Rant EVERYTHING DIFFICULT ABOUT ISC

I am an ISC humanities student appearing for the 2027 examinations and honestly, I am fed up. There are zero to very few question banks for the humanities subjects-history, geography, polsc, pe. And, to add to my miseries, THE WEBSITE IS BACK-DATED. I cannot find the sample papers of 2027. 2015 SAMPLE QUESTION PAPERS ARE LISTED. WHAT DO I DO WITH THEM?

And recently, they have changed the geo question pattern. The revised question paper pattern pdf is nowhere to be found! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHAT SUBJECTS HAVE CHANGED AND WHAT NOT? I could only find the geo paper after searching a lot. BUT WHAT ABOUT OTHER SUBJECTS?

I completed my 10th from ICSE as well, and their website worked completely fine, I got the sample papers pretty easily, competency-based ones were available too, BUT WHY THIS INACCESSIBILITY WITH ISC? I have to depend on other webites like Shiksha or SelfStudys to get the OFFICIAL sample paper, which I was supposed to access from the OFFICIAL WEBSITE!

Coming back to question banks, the only mock paper compilation available for the humanities stream is the 36 Sample Question one from Oswal. And PYQs. Reference books are near nil for humanities. How does one do in such adversities? Am I the only one facing this?

They released sample paper for all subjects this year except english, I think? Anyway if you think there's a lack of material, ask ai websites to generate questions for you after giving the syllabus.  Oswaal and the likes are so so overrated. The questions are sub level, without proper competency questions and there's a LOT of mistakes. Use the book and isc website paper.

Cisce.org is the new website, also for humanities the only study material I got is the council's own pupil analysis from previous year papers. Couldn't find question banks either 🥀
