X Class Physical Science Sample Papers 2026 (Telangana) - 18 Sample Question Papers with Answers

Looking for model papers across every SSC subject? Browse the full 10th Class Model Papers (TS) range to find them all in one place. This page covers dedicated practice for Physical Science (English Medium)  the 2026 edition, set as per TSCERT's official exam paper blueprint.

Where Physical Science fits in the SSC exam In Telangana SSC, Science is split into two separate subjects and papers: Physical Science (Physics and Chemistry) and Biological Science (Biology). This book is for the Physical Science paper. It's a numerical- and formula-heavy subject compared to most other SSC papers, which means it rewards repeated problem-solving practice far more than passive reading exactly what a full set of sample question papers is built for.

Latest TS Class 10 Physical Science syllabus (2026-27) - the 12 chapters

1. Reflection of Light at Curved Surfaces — spherical mirrors, mirror formula, applications like solar cookers
2. Chemical Equations — writing and balancing chemical equations, interpreting reactions
3. Acids, Bases and Salts — chemical properties, pH scale, salts from common salt
4. Refraction of Light at Curved Surfaces — lenses, ray diagrams, lens formula
5. Human Eye and Colourful World — eye structure, vision defects, prism, scattering of light
6. Structure of the Atom — Bohr's model, quantum mechanical model, electronic configuration
7. Classification of Elements — The Periodic Table — Döbereiner's Triads, Newlands' Octaves, Mendeleev's and the Modern Periodic Table
8. Chemical Bonding — ionic and covalent bonds, Lewis structures, VSEPR theory
9. Electric Current — potential difference, Ohm's Law, resistance, electric circuits and power
10. Electromagnetism — Oersted's experiment, magnetic fields, electric motors, electromagnetic induction
11. Principles of Metallurgy — extraction of metals, corrosion, metallurgical processes
12. Carbon and Its Compounds — hybridization, hydrocarbons, homologous series, soaps and saponification

What's inside — 18 Sample Question Papers in Total

• 5 Previous Papers — real past-year Physical Science question papers, showing exactly how TSCERT has framed numerical and theory questions across these 12 chapters in recent exams
• 10 Model Papers — freshly set papers matching the current single-paper pattern, giving broad coverage across Physics and Chemistry chapters for repeated practice
• 3 Practice Papers — additional papers for a final self-test closer to exam day
• Answers included for every paper, so students can self-check formulas, numericals, and equation-balancing without waiting on a teacher
• Built to the Single Paper System and the Blue Print (marks/question-type distribution) as per TSCERT's official exam paper, the format that combines Physics and Chemistry into one single paper rather than separate sections, so practicing full-length papers (not just chapter-wise questions) matters more than ever

How Students Should use this Book

• Start with the 5 Previous Papers to see exactly how TSCERT frames numerical problems (Ohm's Law, lens/mirror formula calculations) versus theory questions (definitions, law statements), this tells you where to focus your practice time.
• Work through the 10 Model Papers chapter by chapter first, particularly for numerical-heavy chapters like Electric Current, Reflection/Refraction, and Chemical Equations - redo the same type of problem with different numbers until the method is automatic, not just memorized.
• Don't skip diagrams and ray-diagram practice. Chapters like Human Eye, Reflection, and Refraction expect labeled diagrams alongside written answers practicing these inside full model papers (not just in isolation) builds the habit of including them under time pressure.
• Save the 3 Practice Papers for the final two weeks, attempted timed and under exam conditions, to confirm both your recall and your calculation speed are exam-ready.
• Plan around all seven subjects, not just this one. If you're building a full revision timetable, the ALL-IN-ONE Telangana Model Papers editions bundle model and practice papers for every SSC subject - First Language, Second Language, English, Maths, Physical Science, Biological Science, and Social Studies into one single-paper-pattern book.

Why this matters for 10th Class overall

Physical Science is often the subject students feel least confident about, precisely because it mixes memorization (definitions, laws) with calculation (numericals) and diagram work in one paper. Repeated full-paper practice not just reading formulas is what closes that gap, and going through past-year, model, and practice papers in that order gives a realistic, steadily increasing level of exam-day readiness before the actual 2026 board exam.
