These downloads give Class 9 students the chapter-wise study material needed to prepare for half-yearly tests. You can also browse our wider Class 9 resource collection for more subjects.

Half-yearly exams test the first half of your syllabus. The PDFs listed below cover the core chapters from your textbooks, so you can study exactly what your school will test. Use this page to find the chapters you need, download them, and start revising.

Download ICSE Class 9 Books PDF

These are the 61 chapter-wise books PDFs hosted on icseboard.org for ICSE Class 9, organised by subject. Each section below explains what those books cover before the download table.

Biology

The Biology PDFs cover chapters on Health Organisations and Waste Generation And Management. They explain how science studies living beings and introduce the basics of public health systems. Students use these chapters to learn waste types, disposal methods, and the roles of health agencies for their half-yearly tests.

Chemistry

The Chemistry PDFs cover 21 chapters on symbols, valency, radicals, compounds, and balancing chemical equations. They include reference charts for formulas, valency, and the Modern Periodic Table. Students use these to practice writing formulas and balancing equations using the hit-and-trial method.

Mathematics

The Mathematics PDFs cover 28 chapters starting with Rational and Irrational Numbers, Compound Interest, Expansions, and Factorisation. They teach how to identify terminating decimals by checking the prime factors of a denominator. Students use the exercise problems in each chapter to build calculation speed for half-yearly exams.

Physics

The Physics PDFs cover 10 chapters on Measurements, Motion in One Dimension, Laws of Motion, Pressure in Fluids, and Heat and Energy. They teach SI units, Vernier callipers, and the simple pendulum formula. Students use these chapters to learn correct unit symbols and practice numerical problems for their tests.

How to use these chapter PDFs for half-yearly revision

Each subject in the table covers a different set of chapters. Here is how to use them for your half-yearly tests:

• Identify your test syllabus: Check which chapters your school included in the half-yearly portion before downloading.
• Download by subject: Pick the subject you want to revise and save the chapter PDFs to your device.
• Make short notes: As you read each PDF, write down key formulas, definitions, and diagrams.
• Practice the exercises: Solve the textbook questions at the end of each chapter to test your understanding.

What each subject covers inside these PDFs

The 61 PDFs span four subjects. Each one teaches different topics that matter for your half-yearly tests.

Biology: Health and the environment

The Biology PDFs focus on Health Organisations and Waste Generation And Management. These chapters explain how science studies living beings and how health systems work. You will learn about waste types, disposal methods, and why managing waste matters for public health.

For these chapters, focus on the definitions and the roles of different health agencies. Diagrams of waste management cycles often appear in tests, so practice drawing and labelling them.

Chemistry: Symbols, valency, and equations

The Chemistry PDFs cover symbols, valency, radicals, and compounds. You will learn how to write chemical formulas and balance equations using the hit-and-trial method. The material also includes reference charts for formulas, valency, and the Modern Periodic Table.

Pay attention to the difference between mono, di, tri, and tetra valent elements. Practice balancing equations with different numbers of reactants and products, since this is a common test area.

Mathematics: Numbers, interest, and algebra

The Mathematics PDFs start with Rational and Irrational Numbers. You will learn how to check if a fraction gives a terminating decimal by looking at the prime factors of its denominator. If the denominator has only 2 or 5 as prime factors, the decimal terminates.

Other chapters cover Compound Interest (with and without formulas), Expansions, Factorisation, and Framing of Formulas. Solve the exercise problems in each PDF to build speed for your half-yearly test.

Physics: Measurements, motion, and forces

The Physics PDFs cover Measurements and Experimentation, Motion in One Dimension, and the Laws of Motion. You will study SI units, Vernier callipers, and the simple pendulum. The material includes the formula T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{g}} for the pendulum’s time period.

Other chapters explain Pressure in Fluids, Upthrust and Archimedes’ Principle, and Heat and Energy. Learn the correct SI units and symbols, since examiners check these carefully.

Common mistakes students make while studying these chapters

When preparing for half-yearly tests, students often lose marks on avoidable errors. Here are the common mistakes to avoid:

Study order for the first term

A study order helps you cover the syllabus without rushing. Follow this sequence for each subject:

1. Start with theory chapters: Read Biology and Physics chapters first, since they need memorisation and diagram practice.
2. Move to calculation chapters: Practice Mathematics and Chemistry daily, since these need problem-solving speed.
3. Revise formulas and charts: Use the Chemistry reference charts and Physics formulas for quick revision.
4. Solve exercises: Attempt every textbook question in the PDFs to find your weak areas before the test.

You can find more ICSE books and study material on our site to support your revision.

Frequently asked questions about these PDFs

How many PDFs are available on this page?

There are 61 chapter PDFs across four subjects: Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics.

Do these PDFs cover the full syllabus or only half-yearly topics?

They cover the full textbook chapters. For your half-yearly test, download only the chapters your school included in the first-term portion.

Are these PDFs enough for half-yearly preparation?

These PDFs give you the chapter material and exercises. Read them, make notes, and solve the questions. If you need more practice, use the additional reference charts included in the Chemistry section.

Can I download all subjects at once?

Yes. You can download the PDFs subject by subject from the table above. Save them to your device so you can study offline.
