These are the 319 chapter-wise books PDFs hosted on icseboard.org for ICSE, organised by class and subject. Each section below explains what those books cover before the download table.

Class 6 — Biology

These PDFs cover basic life science, starting with the characteristics of living and non-living things. Students learn about cells, plant classification, health, hygiene, and first aid across nine chapters.

Class 6 — Geography

This set covers the earth as a planet, including its shape and the conditions that support life. Further chapters introduce the geographic grid, rotation, revolution, landforms, and types of rocks.

Class 6 — Mathematics

These chapters build foundational number skills, starting with the number system, integers, and the number line. Students then move to factors, multiples, fractions, and decimal fractions across thirty chapters.

Class 6 — Physics

These PDFs introduce basic physical concepts like measurement, force, and friction. Students also study pressure, work, energy, and simple machines through seven chapters.

Class 7 — Biology

These chapters explain the cell as the structural and functional unit of life. Students learn about organisation in living things, movement, nutrition, digestion, respiration, and transpiration.

Class 7 — Chemistry

This set covers the classification of matter into elements, compounds, and mixtures. Students study physical and chemical changes, acids, bases, salts, air, and water across eight chapters.

Class 7 — Mathematics

These PDFs extend number system concepts to powers, roots, HCF, and LCM. The thirty-six chapters also cover fractions, decimal fractions, and the unitary method to build calculation skills.

Class 7 — Physics

These chapters cover mass, weight, density, motion, and sound. Students also study heat, light, shadows, and the reflection of light using plane mirrors across eight chapters.

Class 8 — Biology

These PDFs focus on life processes, including the human circulatory system and transport in plants. Students also study reproduction in plants and animals, health, hygiene, and pollution.

Class 8 — Chemistry

This set covers hydrogen as the lightest element, its occurrence, and preparation. Students then study carbon, carbon-based fuels, carbon compounds, and the properties of metals and non-metals.

Class 8 — Mathematics

These chapters introduce algebra through fundamental concepts, literals, and constants. Students study sets, formulae, polygons, decimals, constructions, HCF, and LCM across forty chapters.

Class 8 — Physics

These PDFs cover the universe, including galaxies, the solar system, and the moon. Students also study physical quantities, lenses, properties of solids, heat, and heat transfer.

Class 9 — Biology

These PDFs cover health organisations and waste generation and management. The material explains the role of science in studying living beings and connects biology to environmental awareness.

Class 9 — Chemistry

This set covers element symbols, valency, radicals, and compound formulae. Students learn to balance chemical equations and use additional charts for formulas, valency, and revision practice.

Class 9 — Mathematics

These PDFs cover rational and irrational numbers, helping students identify terminating decimals without division. The twenty-eight chapters also include compound interest, expansions, factorisation, and formula framing.

Class 9 — Physics

These chapters cover measurements, experimentation, and motion in one dimension. Students study laws of motion, pressure in fluids, atmospheric pressure, Archimedes' principle, and heat energy.

Class 10 — Biology

These PDFs cover cell structure, the cell cycle, and genetics. Students study absorption by roots, transpiration, photosynthesis, and the human circulatory system across fourteen chapters.

Class 10 — Chemistry

This set covers the periodic table, chemical bonding, acids, bases, and salts. Students study analytical chemistry, the mole concept, stoichiometry, and electrolysis across thirteen chapters.

Class 10 — Mathematics

These PDFs cover commercial mathematics, including value added tax, sales tax, and banking. Students also study linear inequations and quadratic equations across thirty chapters.

Class 10 — Physics

These chapters cover turning forces, moments, and equilibrium. Students study work, energy, power, machines, refraction of light, lenses, and the spectrum across twelve chapters.

What These ICSE Textbook PDFs Cover Inside

The downloads span the middle and secondary school syllabus. Each group of PDFs aligns with the CISCE curriculum for that specific class and subject. The material ranges from basic concepts in Class 6 to board-level topics in Class 10.

• Classes 6 to 8 focus on foundational science and maths. You will find chapters on living organisms, matter, energy, and basic number systems.
• Class 9 and 10 cover advanced topics. The Class 10 PDFs include periodic tables, genetics, quadratic equations, and refraction.
• Geography appears for Class 6, covering the earth as a planet, landforms, and rocks.

For a broader collection of textbooks, you can also browse our ICSE books library or check the ICSE books PDF free download page. The official CISCE website provides the full syllabus documents.

How to Use These PDFs for ICSE Exam Preparation

Downloading the files is only the first step. To get real value, you need a structured approach to studying from them. These PDFs work best when used alongside your classroom notes and school textbook.

1. Match the PDF to your syllabus: Open the file for your current class and subject. Check the chapter list against the topics your teacher has covered in school.
2. Read the learning objectives: Each chapter begins with learning objectives or a syllabus outline. Read these first to understand what you are expected to know.
3. Work through the examples: For Mathematics and Physics, do not just read the solved examples. Cover the solution, try the problem yourself, and then check your working.
4. Use the revision sections: Many Class 9 and 10 PDFs include sections marked “For Revision Only”. Use these for quick review before tests.

Common Mistakes Students Make While Studying from PDFs

Studying from digital files has pitfalls. Students often treat PDFs like reference material to skim, rather than textbooks to work through. This leads to shallow preparation.

Frequently Asked Questions About These Downloads

Which classes and subjects do these preboard papers cover?

The table includes 319 PDFs for Classes 6 to 10. Subjects covered are Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Geography. Class 6 includes Geography, while higher classes focus on the core science and maths subjects.
