Which parts still help in 2027?

Most of it. Spelling, verb forms, grammar, narration, pairs of words, essays, paragraphs and Urdu-to-English translation are skills, not chapters, and they are tested the same way every year. The parts tied to lessons (Q1 translation, Q2 short questions, word meanings and the poems) depend on your textbook. Compare them with the contents page of your current 10th class English textbook and skip any lesson or poem that is no longer in it.

Revision tips for the English paper

1. Spend ten minutes a day on the spelling list. These are easy marks that many students lose to one wrong letter.
2. Learn the narration rules once (change of tense, pronouns and time words), then practise ten sentences a day from Q8.
3. Prepare two essays and two paragraphs well, and practise adapting them to nearby topics.
4. For translation into Urdu, aim for natural Urdu that keeps the meaning, rather than a word-for-word copy.

Then go through the 10th class English past papers and the pairing scheme to see how the marks are spread.
