60% creative questions in JSC math

Students sitting for the Junior School Certificate (JSC) examinations will have to answer 60 percent creative questions in mathematics from this year.

The education ministry issued an order on Friday redistributing numbers for JSC math.

Last year, JSC examinees had to answer creative questions papers apart from Bengali second paper, English first and second paper and mathematics.

This time, 60 marks have been allocated for the creative section and the rest for multiple choice questions.

Students will have to answer six out of nine questions from four sections.

JSC test system was introduced in 2010 for grade-VIII students.
