The exam paper will be divided into 3 sections. Section A will be 15 marks, Section B will be 15 marks as well and Section C will contain 10 marks. Students will have to mark the answers in the provided answer booklet. As per the marking scheme for each correct answer, 1 mark will be provided. The theory paper consists of 40 marks and there will be a practical or internal assessment for 10 marks.
Apart from this, students had to undergo an internal assessment of practical work for a total of 20 marks. It included sections from Plant Life and Animal Life. This assessment was evaluated by an external teacher, not belonging to the relevant subject or class.
In the specimen paper provided questions are based on theory as well as diagrams, so the same is expected for tomorrow’s exam. Students are advised to read the question paper properly before attempting it, so there is no margin for mistakes.
