The Central Board of Secondary Education has decided to revise the format and pattern of the question paper in English (Communicative) course for Class X. The revised question paper will come into effect from March, 2005 Board Examination for Class X. The major changes are as under:
1. Separate Question Paper and Answer Booklet (as in all other subjects) will replace the present pattern of a single booklet containing questions and space for answers.
2. Marks have been redistributed as shown below:
Skill Present Pattern New Pattern
Reading 30 marks 20 marks
Writing 30 marks 30 marks
Grammar 15 marks 20 marks
Literature 25 marks 30 marks
Total 100 marks 100 marks

3. There will be only two texts for reading comprehension in Section-A.
4. One additional question each for 5 marks will figure in Grammar and Literature Sections.

Sample Question papers based on the new format and pattern will be sent to all the schools shortly. The contents of this circular may be brought to the information of all
Concerned.
Yours faithfully,
