Grammar section comprised multiple-choice questions which helped to save time. A couple of questions in the literature section were tricky and required critical thinking. I had solved sample papers which helped in time management. I hope to score 70/80 marks.”

Meanwhile, teachers also rated Class 10 English question paper easy to moderate.

“In terms of difficulty level the paper was easy to moderate. The reading section was time taking in one or two sets. In Literature section, questions were straightforward but only for those students who studied the NCERT textbooks thoroughly would have answered correctly and confidently. Most students would have been able to attempt the long-answer questions. The writing section included general topics. So, students got an opportunity to express themselves. Questions on poetic devices were intended to evaluate the students’ sound understanding of literary devices. This year, deductive reasoning, critical thinking and analysis were expected from the students. The questions could be attempted within the stipulated time”, said, Ibrahim Nami, PGT (English), Litera Valley School, Patna.
