Exam Review and Analysis

Science and Technology Paper-I comprises of Physics and Chemistry chapters. Let’s see the chapter-wise marks distribution for SSC Science & Technology Paper – I.

 

The chapter-wise distribution of marks was according to the usual pattern with a variation of 2%. The highest weightage was given to chapter ‘Carbon compounds’, which was asked for 8 marks on the board paper. Chapters ‘Periodic Classification of elements’ and ‘Effect of the electric current’ had equal weightage. They were asked for 7 marks each in the paper.

Diagram-based questions were asked from chapters on the Refraction of light, Lenses and the Electric effect of electric current. Only two questions from chapter ‘Space Mission’ were asked for 3 marks in the paper. Numerical-based questions were asked from chapter ‘Gravitation’.

So, Science Paper - I was a scoring paper for students who were regular with their learning of concepts and had practised sample papers.
