CBSE Class 9 and Class 11 to have PSA test from SA-II onwards

CBSE has asked CBSE affiliated schools to conduct a MCQ based exam called Problem Solving Assessment (CBSE-PSA) for class IX and XI from second term (SA-2) w.e.f. from January-Feburary 2013.
Later the test will be conducted for class X also.

Its score will be added in FA-4 which is 10% of total assessments of Class IX and class XI students will get a certificate. 



1. The test will be compulsory for all students of Classes IX and carry 90 marks. There will be 60 items of MCQ type.

2. For class 9 and 11,  the assesment will be based on the following:
  • Quantitative Reasoning
  • Qualitative Reasoning
  • Language Conventions
3. The Assessment will contain items that will assess written expression, including grammar and usage, vocabulary in context and passage-completion.

For more details and sample question, you may download the circular from the following links from CBSE website.

      As such CBSE hasn't released any PSA sample papers for class XI. Read the Circular on PSA. from CBSE, it specifies that PSA exam will assess the Life Skills relating to following areas:-
      Quantitative Reasoning
      Qualitative Reasoning
      Language Conventions

      I think it will somewhat similar to NDA General Ability Test Paper + NTSE (MAT+SAT).

      For class 11, you will not get the PSA certificate. For class 9, you may get another chance in class 10 for improvement. Check CBSE website or talk to your school.

      I think for class 11, you will not get a certificate. Ask your school to obtain more clarity from CBSE
