Question Pattern for SSLC 2021 with Focus Areas
Education Department yet to finalize the question pattern for SSLC exam 2021. As per the details available now, all questions will have options. For the 40 mark examination, will provide you with questions for 80 marks, from that 75% of questions will be taken from Focus Areas. I.e., 60 mark questions will come from focus areas. Students will get the option to answer all the questions. If you get more than 40 marks, it will be considered 40/40, i.e., 100%.
The same pattern applies to subjects with 80 marks also. With the options, 160 mark questions will be asked, which will take 120 mark questions from the focus areas.
Its means were concentrating on the focus areas, and you can secure 100% marks in the upcoming SSLC examinations.
