How we check every question

Every question passes four checks before a student sees it, and any error found afterwards is fixed as a priority and listed below.

Check 1

Written by a maths expert

Original questions in the board's styles: multiple choice, assertion–reason, case study, very short, short and long answer. Never copied from textbooks or other sites. The questions are reviewed by Pete Bromfield, a former Head of Maths with examining experience and experienced teacher.

Check 2

Solved again, independently

A second, independent solve of every question from the question alone, with every numerical answer checked, every multiple-choice key and every assertion–reason verdict confirmed, and the step marks added up.

Check 3

Matched to the syllabus

Topics deleted from the rationalised NCERT books are removed, and every question is tagged to its chapter and topic in the current CBSE curriculum.

Check 4

Checked for originality

Anything too close to a textbook exercise or a past board question is rewritten, not just renumbered.

What the checks changed

Before publishing, the independent checks replaced or corrected 200 questions: 137 in Class 10 (121 replaced, 16 corrected) and 63 in Class 12 (53 replaced or rewritten, 10 corrected). Most replacements were questions judged too close to a textbook exercise, a past board paper or another question in the bank; the rest fixed a wording, a key or a mark total. The last full review was in September 2026.

Class 9 had its second, independent examiner check in October 2026: every bank question, chapter test question, flashcard, Question of the Day and formula-sheet line was solved again from scratch. It corrected 4 questions (two mark schemes used a method from a later class, one gave a weak reason and one called two panes a kite when their sides cannot make one) and 4 lines in the notes and the formula sheet. Class 11 has not had this second check yet.
