SST Class 10 is the largest syllabus of the year, with four subjects in one paper, so the guide keeps a single route through it: History, Geography, Political Science and then Economics. Every one of the 22 chapters has an NCERT map, a five-line summary, notes, key terms, solved NCERT exercises and a quiz.
There is also a Map Lab for sst class 10 map work, with eight practice maps and a 16-question map quiz, because map work is an easy five marks when it is practised.
