    CBSE Term 2 exams are around the corner and it’s the first time board exams have been split into two terms. The same goes with the syllabus, unlike earlier board exams where students had to cover entire books, this time the syllabus has been divided equally into two parts. Term 1 was MCQ-based but term 2 will be a subjective type. Earlier students were only given 90 minutes to finish the exam in term 1 but it would be 2 hours in Term 2. 

    Students are relieved because of two reasons, first, they will be getting more time to finish the exam, and secondly, the syllabus is also less. As science is considered one of the most important yet difficult subjects in class 10 boards, the division of syllabus has given a new ray of hope to score well in exams. If you’re still unaware of the complete science syllabus, we have got you covered. 

    CBSE Term 2 Science Marking Scheme

    Unit Marks
    Chemical substances-nature and behavior: Chapters 4 and 5 10
    World of living: Chapters 8 and 9 13
    Effects of current: Chapters 12 and 13 12
    Natural resources: Chapter 15 05

    The total weightage of the CBSE Class 10 term 2 science exam is 40 marks. 10 marks will be considered on the basis of internal assessment. The same marking scheme was followed in the Term 1 science exam. 

    The weightage for the CBSE Class 10 term 2 science exam will be 40 marks. Apart from this, a 10 marks internal assessment will be conducted. The same marking scheme was followed in the term 1 science exam too. Hence, the grand total marks will be 100.
