What type of questions are asked in the Class 12 English compartment exam?

Yes, in 12th Science compartment exams, the question paper pattern is almost the same as the regular board exam. The compartment exam is just a second chance for students to improve or pass a subject they failed — not a different format.

Here’s what you can expect (varies slightly by board, but generally follows this):

Types of Questions:

• Very Short Answer (VSA) – 1 mark
• Short Answer (SA) – 2 or 3 marks
• Long Answer (LA) – 5 marks
• Numerical Problems (especially in Physics, Chemistry, Maths)
• Diagram-based Questions (especially in Biology and Physics)
• Derivations (Physics) and Chemical Equations (Chemistry)
• Application-based Questions – conceptual questions based on real-life use

You must concentrate on NCERT textbooks; most questions come right from them. Practise prior year compartment papers; the patterns are similar. Also, revise important formulas, derivations, and definitions and solve sample papers under timed conditions.
