Are you a GSEB Class 10 student wondering how to prepare for the Second Term without forgetting what you studied in the First Term? With the Gujarat Board SSC examination approaching, managing the remaining syllabus, revising previous chapters and practising questions from different subjects can become challenging.
The solution is to follow a proper study plan instead of studying randomly. Students need to divide their preparation time between completing the Second Term syllabus, revising First Term concepts, practising questions and evaluating their performance through self-tests.
In this preparation strategy, Bhagirath Sir explains how Class 10 students can organise their November, December and January study schedules. The strategy focuses on alternating theory and practice sessions, setting weekly chapter targets and following the 1-7-30 revision technique.
This guide explains the complete GSEB Class 10 Second Term Study Plan 2026-27, including a month-wise timetable, subject-wise preparation tips, daily revision techniques and final board examination preparation.
Before starting your preparation, understand the important examination details and the preparation approach you should follow.

Students should follow the latest prescribed syllabus and examination guidelines while creating their preparation timetable.
The first step towards effective preparation is understanding how much syllabus is left and how much time you have before the examination.
Follow these five steps to create your study plan:
Calculate your available days: Check the academic calendar and examination schedule to understand your preparation timeline.
List all Second Term chapters: Prepare a separate chapter list for Mathematics, Science, Social Science, English and Gujarati.
Identify your difficult subjects: Give additional preparation time to subjects and chapters that require more attention.
Separate theory and practice-based subjects: Identify which chapters require conceptual learning, memorisation or numerical problem-solving.
Set weekly targets: Decide how many chapters you can realistically complete in one week.
Students can first refer to the GSEB Class 10 SSC Syllabus 2026-27 to check the prescribed subject-wise topics before dividing them into weekly targets.
Once the syllabus is organised, students can follow the month-wise strategy explained below.
Students who want to understand the complete preparation strategy can watch the video below. Bhagirath Sir explains how to organise the November, December and January study schedules, divide theory and practice sessions, and follow the 1-7-30 revision technique.
Video: How to Create the BEST STUDY PLAN for the Second Term? | Class 9 & 10 | GSEB Board 2026-27
The video explains a three-month preparation approach covering November, December and January. It divides preparation into three stages: conceptual learning, question practice and regular revision.
Since the actual second term begins on 26 November, students should adjust the original 92-day framework according to their remaining preparation time.
November should be used to organise the Second Term syllabus and prepare a realistic weekly timetable.
The strategy explained in the video is to alternate between theory-focused and practice-focused weeks.
First Week: Theory Preparation
During the first theory-focused week, concentrate on understanding concepts and completing chapters that require reading and memorisation.
For Social Science and language subjects:
Read the prescribed textbook chapters carefully.
Understand important concepts, definitions and explanations.
Prepare short notes for lengthy topics.
Highlight important questions.
Revise the topics covered at the end of each study session.
Second Week: Practice Preparation
After completing the initial theory targets, dedicate time to practising questions.
For Mathematics and Science:
Solve textbook exercises.
Practise numerical questions.
Revise important formulas.
Solve application-based questions.
Identify mistakes and revisit difficult concepts.
Third and Fourth Weeks: Repeat the Learning Cycle
Continue alternating between theory and practice according to your subject requirements and available days.
Students who can complete three chapters in a week should set that target, while those who can complete five or more chapters may increase their weekly targets.
However, focus on understanding and completing chapters properly rather than increasing the chapter count without retaining concepts.
November Preparation Target: Organise the syllabus, establish weekly targets and begin systematic Second Term preparation.
According to the video, December preparation should become more balanced. Instead of dedicating an entire week exclusively to theory or practice, students should combine both.
Follow this seven-day approach:
| Days | Preparation Activity |
|---|---|
| Day 1 | Theory and concept learning |
| Day 2 | Theory and short notes |
| Day 3 | Theory and chapter revision |
| Day 4 | Theory and important questions |
| Day 5 | Numerical and textbook practice |
| Day 6 | Previous-year questions and exercises |
| Day 7 | Weekly revision and self-assessment |
This approach allows students to maintain conceptual understanding while regularly practising questions.
Important tasks for December:
Complete the remaining Second Term chapters.
Practise Mathematics and Science questions regularly.
Revise important Social Science concepts.
Prepare short notes for difficult chapters.
Solve textbook exercises and previous-year questions.
Identify chapters that require additional revision.
For additional practice, students can solve GSEB Class 10 Maths Previous Year Question Papers to understand question formats and improve their problem-solving speed.
December Preparation Target: Complete most of the remaining syllabus and improve subject-wise question-solving skills.
January is an important month for strengthening preparation. Students should gradually shift their focus from learning new concepts to revising previously studied topics and identifying weak areas.
The video recommends following the 1-7-30 revision rule.
The 1-7-30 revision rule is a simple revision technique that helps students revisit concepts at regular intervals.
1-Day Revision
Revise the topic studied on the previous day before starting a new study session.
For example, if you studied chemical reactions on Monday, revise those concepts on Tuesday before moving to another chapter.
7-Day Revision
After every six days of studying, dedicate the seventh day to revising the topics covered throughout the week.
Students can use Sunday for weekly revision and self-assessment instead of treating it only as a holiday.
