What makes a question the Most Important Question?

In the CBSE Board Exams, a “Most Important Question” is one that has a high probability of appearing in the exam and covers key concepts from the syllabus. These questions are usually identified based on past trends, weightage of chapters, and CBSE’s pattern of testing conceptual understanding rather than rote memorization.

Most Important Questions

Here’s what makes a question a “Most Important Question” in CBSE exams:

1. Repetition in Previous Years’ Papers

If a question (or its concept) has appeared repeatedly in the past 5–10 years, it’s considered important.
Example: Questions on Ohm’s Law, photosynthesis process, or Newton’s Laws appear in almost every year’s Science paper.

2. High-Weightage Chapters

Chapters carrying more marks often yield the most important questions.
For instance:
- Class 10 Science: Electricity, Life Processes, Our Environment
- Class 12 Physics: Electrostatics, Current Electricity, Ray Optics
Important questions from these chapters often make up 30–40% of the paper.

3. Conceptual and Application-Based Nature

CBSE now emphasises understanding and application, not just memorization.
So, questions that test real-life application, reasoning, or analysis are given priority.

Example:

“Why is series connection not used in household wiring?”
This is conceptual + real-life = high-importance.

4. Competency-Based and Case Study Questions

CBSE increasingly adds case-based, assertion-reason, and analytical questions.
Practicing such question types makes you ready for new-format important questions.

5. Marked or Starred in NCERT

NCERT textbooks often contain in-text questions, activity-based questions, and end-of-exercise problems.
Many of these are directly picked or reframed in exams — especially those linked to key definitions or derivations.

6. Teachers’ and CBSE Sample Paper Focus

Questions similar to those in CBSE sample papers, official practice sets, and school-prepared mock tests usually indicate important topics.

हिंदी महत्वपूर्ण प्रश्न

हिंदी विषय चार भागों में विभाजित है – गद्य, पद्य, पूरक पुस्तक और व्याकरण। प्रत्येक भाग में महत्वपूर्ण प्रश्नों का अभ्यास करना अत्यंत आवश्यक है। पाठ्य पुस्तक के पाठों पर आधारित महत्वपूर्ण प्रश्न न केवल परीक्षा की दृष्टि से महत्वपूर्ण होते हैं, बल्कि वे पूरे पाठ के मुख्य बिंदुओं को दोहराने में भी सहायता करते हैं। इन प्रश्नों को ध्यानपूर्वक पढ़ने से छात्र की समझ गहरी होती है, लेखन कौशल में सुधार होता है और परीक्षा के समय उत्तर लेखन में आत्मविश्वास बढ़ता है। नियमित अभ्यास से छात्र अच्छे अंक प्राप्त कर सकते हैं और विषय में निपुणता हासिल कर सकते हैं।
