How can I compare SQP questions with my NCERT chapters?

This process helps you understand exactly what to study, how deep to go into each topic, and what type of questions CBSE is focusing on.

A Step-by-Step Guide to Mapping SQP with NCERT 

Follow these steps to make your revision ultra-focused and effective.

1. Gather Your Tools You'll need:

• The latest CBSE Official Sample Paper (SQP) for a subject.
• The corresponding NCERT textbook.
• A dedicated notebook or a spreadsheet.
• A pen or highlighter.

2. Solve the SQP First (Blind) Before you begin mapping, attempt to solve the entire SQP like a real exam. This gives you a baseline of your strengths and weaknesses.
3. Map Each Question Go through the SQP one question at a time. For each question:

• Identify the Core Concept: Read the question and figure out the main topic it's testing. (e.g., "Reflection of Light," "Federalism," "Acids, Bases, and Salts").
• Locate it in the NCERT: Find the exact chapter, page number, and topic in your textbook where this concept is explained.
• Log the Details: In your notebook, write down the mapping.
