The paper
What the body's own paper looks like
| Section | Questions | Marks each |
|---|---|---|
| Section 1 — Subjective (syllabus) | 35 | 1 |
| Section 2 — Logical Reasoning | 10 | 1 |
| Section 3 — Higher Order Thinking (HOTs) | 5 | 1 |
| Total | 50 | 50 marks · 65 minutes |
The 65 minutes above is the school route. The individual online route gives the same 50 questions 45 minutes — both are the body's own figures, on its two schedule pages, and neither page mentions the other. Registering directly means planning for 54 seconds a question instead of 78. The body states that the Higher Order Thinking questions are drawn from Section 1, so 40 of the 50 questions come from the English chapter list below and the other 10 are reasoning with no English in them.
