CBSE Class 10 Science Paper Analysis, Review, Feedback From Students, Teachers
New Delhi:
CBSE Class 10 science paper was easy and students are expecting good marks. After the completion of the exam today, responses from students have been satisfying indicating towards an easy and straightforward question paper. Students say that biology questions were the easiest ones and Chemistry questions seemed to be the toughest section among all (few short answer type questions were tricky). The question paper comprised of two parts; second part was skill based. There were 27 questions in total. Internal choices were provided in two questions of three marks each and one question of five marks. 5 questions, carrying 2 marks each, were based on the practical skills.
An average student can easily score 60% marks said Rupali Saini, a PGT Biology. 'All the questions were from the syllabus and there were direct questions in all the three subjects. Board has designed paper keeping in mind that students are going to write board exam first time,' she added.
"This year, with the implementation of the new assessment pattern in class 10 under which the mandatory board exams are being conducted as the annual assessment, a different format is being followed in board question papers," said Ms Saini. "Class 10 Science question paper also had a different format as compared to that followed in the previous years".
'Questions from ‘Practical’ section were relatively difficult as compared to that from theoretical section. Overall 65+ marks were easily scorable. Paper was lengthy as compared from last year’s question paper. Less questions were asked from previous year’s question paper,' said Mr. Rajshekhar Ratrey, VP, Educational Content, Toppr.com.
Another expert, Mrs Pranamika Bora, TGT Physics in G.D Goenka Public School, Greater Noida, said students would have found Physics and Biology questions easier as compared to some Chemistry questions.

"Overall level of the paper was from expected topics - barring a few- mostly in Chemistry like balancing equations. Value based question was attemptable to all. Scoring more than 95 percentage wouldn't be that challenging," she added.
