Recently in a video conference, CBSE has announced that they will be revising the question pattern for almost all subjects in the upcoming examinations. So, my dear students, I think it’s time for you to be comprehensively aware of the regulations by CBSE and get prepared.
In the video conference, CBSE has declared that from now on 50% of the total questions will be in a multiple-choice based pattern. This regulation applies to all subjects. The board members also conveyed that questions will be framed in such a way that the paper will be more efficient to analyse the students’ overall comprehension skills rather than evaluating their memorization ability.
The same applies to English Writing too. CBSE has specifically mentioned that questions based on the format of the English writings will no longer be asked. Rather the paper will focus more on evaluating the students’ overall understanding and comprehensive ability on the writing.
Based on this regulation released by CBSE, we decided to come up with sessions containing suggestive model MCQs related to different English comprehension writings. We have already come up with sessions on model questions related to Letter Writing MCQs, Classified Advertisement Writing MCQs, as well as Notice Writing MCQs. All those sessions are still available on our website. You can check them out and download those sessions in PDF format for your further help in future
Today, I’m going to present to you a comprehensive session on model MCQs related specifically to article writing. Follow the session with the utmost attention and try to understand the question pattern suggested by CBSE and their questioning mentality.
