One of the major reforms carried out by CBSE for the 2020 class X board examination is giving students the choice of selecting either the easier version or the standard version of the Mathematics exam.
While the easier version will be known as ‘Mathematics-Basic’ for those who do not wish to take up the subject after class X, the ‘Mathematics-Standard’ will be relatively tough and for those who wish to make a career in Science.
As the students have already opted for their choice during the registration for the board exam, CBSE has released the sample question paper for both the formats.
- For Mathematics-Basic, students can click here to have an idea about the level of preparation required.
- Students who are appearing for Mathematics-Standard can click here and find out the level of difficulty and prepare accordingly.
Both the papers will carry 80 marks each and will be of three-hour duration. The class X board exams are likely to start in February-March 2020.
According to CBSE, students who opt for ‘Mathematics-Standard’ but fail in the exam, can opt for ‘Mathematics-Basic’ in the compartments. Students who take the Mathematics-Basic can only re-appear in the same paper in the compartments.
