Q:   Does PSEB repeat questions from the Sample Paper for Class 12 Board exams 2025?
A: 

As PSEB Class 10 Board Exams 2025 approach, the question running in every student's mind is that if questions from the official Punjab board sample paper appear in the actual exam? While the answer isn't as clear-cut as a yes or no, let's delve into the world of exam paper mysteries and unravel the truth.

PSEB releases sample papers to familiarise students with the exam format and marking scheme. While some students hope for direct question repeats, it's important to understand that exact copies of questions from the sample paper are highly unlikely to appear in the actual exam. 

The board aims to assess a wide range of concepts and skills across the syllabus. Relying on repeated questions from the sample paper would limit this scope and potentially disadvantage students who haven't focused on those specific topics.

Though direct repeats are uncommon, the sample paper serves as a valuable resource for understanding the exam pattern and question types. You will likely encounter questions similar in style, difficulty level, and format to those in the sample paper but not same.

Thus, it is recommended that you complete your syllabus and solve all the sample papers provided here. This shall help you score well in the board exams.

Q:   When should I start solving PSEB 12th sample papers and previous year question papers?
A: 

Once you finish learning according to PSEB 12th syllabus, you can start solving the PSEB 12th sample papers and previous year question papers. You can solve the question papers and understand your weaknesses. Thus you can concentrate more on the topics on which you are weak.

A: 

Hard work, self-study and practice should be your 3 mantras to score 95% or above in class 12th. Follow the steps below to score well in PSEB 12th board exams 2025-

Creating a Proper Study Plan. 

If you haven’t made a proper study plan yet, you need to do it right now. Because that is considered basic and yet very important to plan out how you are going to prepare for your exam. And it is very important if you’re preparing for the 10th or 12th PSEB board exam. To achieve something, you need to set a goal daily so that you can work on it every day. Without any proper planning, you might just end up being confused about what you need to study, it happens right? When exams are near, you just want to study everything at once. But if you have everything planned out, it will become easy for you. 

Know PSEB Exam Syllabus and Pattern 

First, you need to thoroughly go through the PSEB exam syllabus. You need to keep these things in the back of your mind as to which kind of chapters and which kind of pattern you will be needed to follow for the Punjab board 12th exam preparation. By doing that you’ll get to know the kind of questions you need to focus on the most. What kind of questions are being repeated and what is the marking scheme while they check the papers? To get satisfactory results you need to do smart work along with hard work and that’s exactly what we are trying to explain at this point. 

Listing Out Important Topics 

In every subject some topics need special attention, sometimes it’s because we don’t get it well enough like the other topic, and sometimes because we get to see questions from those topics frequently in the question pattern. So, that topic should be jotted down, and you should be paying special attention to it and take out separate time for it when you plan for the studying schedule so that you do not miss those topics. In situations like this PSEB online coaching could be of significant help. 

Brush Up Your Handwriting Skills  

When you prepared hard for your examination and made sure everything goes well you don’t want anything minor to be the deal breaker. I am talking about the presentation of your answer sheet. If you keep it neat and tidy you might earn a plus point for that and vice versa. Now how you keep your answer sheet tidy, depends on your handwriting, you should be having clear and easy-to-understand handwriting, so that the examiner finds it easy to check your paper. You need to understand this yours’s will be not the only paper that he will check, so you need to try to stand out a bit, so make sure to work on your Handwriting skills before your exam. 

Compete with yourself  

In any field, you need to focus on being the better version of yourself instead of comparing yourself with others. Repeatedly you need to put yourself through tests to get better and better at whatever you are doing. So, in studies as well you need to focus on sharpening your own skills. For that what you can do is, solve the previous year’s question paper to put yourself through the test and try to get better than the last time. Compare how many questions you get right every time you take a test. That way you’ll get better and better at it. It will also make you familiar with several types of questions. 

Making Short Notes of Every Subjects  

Making notes play an important part while preparing for the board exams, especially during revision because you don’t want to read each line while revising, you will just need to get the important points. So, it is important to make notes while you are studying the chapters thoroughly for every subject. Whichever points you feel are important you need to jot them down in your own words; because in books things are not always written in simple language, so writing it in your own words might make it easy for you to read it again. 

Focus on NCERT Books

While preparing for exams everybody tends to hop into different books to get a better understanding of the topics but all it does is make you even more confused. You can use the supplementary reader to revise the topics that your learned but reading one topic in different books is not a good decision. Focus on one book and that is the NCERT textbook while you are reading something; because questions might come in a unique way in every exam but the context will always be the same. 

Solving Previous Year Question Papers

The best way to revise what you read is by solving the previous year’s question papers. Along with the revision, it will give you a better understanding of the question pattern of the question paper. It is best to look into the question papers from the last 10 years to get a better idea of the questions. You will also overcome the fear of new questions. Remember “Practice makes a man perfect, ” so all you need to do is practice hard.

Good luck!
