Jamshedpur, Jan 9: In order to help students perform better in exams, the Jharkhand Academic Council (JAC) has started conducting mock tests for this year’s class X board examinees. The mock tests are designed in a way to help students get familiar with the real exam-hall scenario and add to their preparations for the board finals. Over 4 lakh students are expected to appear.
The tests are conducted in practice tests in three crucial subjects � English (held on January 8), mathematics (January 9) and science (January 10) – which have often been crucial for students. The exam started from 10 am and continued till 1:15 pm as per the standard norms of JAC.
JAC also sends model test papers for all the class X subjects- English, Maths, science, social science, Hindi and Sanskrit which may be downloaded from the council’s website and get students to practice.
“The mock tests question papers are downloaded from the JAC website about half an hour before the exam. This has helped children in overcoming their fear of the examination hall and to check where they went wrong. JAC’s model test papers have also helped children to practice the examination’s question pattern,” said a principal.
East Singhbhum scored a pass percentage of 77.259 per cent in the secondary examination results released by Jharkhand Academic Council (JAC) in 2019.
The education department had arranged for model question papers and distributed in schools. Apart from the mock test conducted by the Jharkhand Academic Council (JAC), the East Singhbhum district under the Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA) also organises mock tests in schools. Also it had asked schools to conduct extra classes for poor students and to clarify their doubts.
” The increase in number of students securing first division marks is an indicator in the better quality of matric result. This is a huge qualitative improvement, ” said an official of JAC.
An official of education department said he was happy with the response from the students, this year would see even better scores. However considering the available resources and infrastructure the result was satisfactory last year.
” The credit goes to the hard work of teachers. We are also focusing� on teacher’s training and students grooming this year keeping in mind the poor results for the last couple of years in the district. We conduct special classes for students and are happy with the results,” he said.
