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 CBSE started Continuous & Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE). The term 'Continuous' in the 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.

The CBSE 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 CBSE. The answers have been written in steps and each step specifies marks as per the CBSE 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 self-practice 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 contains question from all the required sections i.e. reading & comprehension, writing, grammar and literature reader. Each section is updated and in line with CBSE guidelines and syllabus. Our team has given special focus while writing sample question papers 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. Each and every single question covers all typologies specified by CBSE. Oswaal Publication believes in continuous improvement, hence this book is updated, reviewed every year with new questions and all the answers are checked twice.

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.
