a time—from federalism and power sharing to globalisation, manufacturing industries and nationalism in India. Each PDF includes examiner-style points, map work with neat legends, and value-based justifications for case questions.

How to revise SST with PYQs

Attempt each chapter’s PDF in a single sitting. Underline command words such as justify, evaluate, differentiate, locate/label. For Geography, practise map plotting with a clean legend; for Economics, build point-wise answers with examples and data; for Political Science and History, connect concepts to events and include dates/locations where relevant.

These chapter-wise CBSE PYQs from Hodu Academy mirror real exam expectations. Consistent practice improves speed, structure and accuracy—turning your SST paper into guaranteed marks.
