10th Class Pakistan Studies students under the Punjab boards now have the official 2025 pairing scheme for their board exams. It covers BISE Lahore, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Sargodha, Gujranwala, Sahiwal, Multan, Bahawalpur, and Dera Ghazi Khan, along with the Azad Kashmir board, and lays out the 50-mark paper across chapters 5 to 8.
10th Class Pak Studies continues from the chapters covered in Class 9, so this scheme focuses only on chapters 5–8. It shows the MCQ split, the short-question attempt rules, and which chapters the three long questions are drawn from — so your revision covers the right half of the book.

Important Things to Know
- This paper only covers chapters 5–8 — chapters 1–4 belong to the Class 9 Pak Studies paper, so don’t mix them up.
- Chapters 6 and 7 carry the most MCQs and short questions — give them extra revision time.
- Q.6 has two compulsory parts from different chapters (6 and 8) — you can’t skip either half if you choose this question.
- This scheme is built around Punjab boards. Prepare all four chapters fully rather than relying on the scheme alone.
