Malcolm Forbes said “Education's purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one” and this is something which is always followed by Karnataka Secondary Education Examination Board (KSEEB), whether through their education system framework or regular enhancement in curriculum. The aim of KSEEB Curriculum is not just to let learners obtain basic knowledge but to make them life-long learners.
The purpose of this book is to nurture individuality and thus enhance one's innate potentials which help in increasing the self-study mode for students. This book strengthens knowledge and attitude related to subject. This book is designed in such a way that students can set their own goals and can improve their problem solving and thinking skills.
This book is strictly as per the latest KSEEB blueprint & Design for SSLC Exams. It contains variety of questions from textbooks. It contains all types of questions like VSA Questions (Very Short Answer), SA Questions (Short Answer), MCQs (Multiple Choice Questions) and LA Questions (Long Answer). A synopsis is given for every chapter which contains important points from that chapter. Each chapter has high quality figures wherever required for better, fast and clear understanding.
OSWAAL SSLC Question Bank is different and better in terms of High Quality Questions which are developed by 'OSWAAL Expert Panel' which ensures success in examination. OSWAAL Books always adhere to latest curriculum and this question bank also adheres to SSLC blueprint which enables exam oriented preparation. Formative Assessment Activities are also included in this question bank which increases listening, reading and writing skills. Project Activities are developed for the first time for SSLC. The entire Question Bank is strictly based on the latest textbooks issued by Karnataka Textbook Society for Academic Year 2014-2015.
Through OSWAAL Books students are taught how to think, not what to think. We at OSWAAL Books try to use quality content, standard language, creativity and high quality figures, which makes readers to enjoy it because we believe if our readers don't enjoy reading our book then there is no use in reading it at all. This is one of the reasons that the scope of this book extends from students to teachers. Teachers can use this book as a perfect teaching guide and students can use this book for good learning and practice.
At last we would like to thank our authors, editors, reviewers and specially students whom we request to send suggestions regularly which will help in continuous improvement of this book and will make this book “One of the Best”. Wish you all Happy Learning.
