PREFACE

iv

CBSE always believes in Global Trends of Educational Transformation. The CBSE curriculum

gets its lead from National Curriculum Framework – 2005 and Right to Free and Compulsory

Education Act – 2009. CBSE introduced CCE in the later half of 2009. CCE has been started to

improve the quality of Education and was meant to lessen the burden of studies on Students. CCE

stands for Continuous & Comprehensive Evaluation. The term 'Continuous' in CCE refers to

periodicity and regularity in assessment and the term 'Comprehensive' refers to overall assessment

of the learner, in both curricular & co curricular scheme of things.

These Oswaal CCE Question Banks for Classes IX & X have been written so as to supplement

the need of the students to prepare for these progressive assessments at school during the entire

year.

CCE Question Bank has been divided into two parts: Formative assessment (FA) & Summative

Assessment (SA). Formative part of the book will assist the students to prepare for the frequent class

room based evaluation, both as an individual and as a group activity. The various formative

techniques include Quizzes, Chapter assignment, Work sheets, Projects, Seminar, Symposium,

Action Plans, etc. These activities have been elaborated by CBSE Board on www.cbse.nic.in. The

students can read through all these components while revising a chapter to be always prepared for

the surprise FA's in the class.

Question Bank is divided in 3 sections i.e. Reading, Writing & Grammar and Literature Reader &

Long Reading Text. Each section is updated and in line with CBSE guidelines and syllabus. Our

team has given special focus while writing for language based subjects, because this subject is not

only important from examination point of view but also improves day to day communication

through reading, writing and grammar skills. Solutions are always checked twice and tried to made

precise as per the CBSE marking scheme. Practically, this book provides students everything they

need to learn. Since we believe in continuous improvement, hence this book is updated, reviewed

every year with new questions, changes in syllabus and reader's suggestions.

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.
