How to read Sublevo.
Six things the interface will ask you to understand. If your question is not here, write to us — the address is at the bottom.
What do mint and amber mean?
Mint is the board’s signal, not ours. A chapter or article reads mint in proportion to the marks CISCE has actually spent on it — ~9 marks/paper · asked 3 of 4 years · last 2026 means exactly that, counted off real papers. Nothing about how hard we think it is.
Amber is you. It tracks the questions you have flagged for review and what is due today. Where amber meets mint is what to study first, and it only appears once you have started attempting things.
The figure is per paper, never per year: 2026 has both a board paper and a specimen paper, so a per-year average would count that year twice.
What does the badge on a question card mean?
Every question says where it came from, above the question itself, before you reveal anything.
- Official CISCEtranscribed from a CISCE board paper, specimen paper or the competency item bank. It carries the exam year, the paper, the question number, the marks, and a link straight to the source PDF so you can check us. There are 786 of these.
- Practice · Supplementary / AI-generatedwritten by a third party or generated, never by the board. Useful for volume and drill. There are 1,722 of these, and each one says so on its face. We will never pass one off as a board question.
Of the official set, 307 come from CISCE’s competency item bank. That is an official document but not an exam paper, so a competency question never adds a board year to a chapter’s signal.
Why does a question say “Attempt only · no official marking scheme published”?
Because there genuinely is no answer yet. CISCE publishes a paper first and its marking scheme months later, so the 2026 questions are in the app with no official solution behind them — 104 questions today.
We do not write our own solution and print it as if it were the board’s. You can still attempt the question and mark yourself, and that self-mark feeds your review queue exactly like any other. When CISCE publishes the scheme, the real solution appears.
What happens to my progress if I clear my browser?
Your bookmarks, notes, review queue and streak are saved in this browser first, and mirrored to your account when you are signed in — so a second device picks up where you left off.
If you study signed out, that progress lives only in this browser and clearing it will lose the lot. Two things fix that: sign in, or export a backup file from your account page, which you can import again anywhere.
How are Review and Mock different?
Review is spaced repetition. It shows you the few questions that are due today — ones you got wrong or flagged — and schedules the next sighting based on how well you did. It is a daily habit, not a session.
Mock is a timed paper. You sit a mixed set against the clock and score it at the end, to practise pacing rather than recall.
Rough rule: Review most days, Mock when you want to know where you stand.
Why can’t I find a chapter I was taught?
Sublevo targets one exam year at a time and hides what the current ISC syllabus dropped, because a candidate for this year’s paper has no reason to revise a topic the board will not set. Nothing is deleted — the questions stay on disk with their provenance — but they do not appear in the app.
If a chapter your school taught is missing, it is almost certainly off the current syllabus. If you think that is wrong, tell us and we will check it against the CISCE PDF.
Where this content comes from
The board questions in Sublevo are the real ones. Their text, the official marking schemes and the examiners’ comments are reproduced from question papers published by the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE), and that material is CISCE’s copyright, not ours. Every official question names the paper it came from — year, paper, question number — and links to the exact PDF on cisce.org, so you can always read it at source.
Sublevo is an independent study tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or approved by CISCE, and nothing here is an official publication. What we add is our own: the chapter write-ups, the marks-per-paper analysis, the decision tools, and which questions sit together.
Two limits we hold ourselves to. Questions written by anyone other than the board are always badged Practice and never carry an exam year, a paper or a link to a CISCE document, so nothing labelled Practice can pass itself off as a board question. And we do not copy diagrams from CISCE papers — where a board question has a figure, we point you to the original paper rather than reproduce the artwork.
If you are from CISCE and want something changed or taken down, write to support@sublevo.app and we will act on it.
Still stuck?
Write to support@sublevo.app. If you are reporting a wrong question or a wrong solution, send the question’s id — it is in the address bar when you open a card — and we will check it against the source PDF.
