Ms Neha Johar sent us a detailed analysis of CBSE Class 10 Science paper:
"CBSE board exam paper of Science was a 'conceptual paper with many application based questions'. If a student was well versed with each and every concept, they would have found the paper very easy. The difficulty level was moderate. Although for biology and Physics the questions were quite predictable. Chemistry questions in some places were found a little tricky. In section A the questions based on concepts like paragraph based questions, which was intimated by CBSE that they would give such questions, were quite interesting and challenging for average student. Like the question on TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) which is not dealt with such clarity and explanation in the NCERT book.
Students would have found the paper to be a bit lengthy as there were way too many subparts in the given questions."