30-Day Revision
At the end of approximately 30 days, conduct a self-test covering the chapters studied during that period.
This test will help you understand:
How much of the syllabus you remember.
Which chapters require additional revision.
Whether you can solve questions without referring to notes.
Which subjects need more practice.
How effectively you are managing your study time.
Since January also includes the GSEB preliminary examination period from 18 to 28 January 2027, students should use their school examinations as an additional opportunity to evaluate their preparation.
January Preparation Target: Revise both terms, practise examination-level questions, attempt preliminary examinations and identify weak topics before the final board examination.
The video focuses mainly on November, December and January, with a separate February planning video suggested by the teacher.
For the written article, students should also prepare a final revision phase.
The GSEB SSC board examination window is scheduled from 25 February to 17 March 2027.
During February, students should:
Revise short notes and important formulas.
Practise questions from both terms.
Solve full-length sample papers under timed conditions.
Review mistakes made in preliminary examinations.
Revise difficult chapters instead of repeatedly studying strong topics.
Follow the subject-wise board examination timetable.
Avoid starting too many new resources during the final preparation period. Concentrate on your prescribed textbooks, notes, sample papers and previously identified weak areas.
Every subject requires a different preparation approach. Students should not follow the same study method for Mathematics, Science, Social Science and languages.
Here is how you can organise your subject-wise preparation.
Mathematics requires conceptual understanding and consistent problem-solving practice.
Follow these preparation tips:
Understand the concepts before solving exercises.
Prepare a separate formula notebook.
Practise textbook examples and exercises.
Solve different types of numerical questions.
Revisit questions where you make calculation mistakes.
Practise questions within a time limit.
Students can also practise the GSEB Class 10 Maths Sample Paper 2026-27 to become familiar with the examination format and assess their preparation.
Science includes theoretical concepts, numerical problems, diagrams and application-based questions.
To prepare effectively:
Understand Physics, Chemistry and Biology concepts.
Practise important formulas and numerical questions.
Draw and label diagrams regularly.
Prepare short notes for important definitions.
Revise chemical reactions and scientific terminology.
Solve textbook exercises and previous-year questions.
Students can use the GSEB Class 10 Science Previous Year Question Papers for additional question practice.
They can also solve the GSEB Class 10 Science Sample Paper 2026-27 to practise under examination-like conditions.
Social Science contains several chapters that require conceptual understanding, factual knowledge and regular revision.
Students should:
Prepare chapter-wise short notes.
Learn important dates, events and definitions.
Understand historical events instead of memorising everything without context.
Practise map-based questions wherever applicable.
Revise important points regularly.
Solve textbook questions after completing each chapter.
Regular question practice is also important. Students can refer to the GSEB Class 10 Social Science Previous Year Question Papers to understand the question structure and practise important topics.
English preparation requires attention to reading, writing, grammar and literature.
Follow these tips:
Read every prescribed prose and poetry chapter carefully.
Understand the meaning of important passages.
Practise grammar exercises regularly.
Improve vocabulary through daily reading.
Practise writing formats included in the prescribed syllabus.
Solve comprehension and textbook-based questions.
Regular writing practice can help you improve accuracy and answer presentation.
Students can use GSEB Class 10 English Previous Year Question Papers to practise language-based questions and strengthen their examination preparation.
Gujarati requires consistent reading, writing and language practice.
Students should focus on:
Understanding prose and poetry chapters.
Learning important literary explanations.
Practising grammar exercises.
Revising textbook questions.
Improving spelling and sentence formation.
Practising writing sections according to the prescribed examination pattern.
Make short notes of important concepts to make final revision easier.
Following a daily timetable can help students manage school, homework, revision and self-study.
Here is a sample timetable that students can customise according to their school timings.
| Time | Study Activity |
|---|---|
| 6:00 AM - 7:00 AM | Revision of previously studied topics |
| School Hours | Attend classes and understand concepts |
| 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM | Rest and refresh |
| 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM | Mathematics or Science practice |
| 6:00 PM - 6:30 PM | Break |
| 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM | Social Science or language subject |
| 7:30 PM - 8:30 PM | Dinner and break |
| 8:30 PM - 9:15 PM | Homework and question practice |
| 9:15 PM - 9:30 PM | Quick revision of the day's topics |
Remember that this is a sample timetable. You can change the timings according to your school schedule, coaching classes and personal study habits. Maintain adequate sleep and take short breaks to avoid exhaustion.
Students should also refer to the latest Gujarat Board SSC and HSC Exam Dates 2027 to plan their final subject-wise revision according to the announced examination schedule.
Even after preparing a timetable, some students struggle because they do not follow it consistently.
Avoid these common mistakes:
Ignoring First Term revision: Focusing only on the Second Term can make you forget previously studied concepts.
Studying without chapter targets: Starting random chapters without a plan can delay syllabus completion.
Avoiding numerical practice: Mathematics and Science require regular question-solving.
Skipping revision: Completing a chapter once does not guarantee that you will remember it during the examination.
Not taking self-tests: Without testing yourself, it becomes difficult to identify preparation gaps.
Depending only on memorisation: Understanding concepts is important for answering different types of questions.
Ignoring time management: Practise questions within a time limit to improve examination speed.
