ANALYSING A FEW CHANGES OBSERVED
Comparing the earlier released Sample Question Paper with CBSE Additional Practice Questions | Sample Papers 2023-24 for Class 10 & 12, one significant change becomes evident in the original taxonomy, action verbs were used to describe competencies, such as "demonstrate knowledge and understanding," "application of knowledge/concepts," and "formulate, analyze, evaluate, and create." These action verbs guided the assessment process.
Conversely, the additional practice questions replace action verbs with nouns. This alteration aims to offer more clarity and a deeper understanding of concepts through practice. It encourages students to focus on specific cognitive tasks and objectives associated with each question.
This can be evident from the following example-
