The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has decided to hold a mandatory multiple choice questions (MCQ) test for Std IX from the ongoing academic session. Its scores will be counted in the final marks.
The Problem Solving Assessment (CBSE-PSA) will be an analytical reasoning test and its scores will be made part of the fourth Formative Assessment (FA-IV) which comprises 10% of the total marks in Std IX. The FA-IV score is reflected in the combined Std IX-X grade sheet which the board now issues under the Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) system.
