The Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) regularly revises its Board exam syllabus for every subject. Last year for the 2023-2024 board exam also CISCE revised its syllabus by reducing it by around 20-30%. But for the years 2024-2025, no modification in the syllabus has been made. So students are advised to follow the same syllabus for 2023-2024. Therefore for English also the syllabus remains the same for the 2024-25 academic session.

Here is a para for you from the poem “Nine Gold Medals”– David Roth to help you “Athletes” stay motivated for the class 10the ICSE Board Exam” Game”.
The athletes had come from all over the country
To run for the gold, for the silver and bronze
Many weeks and months of training
All coming down to these games.
The blocks were all lined up for those who would use them
The hundred-yard dash and the race to be run
These were nine resolved athletes in the back of the starting line
Poised for the sound of the gun.
