CBSE plans Aptitude Test after Class X Board Examinations
The Central Board of School Education CBSE has decided to hold an optional “Proficiency test” for the students of Class X in June 2010, said board chairman Vineet Joshi in Lucknow on Thursday. Joshi was at Millennium School in the city to attend a workshop held for CBSE principals who had come from about 60 schools across the state. The workshop is on the new pattern of Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE).
The test, Joshi said, will be voluntary and for those students who clear Class X in March 2011. Soon, a circular will be released to to CBSE schools to collect data on the number of the students who wish to apply for the test.The voluntary test will be based on the new CCE pattern and top institutions of the country like Central Institute of English And Foreign Languages (CIEFL), Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR), Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education and Central Hindi Institute have been approached for preparing the question papers.
Therefore, I request all my students to remain equally attentive in terms of learning new concepts which are discussed in class.Though these concepts are sometimes out of syllabus, but they would be of great help when you face such kind of examinations.

About CBSE Board Examination (Class X)
Unlike other state board examinations, CBSE is far more better and capricious in nature. One can never predict the pattern as well as the type of questions. So, to be on the beneficial side of this exam, one has to try hook and crook to crack and to practice every variety of question which is possible. CBSE is not about practicing some 1000-1500 questions, its all about doing quality questions with the help of which one can learn new concepts. In the preparation of CBSE Board examination, it doesn't matter how many questions you have solved, but what matters actually is your level of understanding. If you are doing some 10-15 questions which can make you think like hell and can make you learn some 10-15 new concepts, then this approach is far better as compared to doing around 100-200 questions in a day of same type.
One advantage you get by doing a lot of questions of same type is that you will gain some speed. But in the current scenario, CBSE Exams are not about speed, they are about your comprehension of questions.
So, my request to all the students is that instead of solving some 1000-1500 questions overall, try to do some quality questions which will increase your anlytical,conceptual and logical ability because anyway, at the end of the day, you would not be in a condition to remember those 1000 questions. But concept is something which one can always keep with himself/herself.
