CBSE has decided to drop the Problem Solving Assessment (PSA) in classes IX and XI

CBSE In a move that will bring great relief to class IX CBSE students, the board has decided to drop the Problem Solving Assessment (PSA) in classes IX and XI.

Instead, the students will appear for an additional Formative Assessment (FA).

For the past three years, CBSE has been conducting the PSA for classes IX and XI, with the board preparing the question paper along the lines of a competitive examination.

The examination is divided into four sections: reasoning, general knowledge, mathematics and science. The marks obtained in the different sections are then added to the marks of science, English, mathematics and social studies.

Students, teachers and principals in the city say that the cancellation of the PSA is a good move, since it will make a big difference in the marks of the students.

"Preparing for the PSA is difficult, especially since I am not attending any coaching for competitive examinations. I am glad that there will be an extra FA instead of the PSA," S. Kamini, a student of Class IX said.

CBSE removes PSA (Problem Solving Assessment )Test for Class IX, XI

CBSE Mid-way through the academic year, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) on Friday decided to do away with the Problem Solving Assessment (PSA) test from the 2015-2016 academic year. The assessment began in 2013 for students of classes IX and XI, who were expected to solve application-based problems to hone their research and analytical skills.

Ever since the PSA was introduced, it was resented by faculty members and students, who cited its ambiguous nature of the assessment, particularly students inclined towards humanities and social sciences subjects. The test aimed to help students assess their ability to comprehend and process information and did not merely assess the subject matter.
