Frequently asked question

1. How to solve previous year’s question papers?
A. Follow the steps to solve previous papers for preparation

  • Find previous papers of the exam appearing for
  • Treat  it like a real exam
  • Solve questions like you would do in an exam hall

2. Are previous papers enough to prepare for an exam?
A. We recommend candidates study the entire syllabus before solving the question papers. Previous papers must be treated as practice material. They only help you understand what kind of questions to expect in an exam. If you do not have time to study the entire syllabus, you can practice multiple previous papers. They are not the best alternative to studying the entire syllabus but help in scoring marks.

3. Will questions be asked from sample papers only?
A.  The sample paper released by the board is based on the actual question paper format. It helps students get an overview of the pattern of the paper. This includes the types of questions and sections, topics asked, marks distribution, etc. Do not expect questions to be asked from the sample paper.

4. Do previous year’s paper questions repeat?
A. If you have solved the previous 5 years or 10 years papers, you will know that a few questions do repeat. That is why previous year question papers and sample papers are given so much importance. But, relying completely on previous papers will not help. Sometimes questions might not repeat. Sometimes only a couple of questions might repeat.
