In Class 10 the topic list does not move. As in Class 9 it is:

• Number System
• Algebra
• Comparing Quantities
• Geometry
• Mensuration
• Playing with Numbers
• Data Handling

Nothing else is on the Mental Maths Olympiad syllabus for class 10. Two topics hold most of the sub-topics in the Class 10 prep guide. Comparing Quantities takes in time and distance, simple and compound interest, profit and loss, problems on ages, time and work, boats and streams, average and percentage, partnership, and ratio and proportion. Mensuration covers the surface area and volume of cubes, cuboids, cylinders and cones, heights and distance, and the areas of quadrilaterals, triangles and circles.

Level 1 gives you 60 minutes for its 100 questions. Where the marks come from: the Basique section's 80 one-mark questions make up 80 of the 120 marks, and the Avance section's 20 two-mark questions the other 40. Level 2 is again a 100-question paper of 60 minutes, and nobody loses marks for a wrong choice.

Open the Class 10 study guide for sub-topics, or browse the CREST Mental Maths syllabus class by class.

Keep Mental Maths practice short and regular in Class 10: twenty minutes a day keeps your speed up without crowding out schoolwork.

Focus on the items that reward a trick. Evaluate polynomials by substituting carefully with signs, find still-water speed as the average of the upstream and downstream speeds, and learn the circle formulas with pi as 22/7.

The class 10 Mental Maths sample papers test exactly this: the value of -4x^2 + 7x - 5 at x = -3, a boat at 28 km/h upstream and 44 km/h downstream, and the area of a circle whose circumference is 176 m.
