Karnataka- SSLC- 2020- Mathematics model question paper pattern

Everyone knows, most of the academic exams are postponed due to COVID-19. The dates for Karnataka SSLC exams are not declared. Many are guessing it will be in the second week of May, and some are guessing the exams might be cancelled(I doubt this option ). Whatever, students should be ready for any situation.

Meanwhile , SSLC board has published the model question paper for the year, in the site : http://kseeb.kar.nic.in/

I have consolidated the points here:

In the question paper, school candidates will have 38 questions for 80 marks, and private candidates will have 48 questions for 100 marks.
2 marks questions have been reduced and 1 mark and 3 marks questions have been increased. 5 marks questions are introduced.
The text book “Optional exercise”. The questions from this exercise are not from examination point of view, though students can solve this for the purpose of practice.
There is a probability of reducing the number of questions which are directly selected from the text book.
One theorem for 3 marks and one theorem for 4 mars or 5 marks will be asked from the following areas:
1. Thale’s theorem
2. AA similarity criterion theorem
3. Theorem on areas of similar triangle
4. Pythagoras theorem
5. Converse of Pythagoras theorem
6. Theorems of circles
The skill related questions may be from following
1. To solve pair of linear equations graphically
2. To draw ogive graph
3. Construction of two similar triangles
4. To divide given line segment in the given ratio
5. Constructions related to circle
Internal choice of questions will be within the theme or within the unit as mentioned below:
1. 4 marks one question
2. 3 marks 4 questions
3. 2 marks 2 questions
