These ranges of steps and time requirements for the answers are, however, suggestive. In
practice, actual number of steps and time needed may vary. As the total time is calculated on
the basis of the number of questions required to be answered and the length of their anticipated
answers, it would, therefore, be advisable for the candidates to budget their time properly by
cutting out the superfluous lengths and be within the expected limits.

Scheme of Options
All questions are compulsory i.e. there is no overall choice in the question paper. However,
internal choices have been provided in two questions of 3 marks each, two questions of 4
marks each and two questions of 6 marks each. These choices have been given from within the
same topic and in questions which test higher mental abilities of students.

A question may vary in difficulty level from individual to individual. As such, the assessment
in respect of each question will be made by the paper setter on the basis of general anticipation
from the group as whole taking the examination. This provision is only to make the paper
balanced in its weight, rather to determine the pattern of marking at any stage.
Based on the above design, there are two separate sample papers along with their Blue Prints
as well as questionwise analysis. For the examination of the Board, while the design of the
question papers will remain same, blue prints based on this design may change.
Note : Though weightages to content/subject units, objectives and forms of questions etc. have
been clearly assigned, yet depending on the exigencies of the paper, these can vary to some
extent in Board's examination.
