SSLC Focus Area Syllabus(toc)
Kerala SSLC 10th Standard Focus Area Study Materials 2021-22
Some of the topics that will concentrate on preparing the students for the SSLC test have been chosen by the Kerala High School Board and SCERT. Students are finding it difficult to deal with the entirety of the components set aside for the approaching high board studies because schools are not operating during the present academic year and all lessons are held online.
Because of this, the government consolidated research in certain areas, and it was predicted that these subjects would account for 90% of questions in each chapter.
