About the Kerala SSLC Mathematics Exam
Kerala SSLC Mathematics is the Class 10 Secondary School Leaving Certificate public examination mathematics paper under Kerala Pareeksha Bhavan, following SCERT Kerala syllabus and textbooks. It assesses Class 10 Mathematics chapters: Arithmetic Sequences; Circles; Mathematics of Chance; Second Degree Equations; Trigonometry; Coordinates; Tangents; Solids; Geometry and Algebra; Polynomials; and Statistics. The official assessment is a subject total of 100 marks via Terminal Evaluation (mixed written theory, commonly about 2.5 hours including cool-off) and Continuous Evaluation — commonly described as TE 80 + CE 20 — not pure MCQ. Fees and exact schemes are notified by Pareeksha Bhavan (keralapareekshabhavan.in) with syllabi on scert.kerala.gov.in. Pass marks are commonly described as D+ or above (~30% aggregate) with a separate ~30% floor in TE (often cited near ~24/80 for TE). The 100 questions on this page are a free English-language multiple-choice study adaptation with step-by-step worked calculations; they are not a full simulation of the official mixed theory paper or CE evidence.
Exam sponsor: Kerala Pareeksha Bhavan (General Education Department) with SCERT Kerala syllabus. The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.
Assessment
Official Kerala SSLC Mathematics is assessed as Terminal Evaluation (written theory) + Continuous Evaluation for a subject total of 100 marks. Non-practical subjects such as Mathematics are commonly described under TE 80 + CE 20 (confirm the year’s scheme). Theory duration is commonly about 2.5 hours including cool-off time as notified. The written paper is mixed format (not pure MCQ) covering SCERT Class 10 Mathematics: Arithmetic Sequences; Circles; Mathematics of Chance; Second Degree Equations; Trigonometry; Coordinates; Tangents; Solids; Geometry and Algebra; Polynomials; and Statistics. English and Malayalam media are typically available. Confirm circulars on keralapareekshabhavan.in and scert.kerala.gov.in. This practice bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation for concept and multi-step calculation fluency — it does not simulate official attempt limits, long constructed responses, or CE evidence.
Time Limit
About 2.5 hours theory for Mathematics (including cool-off time as notified)
Passing Score
Commonly reported as grade D+ or above (~30% aggregate across CE and TE where applicable), with a separate minimum of about 30% in Terminal Evaluation (for Mathematics, TE floor often described near ~24 when TE is 80 marks); verify the current pass criteria for your examination year.
Exam / Certification Fees
As notified by Kerala Pareeksha Bhavan and paid through schools for regular SSLC sittings (no single fixed public subject fee for all categories).
Exam sponsor websiteFees, eligibility, and exam policies can change. Confirm them with the exam sponsor before applying or paying.

Coverage, format, and difficulty may differ from the actual exam, and we cannot guarantee that every detail is accurate or current. Confirm exam requirements, fees, and policies with the official exam sponsor.
Arithmetic Sequences
Common difference, nth term aₙ = a + (n−1)d, sum Sₙ = n/2 [2a + (n−1)d], recovering a or d from terms, and multi-step AP word problems.
Circles
Equal chords, angles in the same segment, cyclic quadrilateral opposite angles, and multi-step circle-geometry calculations.
Mathematics of Chance
Classical probability, complementary events, coins/dice/cards, and simple with/without-replacement compound events.
Second Degree Equations
Factorization, quadratic formula, discriminant and nature of roots, and consecutive-integer or area-type applications.
Trigonometry
Standard ratios and values, Pythagorean and cofunction identities, and heights-and-distances calculations.
Coordinates
Distance, midpoint, section formula, area of a triangle, collinearity, and multi-step coordinate problems.
Tangents
Tangent perpendicular to radius, equal tangents from an external point, and length-of-tangent √(OP² − r²) calculations.
Solids
CSA/TSA and volumes of cylinder, cone, sphere, and hemisphere; combined solids and metal-recasting volume balance.
Geometry and Algebra
Similar-triangle ratios, Pythagoras theorem applications, and algebra–geometry link problems from SCERT Class 10.
Polynomials
Zeros–coefficient relations, remainder and factor theorems, and forming monic polynomials from given zeros.
Statistics
Mean, median, mode for ungrouped data; mean and modal class for grouped data; multi-step average problems.
