Free CBSE Class 11 baseline test: start of Class 11
Find out where a student is starting from at the start of Class 11. 20 multiple-choice questions on the whole Class 10 syllabus that Class 11 builds on: real numbers, polynomials, linear and quadratic equations, APs, triangles, coordinate geometry, trigonometry, circles, mensuration, statistics and probability, marked instantly, with a report that shows which topics are secure and which need work.

What it covers
The test is written for the start of Class 11 of CBSE Class 11. It covers the whole Class 10 syllabus that Class 11 builds on: real numbers, polynomials, linear and quadratic equations, APs, triangles, coordinate geometry, trigonometry, circles, mensuration, statistics and probability. Each question is tagged with the topic it tests, so the report maps straight onto the course:
- HCF and LCM
- Terminating decimal expansions
- Zeroes and coefficients
- Pair of linear equations
- Consistency of a pair of equations
- Solving quadratics by factorisation
- Nature of roots
- nth term of an AP
- Sum of an AP
- Basic Proportionality Theorem
- Distance formula
- Section formula
- Trigonometric ratios
- Trigonometric ratios of specific angles
- Heights and distances
- Length of a tangent
- Area of a sector
- Volume of combined solids
- Mean of grouped data
- Probability with playing cards
How it works
- 20 questions, four options each, one mark per question, about 40 minutes. No calculator.
- Online or on paper. Click A, B, C or D online, or fill in the one-page answer sheet and upload a photo: the bubbles are read for you and anything unclear is shown to check.
- Students on their own see their result and topic report as soon as they submit.
- Teachers set it for a class from the class page, print the paper and answer sheets, and release results when everyone has finished. The class report shows each student's gaps and the weakest topics across the class, and results go into the class's mastery grid.
Two sample questions
These are like the questions in the test, with different numbers. They are not in the test itself.
Sample 1 · nth term of an AP
An arithmetic sequence begins \(10, 7, 4, 1, \dots\). What is its 21st term?
- \(-53\)
- \(-63\)
- \(-50\)
- \(207\)
Show the answer and working
Answer: C
\(u_{21} = u_1 + (21 - 1)d = 10 + 20 \times -3 = -50\).
A is what you get if you used n instead of n − 1. B is what you get if you left out the first term. D is what you get if you multiplied the first term by n.
Sample 2 · Solving quadratics by factorisation
Solve \(3x^{2} + 11x - 4 = 0\).
- \(x = -\frac{1}{3} \text{ or } x = 4\)
- \(x = 1 \text{ or } x = -4\)
- \(x = \frac{1}{3} \text{ or } x = 4\)
- \(x = \frac{1}{3} \text{ or } x = -4\)
Show the answer and working
Answer: D
\(3x^{2} + 11x - 4 = 0\) factorises as \((3x - 1)(x + 4) = 0\), so \(x = \frac{1}{3} \text{ or } x = -4\).
A is what you get if you took the numbers in the brackets as the solutions (wrong signs). B is what you get if you ignored the coefficient of x in a bracket. C is what you get if you made a sign error in one root.
What the report looks like
Example report (made-up results for one student):

Each weak topic links to practice on that topic, and each wrong answer names the common mistake it comes from (for example “moved a number across without changing its sign”).
Questions students and teachers ask
Is the baseline test free?
Yes. The test, the result and the topic report are free. Sign in with a free account (Google, Microsoft or email) so your result is saved; there is no payment and no card. Teachers use it free with a class too: printable papers, answer sheets and the class report come with a free teacher account.
How long does it take?
20 multiple-choice questions, about 40 minutes. No calculator, as in the CBSE board exams. A teacher can set it as a timed test.
Can it be done on paper?
Yes. A teacher prints the question paper and a one-page answer sheet. Students fill in one bubble per question; a photo of the sheet is read for you. The bubbles are read twice (on the device and with AI), and any question where the readings disagree is shown on screen to check. Everyone can also answer online by clicking A, B, C or D.
What does the result show?
The score, a topic-by-topic report with the weakest topics first, the common mistake behind each wrong answer, and links to practise each weak topic. It shows where a student is starting from; it is not a grade prediction.
Can a student take it more than once?
Each student takes each test once (and once for each class it is set for), so the result stays a fair starting point. Teachers release class results when everyone has finished.
