How to Get Full A+ in SSLC — Marks You Need and a Month-by-Month Plan

Full A+ means getting the A+ grade in every SSLC subject. A+ is 90% or more of a subject’s total marks, and that total includes the continuous evaluation (CE) marks your school gives during the year. So Full A+ is not only about the March exam: it starts with the marks you can secure now.

This guide shows the exact marks you need, the places where good students usually slip from A+ to A, and a calm month-by-month plan from November to the exam.

The marks you need for A+

100-mark subjects (English, Social Science, Mathematics): 20 CE + 80 written. A+ needs 90 out of 100.
50-mark subjects (First Language Papers I and II, Hindi, Chemistry, Biology and the other 50-mark papers): 10 CE + 40 written. A+ needs 45 out of 50.
If you get full CE marks, you need about 70 out of 80 in a 100-mark written paper, or 35 out of 40 in a 50-mark written paper.
Every CE mark you lose must be made up in the written exam, so treat CE work as real marks.

Where students usually lose an A+

The 50-mark papers. There is only a 5-mark margin. One careless answer can drop you from A+ to A.
CE work submitted late or half-done. Assignments, projects and practical records add up across all subjects.
Leaving questions out. Attempt every question; partial answers often earn marks.
Time running out in Mathematics and Social Science. Practise full papers with a timer.
Language papers taken lightly. Grammar and writing questions need practice too.

November–December: finish and strengthen

Finish the portions taught in school and keep CE work up to date.
Make one-page notes for each chapter: formulas, definitions, dates, diagrams.
Use the Christmas (second term) exam to find weak chapters. Note every lost mark and why.

January: revise in rounds

Revise every chapter at least once, weakest subjects first.
Solve previous SSLC question papers under time limits, at least one per subject each week.
Practise the 50-mark papers carefully: aim for 45+ every time.

February: model exam and practicals

The IT practical and model exams usually come a few weeks before the public exam. Treat the model exam as a full rehearsal.
After the model exam, make a short list of the topics that cost you marks and fix only those.
Keep a fixed sleep time. Tired revision is slow revision.

March: exam month

Revise from your one-page notes, not new books.
Before each paper, read your formula and definition sheets once.
In the exam: read all questions first, answer the ones you know best first, and keep 10 minutes to check.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Full A+ in SSLC?

Full A+ means getting the A+ grade (90% or more) in every SSLC subject. CE marks and written exam marks are added together for each subject.

How many marks do I need for A+ in SSLC?

90 out of 100 in English, Social Science and Mathematics, and 45 out of 50 in the 50-mark subjects such as Hindi, Chemistry, Biology and the First Language papers.

Can I get Full A+ if I am an average student?

Many students improve a grade or two in Class 10 by securing their CE marks, revising in rounds and practising previous papers. Start early, work on weak chapters first, and ask for help with topics you find hard.

Is there a minimum mark for the SSLC written exam in 2027?

No. The plan to require 30% in the written exam alone was put on hold for SSLC in September 2026. CE and written marks are still added together. Check Pareeksha Bhavan for any official change.
