PREFACE
Since 1966 Karnataka Secondary Education Examination Board has been conducting SSLC
and other examinations. The Albert Einstein said “Education is not the learning of facts, but the
training of mind to think”. So to train the mind and strengthen the roots of students, the KSEEB
implements Continuous & Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE). The term ‘Continuous’ in the CCE
refers to the periodicity and regularity in assessment and the term ‘Comprehensive’ refers to overall
assessment of the learner, in both curricular & co curricular scheme of things.
The KSEEB initiated the change and to support it, Oswaal Publication started an exclusive series
of books which comprises of Sample Question Papers along with other titles. The thought was to give
students enough questions to solve rather than feeding them with answers to remember.
The Sample Question Papers strictly follow the CBSE guidelines, syllabus and marking scheme.
This book has total 10 sample question papers. Out of which 5 question papers are solved, and the
answers follow the word limit specified by the KSEEB. The answers have been written in steps and
each step specifies marks as per the KSEEB marking scheme. In this way students can learn what to
write, how much to write and time management which will reduce their stress during examination.
However as mentioned Oswaal Publication believes that students should do selfpractice with
enough number of questions, hence this book has 5 more sample papers which are unsolved and
meant for self-assessment. After solving the unsolved sample question papers, students can download
solutions from our website and can check their work. In this way students can take proactive measures
for examinations by learning from their mistakes.
Each Sample Question Paper covers all typologies specified by KSEEB. Wherever required, well
labelled and high quality figures/diagrams are given for easy and fast learning. One of the major
attractions is “On Tips Notes” which will help students in revision of the whole syllabus very fast and
effectively.
At last we would like to thank our authors, editors, reviewers and specially students who
regularly send us suggestions which helps in continuous improvement of this book and makes this
book stand in the category of “One of the Best”. Wish you all Happy Learning.
