The complete Class 10 SEE study guide
The School Education Examination is the exam that ends basic education in Nepal and the first one that genuinely counts for admission, and the difference between students who prepare and students who hope is almost always preparation done early.
This page is the starting point for that.

- What is the Class 10 SEE in Nepal?
- The School Education Examination is the national grade 10 examination held by the National Examination Board. It concludes basic education and its marks are used for admission to higher secondary school, including the management and technical streams, which is why it is the first exam in Nepal that carries real weight.
- How many subjects are in the SEE?
- The SEE covers the compulsory subjects together with the optional subjects a student has chosen. Nepali, English, Mathematics, Science and Technology, Social Studies, Health Population and Environment and the other compulsory papers are examined, alongside the optional papers such as Optional Mathematics and Computer Science. A full syllabus is produced in the App Structure and Content of the National Examination Board, and each subject page here lists the chapters in the order that syllabus uses.
- How is the SEE marked?
- Each subject is assessed through a written examination together with internal evaluation carried out by the school, which typically covers project work, subject activities, attendance and periodic assessment. The written paper is where most students lose marks, because it is the part that can be prepared for directly, and every chapter here ends with solved questions aimed at the written paper.
- Is the SEE syllabus the CDC curriculum?
- Yes. The curriculum, content and assessment criteria for the SEE are set by the Curriculum Development Centre, and the National Examination Board examines against that same content. The notes on this site follow the CDC chapters in order, so you can work through the syllabus rather than guessing which topics matter.
- When does the SEE exam take place?
- The SEE is normally held once a year, with the examination typically beginning in the first week of April. The exact dates are announced by the National Examination Board, so check the official notice rather than relying on a date repeated on an unofficial website, including this one.
- How should I plan my SEE preparation?
- Work one subject at a time and finish it before moving on. Read the chapter notes, attempt the solved questions without looking at the solution, then check your answer against the full working to find which step went wrong. Mark the chapter weak and return to it. Attempting questions is what turns reading into marks, and the marks come mostly from the written paper.
- Do I need to buy a guide book to use these notes?
- No. Every chapter listed on this site is readable without an account, a payment or a download, and the solved questions show the full method rather than only the final answer. If you already own a guide book, use these notes to fill the gaps you find in it.
- What are the best books for the Class 10 SEE?
- The most useful book is the official CDC App Structure and Content, because the examination is set against it. Beyond that, students commonly use a reference book that matches each chapter to the CDC content and includes past year questions. Past papers matter more than any single guide, so collect them and attempt them under exam timing. Be careful with unofficial mobile apps that claim to predict questions, because the SEE question paper is not published in advance and no such prediction is possible.
- What is the pass mark for the SEE?
- Pass requirements for the SEE are set by the National Examination Board and are published with the examination notice for that year. Confirm the requirement for your year and your optional group with the official notification, since the treatment of each subject is specified there. A practical target is far higher than the minimum, because these marks decide your higher secondary admission.
- Can I prepare for the SEE in the last month?
- You can improve, but you cannot finish. The syllabus is too large and the written paper rewards understanding over recall, so a last-month attempt usually produces a few extra marks rather than a different grade. Starting with one subject at a time and testing yourself on solved questions as you go is the change that actually moves the result.
