• C = Probability (3–5 marks)
• D = Geometry & Constructions (4–5 marks)

3️⃣ Marks Distribution

SSLC 2024 → More 5–6 mark long problems, especially in geometry, trigonometry, statistics.

Onam 2025 → Balanced spread:

• 1 mark → 6–7 Qs
• 3 mark → 6–7 Qs
• 4 mark → 5–6 Qs
• 5 mark → 5–6 Qs

5️⃣ Question Style

SSLC 2024 →

• Long descriptive questions.
• Proof-based geometry.
• Application problems (trigonometry, mensuration).

Onam 2025 →

• More direct and practice-based.
• Short “choose correct option” type questions.
• Simple construction tasks.

6️⃣ Choice in Questions

• SSLC 2024 → Very limited internal choice.
