The Term 1 MCQ - Question paper for English Core (301) for class 12 students 2021-2022 was unfair against every concept we’ve learnt in literature so far and the answer key is unjust. (a thread.) ->

• In English we’ve been taught to express OUR thoughts and interpretations in poems and extracts to describe how we feel the character or poet may or may not be feeling.

@cbseindia29 @EduMinOfIndia #cbseterm1 #cbseboards #cbseclass12 • How, pray tell h o w can you tell me grief and regret cannot be experienced together? Or in other q’s where multiple emotions and meanings are stated, what and how can you guarantee both can’t be felt?

@cbseindia29 @EduMinOfIndia #cbseterm1 #cbseclass12 #cbseboards • “unsure but optimistic” and “hopeful but not confident.” Are you telling me if these were written in an exam you’d have interpreted them so differently and marked one wrong over the other?

@cbseindia29 @EduMinOfIndia #cbseterm1 #cbseboard #cbseclass12 • These are TWO of the 30 questions with ambiguous answers. You cannot weigh one answer over the other and even if you can you cannot mark it to be absolute. These are not numbers but emotions and thoughts.

@cbseindia29 @EduMinOfIndia #cbseterm1 #cbseclass12 #CBSEBoardExams2022 •Not only were these the only flip side choices in the q paper but even in the grammar section where two options fit the blanks perfectly? Again, if it’s GRAMATICALLY CORRECT, how is it wrong?

@cbseindia29 @EduMinOfIndia #cbse #cbseterm1 #cbseclass12 • Our batch has been the experimental batch for ALL of your new exam patterns. In 10th grade and then again in 12th - It was alright in 10th but 12th grades will determine our future.

@cbseindia29 @EduMinOfIndia #CBSE #cbseterm1 #cbseclass12 •What college will take me with an 80% grade? If I have dreams for a bigger college where am I stuck? Not all of us are well endowed with rich parents who will pay for seats. They may be marks for you but so much for me.

@cbseindia29 @EduMinOfIndia #cbseterm1 #CBSE #CBSEBoardExams2022 •The last contact with society our batch had was our 10th board exams. Not once have we complained of our circumstances but our mental health has deteriorated considerably and we cannot risk not getting in college.

@cbseindia29 @Minister_Edu #cbse #cbseterm1 • If anything I don’t expect our education ministry who “care” about us to give us grace marks or even consider it. What I demand is a written paper where I can actually express what I can about the pieces of literature we studied.

@cbseindia29 @Minister_Edu #cbse #CBSEBoardExams2022 #cbseenglish•I urge you to have an actual conversation with me to determine wether or not I am capable of speaking the language fluently.Not only will I show you that I am not inept, I will prove to you how my points are valid

@cbseindia29 @EduMinOfIndia #cbseterm1 #cbseboards #CBSEBoardExams2022 •If the English paper was so, I cannot help but stress over how difficult my PCB and psychology papers will be. 2 years of online schooling full of anxiety and stress, we are at your mercy for our future.

@cbseindia29 @Minister_Edu #cbse #CBSEBoardExams2022 #cbseterm1 •We are not guinea pigs for your experiments on new exam patterns and methods. After all most of us are 16-18 year olds barely hanging on, scared and stressed for our future. The admission rates are low everywhere.

@cbseindia29 @EduMinOfIndia #cbseterm1 #cbseenglish #cbseclass12 •If I have to I will break down every answer to prove most of them were ambiguous and the marking scheme was horrendous. I hope same is not the case for the science subjects unless you want children to fail.

For those of you who scrolled this far, I’m pretty sure you have depression to read all of that rant. I just want to say whatever it is, YOU’VE GOT THIS. WE HAVE IT AND WE’LL ALL GET INTO COLLEGE. Let’s manifest it together alright? ;) <3

@cbseindia29 @EduMinOfIndia #cbseterm1 #cbseclass12 #CBSENews • I encourage most of my fellow students to talk about this more and make them aware of our stress and struggles and FORCE them to acknowledge it with our sheer will and determination to be noticed.
