Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) conducted Biology exam on March 23 for the Class 12 Board students. The last two examinations, Economics and Biology exams have been a compensation to the disastrous Mathematics exam which was held on March 18.

After the Mathematics exam, the students have been worried about CBSE’s change in paper pattern. from ‘objective type’ questions to ‘application based’ questions. The Biology exam was a confidence booster for many students.

Students were given a break of four days for the preparation of Biology exam. We have received good reviews from many of our users, a student of Navodaya Vidyalaya, Khowaii, Tripura west said, “Questions were simpler than we had expected and paper was not time consuming.”

Overall the paper consisted of questions that were concept based and interesting. Students thinking and reasoning skills were tested instead of just mere cramming and writing.
