Class XII Physics paper lengthy and tricky, claims students

Class XII Physics paper lengthy and tricky, claims students complained that the question paper was very lengthy and tricky. Students even from Delhi's prestigious schools were so nervous that at the time of examination they all worked up.

"I was surprised to see the paper. Except 20 per cent questions, the rest part of the paper was designed to test the High Order Thinking Skills (HOTS)," said a student of Army Public School at Dhaula Kuan.

A student from Modern School in Vasant Vihar said the paper was both lengthy and tricky. "The five-mark questions were fine, but the problem was with the two-mark and three-mark questions which really required lots of analytical and thinking skills," the student added.

However, the students have said that not a single question was out of syllabus; only the paper was a bit tricky and lengthy.

Some students have altogether different comments on the paper. They felt that the paper was easy on account of it being application-based.

"The paper was easy and different and solving the questions was really exciting. Only you need your fundamental knowledge and clarity of concepts. If your concepts are clear, then attempting the paper would not have been difficult at all," said a student of Delhi Public School at Dwarka.

Physics teachers and experts also believed that the paper was not very tough. There were not too many questions pertaining to HOTS. Students were only required to think before writing their answers. The students who have attempted questions with full confidence, no doubt, they would get good marks, said a Delhi based Physics expert.
