CBSE Social Science
Read full descriptionHide full description
Four books. Twenty-two chapters. CBSE Social Science 10 turns the whole CBSE Class 10 Social Science course — History, Geography, Civics, and Economics — into something you can actually revise from: on the bus, the night before a test, or whenever five minutes opens up. Every chapter is built the same way, around four tools you switch between with a tap: Notes to read, Cards to drill, Tricks to remember, and Quiz to test yourself. Two extra study modes sit on the home screen — a History Date Drill and a Mixed Practice quiz. No account, no sign-up, nothing to load. All four books ship inside the app and work completely offline. NOTES Concise, exam-focused revision notes for every chapter, written to the CBSE Class 10 Social Science syllabus — clear headings, bullet points, and clean tables you can scan fast. Geography chapters list the prescribed map work as quick bullet points. CARDS — FLASHCARDS Every chapter has a deck of question-and-answer flashcards. Tap to flip, then mark each card "Got it" or "Still learning" as you work through it. TRICKS — MEMORY MNEMONICS The facts that never stick, made memorable — HVS-P for the forms of power sharing, FIRES for the goals of development, HEI for the components of HDI, and many more — each mnemonic paired with a short explanation. QUIZ Multiple-choice, assertion-reason, and true/false questions, with a worked explanation that appears the moment you answer. 30+ questions per chapter, modelled on the kind that turn up in the CBSE Class 10 board paper. DATE DRILL The 40 key dates from History turned into a recall game — quiz yourself Year → Event or Event → Year over a 10-question round, and stop mixing up your timelines. MIXED PRACTICE Pick a book — or "Everything" — and the app draws a graded 20-question quiz from across that scope. A fast all-rounder before the exam.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: AP Exams at none against CBSE Social Science's shown. On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
